Freedom to Fly

Freedom to Fly is an experiential group which integrates psychodrama, somatic therapy, art therapy, and breathwork within a culturally responsive framework that includes tikanga Māori.

Held in West Auckland, this residential workshop offers an immersive, regulated and restorative environment in which you can engage in deeper trauma processing and consolidate progress you have made. The community aspect of this group creates opportunities for attachment repair, including repeated practice of new regulation and relational skills.

In this group you can work toward:
• Building strengths and restoring hope
• Developing a healthy self-concept
• Decreasing dissociation
• Increasing your ability to experience a range of emotions
• Reducing a sense of isolation and breaking down secrecy
• Alleviating shame and guilt
• Developing trusting relationships
• Becoming a potent creator in your own life
