Participant Guidelines & Policy

Welcome to EMBODY · RAÍZ. 

​

These guidelines exist to hold safety, trust, and depth for you and the group.


They are not rules to limit you, they are boundaries that allow healing, presence, and community.

​

By enrolling, you agree to honor these policies for the well-being of yourself and the circle.

1 

Nature of the Program

EMBODY · RAÍZ is a 6-month closed group therapy process integrating somatic therapy, trauma-informed care, CBT, Gestalt Therapy, and hypnotherapy principles.

​

This program is designed for participants to:

  • Connect with the body as a source of wisdom

  • Understand and transform patterns of addiction or compulsion

  • Regulate the nervous system

  • Heal in community, without rush or judgment
     

This is not a workshop, coaching program, or casual emotional circle. Nothing is forced, the body sets the pace.

Who This Space Is For

This program is intended for adults (18+) who:

  • Feel ready to engage in gentle, responsible therapeutic work

  • Can honor their own limits and the container of the group

  • Are committed to personal reflection and presence
     

EMBODY · RAÍZ does not replace individual therapy, psychiatric care, or medical treatment. Participants are encouraged to seek additional care if needed.
