Living with chronic pain or illness can feel like being trapped in a story you never chose. It shapes your days, your choices, even your sense of self. But there is another way forward.

This 10-week immersive program is designed to help you shift your relationship with pain, regulate your nervous system, and reconnect with the wisdom of your body. Rather than striving to “fix” or eliminate symptoms, we focus on cultivating new patterns of resilience, joy, and creative possibility—so you can live more fully, even with pain.

What to Expect

Each 90-minute weekly session includes:

• Gentle movement or somatic exploration (adaptable for all bodies)

• Guided hypnosis and subconscious healing practices

• Breathwork, body sensing, and nervous system regulation tools

• Creative reflection through journaling, imagery, or ritual

• Group discussion and compassionate witnessing

You’ll also receive integration practices between sessions to help anchor what you learn.

Who This Is For

This program is for people living with chronic pain, fatigue, or long-term illness who want more than coping. If you’re longing for new strategies, supportive community, and practical tools rooted in science and soul, you’ll find them here.

Outcomes You Can Expect

By the end of the program, participants will be supported to:

• Reduce fear and reactivity around pain

• Learn practical nervous system regulation tools

• Shift subconscious beliefs and emotional loops that sustain pain

• Reframe their relationship with illness through parts work & narrative healing

• Reclaim joy, agency, and creative resilience
