You are invited!
Hello, I am preparing to lead the next round of weekly Mind-Body Skills Groups (MBSGs). This will be the 6th cycle of groups I have led. The first meeting will be the 2nd week of April and we will plan to continue for at least 8 weeks, and could extend up to 12 weeks if desired by the majority of the group. Please contact me if you would like to be one of the 6-8 participants. I completed training to facilitate these groups from the Center for Mind-Body Medicine, and I am pursuing Certification which means I will have a mentor who I process our group experience with. For more information describing these groups, check their website:
Why am I offering this?
I know that leading these groups is part of the way forward for me as I transition from conventional medicine work into what’s next. Sometimes I call that “Subtle Medicine”, “Mind-Body Medicine”, or “Wellness Entrepreneurship”. In the future, I would like to lead 5-10 day healing retreats for healthcare workers to address trauma and burnout. For this group, I am especially interested in recruiting potential collaborators for the future retreats that I host.
What To Expect During Group Visits
We will meet on Zoom in a virtual sacred circle. Please be in a private location where you can bring your full attention for our two-hour sessions. We will start with a simple relaxing breathing technique, and go over guidelines for our time together. There will be time for introductions, and “check-ins” for every group. Anything shared will be confidential.
Each week, we will practice one technique of self-exploration, and then share about our experience with the group. These techniques can provide powerful insights in a group setting even for individuals with vast experience with similar techniques. They are also accessible to beginners and thus adaptable for many different kinds of groups.
The group will end on time, and we will close with a gentle relaxation technique. My role is to manage time, lead activities, and support all participants for the best group experience. I am not serving as a therapist or doctor for anyone in the group. Instead we are trusting and allowing for insights and healing to occur spontaneously. Borrowing from Stella Eisenstein’s “Resonant Attention” technique, we are leaning in for miracles. As a facilitator, I will also participate in the exercises and share my experiences.
Price, Commitment
It is important to commit to attending all (most) sessions because spaces are limited. At this time, I am happy to receive financial gifts as an energy exchange, and the range of $300-$600 would be appropriate. Please let me know if this price point does not feel accessible, and we can discuss alternatives.
At this time, I am not planning to advertise or promote these groups to the public. You came to mind because I would like to work with you, or you were referred because our friend thought you might be a good fit. Please contact me by email (ddietle12@gmail.com) or phone (402-686-0259) to confirm your spot in the group. I would like to have a conversation on the phone with each participant before April 9th.
Thanks for reading, and I hope you can join me!
