For those of us who continue to fight an inner battle with the past, there is another way to hold the scar.
You have told the story. You have done the work. Maybe you have even forgiven. And still it shows up in how you move through your days, shaping your choices from somewhere underneath.
Scar Wars is the name for this persistent inner battle we have with our traumas. When a wound persists, it can feel like the dark side is winning.
This is when it is time to create a different relationship with it.
In this hour, you will choose one thing. Just one. Together we bring intention to it and shift your orientation to how that wounding lives in you, so it no longer holds the same power over you. You keep the scar. What changes is how it is held, and where it once held you back, it can become a place of power.
We won't pick the deepest wound to work with. We'll pick something you can work with easily in an hour. Then you'll have the template and can try it on your own, or with a trauma-informed therapist or other support groups. This class is about sharing a tool you can use in addition to everything else you're working with.
A message from Curate Shiloh Sophia · 4 minutes
We are cosmic beings having an earthy experience. When we connect with Intentional Creativity®, we connect with the ancient quality coded in our stardust bones.
Shift the state you are working from.
Let the body take part in the change.
Voice and vibration to loosen what is held.
Give the wounding a way to be seen.
Words that carry what is ready to change.
See how you think about what happened, on paper.
We move through four stages, attending to how the wounding is held in each.
When the hour is finished, you leave with a new orientation to how that persistent wounding has lived in you and how it has been shaping your choices, and a way to reorient yourself around it as a place of power.
