Kammer:
Topics:
– Understand the mythic stage of consciousness development.
– Share your childhood experiences at the mythic stage of development.
– See what capacities you could develop to integrate living with an open heart and a vital sexuality.
– Learn why and how the love and sexuality adaptive survival styles develop in our bodies during childhood when there are adverse childhood experiences and caregiver failures.
– Explore why developmental childhood trauma disconnects us from our capacity to integrate an open heart with a vital sexuality.
– Recognize possible shame-based identifications and pride-based counter-identifications around love and sexuality.
– Begin to heal your possible love and sexuality survival style to develop the capacity to set live with an open heart and a vital sexuality.

NARMÂ is the perfect complement to Martin’s work, as it supports us in healing past complex developmental trauma that often prevents us from co-creating healthy Integral Love Relationships.
NARM®, the “NeuroAffective Relational Method” for Healing Developmental Trauma is the perfect complement for the Integral (Relationship) Model.
Key aspects of NARM include:
1. Mindfulness-based approach: Emphasizes being present and aware of one’s thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations.
2. Relational focus: Recognizes the importance of interpersonal relationships in healing trauma.
3. Integration of body and mind: Addresses both the psychological and physiological aspects of trauma.
4. Developmentally-oriented: Explores how early childhood experiences can impact adult functioning.
Key aspects of the Integral Relationship Model include:
1. Learning all relationship skills available to us today.
2. Healing our relationship wounds in relationships.
3. Growing in consciousness and co-creating with an equal partner along the seven chakras.
4. Awakening to our true nature and full human potential to make the world a better place.
NARM is the perfect complement for Martin’s work, as it supports us in healing past complex developmental trauma that often prevents us from co-creating healthy Integral Love Relationships.
NARM has five organizing developmental themes that Martin already integrated into his new book Integral Relationship Practice:
1. Connection:Â We feel that we belong in the world. We are in touch with our body and our emotions and capable of consistent connection with others.
2. Attunement:Â Our ability to know what we need and to recognize, reach out for, and take in the abundance that life offers.
3. Trust:Â We have an inherent trust in ourselves and others. We feel safe enough to allow a healthy interdependence with others.
4. Autonomy:Â We are able to say no and set limits with others. We speak our mind without guilt or fear.
5. Love-Sexuality:Â Our heart is open and we are able to integrate a loving relationship with a vital sexuality.
To the degree that these five basic needs are met, we experience harmony in our love relationships.
To the degree that these basic needs are not met, we develop shame and pride based survival styles to try to manage the disconnection and dysregulation.
We will explore how these five pride and shame based survival styles and the NARM Healing cycle fit into the 14 Essential Dimensions of the Integral Relationship Model in our 12 practice events from Sunday August 18. to November 3. 2024.
