All services and events hosted/facilitated by
Wild Haven Sanctuary are trauma sensitive
Organizers may request secular or Christ-centered practices
The facilitator remains on their mat during the entire practice.
Facilitator starts by explaining exactly what to expect from the instructor, the space, the session, and points out anything that may be out of the ordinary which may make sessions slightly longer than non-trauma sensitive sessions.
No hands on assists - unless specifically requested by the participant prior to the session.
There are no "have to's" - everything is 100% invitational.
Adaptations are offered at every stage and for every practice. (Participants are encouraged to express their concerns or pain points to receive 1:1 adaptations before sessions to increase positive experiences and outcomes during events.)
Strong focus on mind-body (somatic) connection.
Facilitator constantly prepares participants for what's coming in detail - which may seem repetitive or redundant at times but soothes the nervous system for those new to our events.
Once a session begins, no one else is allowed to enter or move around the space except to leave without returning to create a safe, brave space for all participants.
Participants are repeatedly reassured to listen and honor their bodies, to give themselves grace without judgement and condemnation, and that they have the freedom to change their mind and position at ANY point.
