November 16-17, 2019
Transforming the Caregiver Burden (compathy) with Integrative Therapies
16 Hour Workshop for Caregivers
Dr. Lyn Prashant FT, CMT, Somatic Thanatologist and Degriefing® Founder, Counseling & Educational Director
Grief related ailments remain unrecognized in traditional healthcare. Our vehicle for life is a mind that has a body and a body that has a mind.
Pragmatically applicable, this audio/visual, group/partner/individual format is designed to provide participants with information, skills and resources to effectively work with somatic grief, didactically and experientially demonstrate and normalize physical grief, while locating and using accumulated grief as fuel for transformation with integrative therapies.
Know thyself to better serve others, author Stephen Levine states: "We can only be available for another's grief to the extent we know our own."
Compathy occurs when one person observes another person suffering a disease or injury and experiences in one’s physical body a similar or related distress (Morse & Mitcham, 1997). Caregiving today is taking a toll on both professional and family caregivers.
Yoga as well as other assorted therapeutic modalities can be instrumental in addressing and transforming the symptoms of grief: mind, body and spirit.
Learning Objective 1 Discuss valuable professional skills needed to work directly with and transform the somatic aspects of grief.
Learning Objective 2 Recognize ways to identify accumulated grief stored in the body as fuel for our transformation to prevent professional and personal bereavement overload and empathy fatigue.
Learning Objective 3 Utilize the Degriefer's Toolbox model for assessing and selecting appropriate transformative integrative therapies to meet client’s specific needs.
Reference:
Degriefing Caregiver Burden; chapter published in Techniques in Grief Therapy:Creative Practices for Counseling the Bereaved; edited by Robert. A. Neimeyer, 2012, Routledge, NY
Lyn Prashant will alternate didactic with experiential work, presenting skillful tools for all levels of physical condition, for releasing and transforming the accumulated grief stored in our bodies.
Dr. Prashant has keynoted at the Mayo Clinic, California Pacific Medical Center, U. of Arizona and presents her work at ADEC's (Association of Death Education and Counseling) international conferences. Lyn teaches The Somatic Aspects of Grief as part of a respected professional teaching program at the University of California Berkeley.

Degriefing in Action:
Please consider joining us for the Grief Relief Retreat/Safari September 7-14, 2020. Space limited-get in touch now for this life altering profound week walking with white lions and a visiting Kruger National Park.
Come and experience total tranquillity and true African hospitality at Lion Tree Top Lodge and meet our white lions. Lion Tree Top Lodge is situated in a private nature reserve in the heart of the game rich area, bordering the Kruger National Park’s western boundary in Limpopo.
We are a small exclusive lodge offering a unique African experience. We have four intimate and private, luxury treetop tents with sunken or corner baths, inside and outside showers, large decks, fans and bar fridges. All accommodation offers a choice of king or twin beds with canopy-style mosquito nets. There are also cosy sitting areas with tea and coffee stations in all our tents.
Enjoy our informal relaxed atmosphere. Start the day with coffee and freshly baked rusks followed by a morning walk with our lions. After a sumptuous breakfast, simply laze around the pool, all the while keeping an eye on the waterhole. The afternoon bush walk with the lions will leave you thirsty and ready for sundowners at our beautiful little bar under the giant Huilboerboon. Dinner will be served in the boma or on the lodge verandah.
Hello! We have raised white lion cubs that are now fully-grown and part of the Lion Tree Top Lodge family. The African Lion has become vulnerable. Following the discovery of the decline of the lion population, several coordinated efforts involving lion conservation have been organised in an attempt to stem the decline. We are proud to be part of this effort. Experience the thrill of walking with our white lions! Other activities offered in our reserve include game drives, bush walks, day trips to the Kruger National Park in open vehicles and boat rides on the Blyde dam where you get to see our famous canyon from the inside. The Moholoholo animal rehabilitation centre is a must see as is the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre. The Panorama Route is an easy drive from Lion Tree Top Lodge as is the Kruger National Park.
The owners of Lion Tree Top Lodge have been in the hospitality industry since 1995 and ensure personal attention and care at all times.
