Mission Statement
To provide a reciprocal recovery methodology, along with tools for healing and empowering individuals, communities, and nations through relationship to Mother Earth and the practice and principles of Somatic Archaeology©.
What is Somatic Archaeology©?
Somatic Archaeology© is fundamentally a historical trauma recovery modality. It was developed by Dr. Ruby Gibson in 1995 as a method to help her clients recover from traumatic events. She soon realized that many of her clients were not only suffering from traumas they had personally endured, but they were also suffering from traumas they had inherited, stemming as far back as seven generations.
Dr. Gibson has dedicated her life to understanding this phenomenon while developing tools and methods for reconciling these traumatic cycles. The terminology “somatic” means of the body, and “archaeology” means to excavate. The practice of Somatic Archaeology© is the process of connecting with deep memories stored in the body and bringing them to the surface for reconciliation. This effectively frees the person from the shackles of historical and generational trauma, as well as lightening the load for the next seven generations.

What is Generational Trauma?
Historical Trauma is a broadly applied term that includes any type of historical event that has had a traumatizing effect on your direct ancestors. A couple good examples of this would be the attempted genocide our Native American populations, or the kidnapping and enslavement of our African American populations. The effects of these historical events are still playing themselves out today in their descendants.
Generational Trauma is a specific term that includes any type of traumatic event that your recent, direct lineage has experienced, but has not completely resolved. And as a result, the unresolved inheritance can manifest as a variety of psychological, physical and spiritual health issues in present day generations.
