We are all swimming in a sea of Trauma and for the most part it is invisible and at the heart of most of humanity's suffering. These events are designed to create a space for trauma awareness, integration and healing through awareness-based practices such as meditation, contemplation, prayer and most of all, creating a safe space to feel felt, seen and heard in a supportive group field.
If we didn't get the nurturing we needed as a child our very intelligent and protective nervous system adapted by suppressing overwhelming emotions, experiences and situations. These unintegrated experiences from the past become frozen in our bodies, diminishing our vital energy and ability to respond to difficult situations. This work will allow us to move from habitual reaction to emergent response-ability when confronted with life's challenges.
We begin our circle with a grounding, centering and embodiment meditation designed to create more inner spaciousness and outer awareness so that we can meet, greet and integrate personal, familial, collective and ancestral trauma in a safe and supportive space. From that grounded place we will open the circle as an exploration into the practices, challenges and opportunities for trauma release, integration and post traumatic healing.
Michael Stone has been teaching and leading groups and transformational programs for over 50 years. All are welcome. This is a donation-based event.

Trauma Circle Testimonials:
Michael Stone is a man of great authenticity and a great heart filled with compassion and empathy for all. The Way of the Mystic course has made a huge difference in my life. Michael's guidance and support has opened up a new way of seeing the world and a new way of being. Michael's greatest strengths I saw was how he managed to create the space so that not only was he connected with every one of his students but we all also felt part of a new community. When the course was over I found myself missing that space of connection with people from far away places on the earth. I would recommend any and all to take courses with the Well of Light.

I have been a part of Michael’s circle - deeply involved in leading business as well as senior elements of politics. I found myself in conflict, my mind never let me go and my soul was constantly attempting to emerge. I found myself not understanding the friction that existed between them. I was looking for a guide/translator to provide the piece I needed to understand the 2 elements that were me. Michael in his gentle and yet erudite and intelligent guidance has, over months, opened doors for me. I now realize that the spiritual part of me, that seeks to not be living in a solo world, understands we all are part of a greater being. I know living in the present and dealing with collective trauma, and to heal our species and planet is achieved through a discovery of me: what's inside of me; creating space inside of me. Discovering my interiority. Discovering the bits of history (ancestors or my early years) that need to be loved and experienced and acknowledged so that there is more room in me to share now.
Michael is a wise, sensitive and practical soul. Through his life long work he has learned how to deal with the vagaries of multiple personalities, competitive ego’s and damaged beings. He innately picks up on hurt and wounds, reaches out and draws out the pain allowing healing and onward movement. Michael teaches from a place of profound understanding and his desire to help, to guide and to lead his students towards a place of light is manifest throughout his courses.
I have discovered much by listening to Michael, by watching his guidance, by pondering on his messages. I have watched him deal with his own pain and still manage to bring light to others as he suffers. He is quick to smile, always ready to forgive. He is patient but also demanding, he will focus on an issue and gently guide an individual to their solution.
Michael Stone is an empathetic Shaman, a Spiritual Guide, a Man of Light. I look forward to being taught by him again, very soon.

This class has allowed me to find a safe space to feel unwanted feelings and process them with others who are compassionate and understand and accept me as I am.
Mike Z, Retired Environmental Scientist
I have gotten help with group therapy beyond what I had expected. This came at a horrific time in my life. Thank you so much as I can believe and breathe so much better.

In this group, I’ve found a safe, loving circle where I can muck about in old hurts and explore how they affect me. Anything is safe to talk about and is received with love.

By attending this class I am able to get time for myself and care for myself by bringing awareness to my hurt and supressions. I have been able to get in touch with my parents and their lives and meet like-minded people.

I’ve healed so many wounds that, in retrospect, have affected me for my whole life. I’ve also found a wonderful group of people I feel close with and I am happy to have made many new friends.
Julian R., Engineer and experiencer of life
Michael Does a great job of creating a safe container. There is an alchemy that takes place in his groups, that promotes healing, growth, and greater self-awareness. I am also learning a lot from Michael about how to work somatically with my clients, and my creativity has been reignited from a three-year hiatus.

I have been getting more comfortable and able to feel the feelings and sensations arising in my body, especially when interacting with others. I have been growing in my capacity to stay with myself and my experience when with others.
Richard C. MA
Michael Stone's Trauma Circle group has allowed me to open up to others and to hear others in deep and profound ways. I didn't know how much healing was possible by being able to share in a safe and supported space. I have connected the dots and released stress and trauma from my body, mind, and spirit. Thank you, Michael!
Yvonne R., NP
Michael is an extremely skilled facilitator and creates a safe container for healing to occur. His group has enabled me to change the way that I meet myself and my emotional landscape, from one of shame/rejection to one of acceptance of myself and others. I have also bonded with other members of the group and feel held and safe in community with like-minded others who are interested in deep internal work.

I have received a lot of value both directly and indirectly through my participation in Michael Stone's Tuesday night group. It was very helpful when Michael was working with me directly. To my surprise, I also received a lot through tracking my internal experience when Michael was working directly with another participant. Traveling along in either case helped me come more into my experience, be more vulnerable and to see others and be seen myself.

I’ve been part of one of Michael’s Trauma circles for about 4 months and it’s been an entirely singular experience. The compassion and support of the group is like a family I never had. The healing power is tremendous. The group brings such light to darkness.
