Massage and Movement Workshops for Healing Trauma
Raven Playfaire will be giving an introductory talk
on her five-element workshops using her training in Polarity massage and with the Reclaiming
Collective as a model for the workshops. The script for the workshops was written in 1991 as a Business
Plan (or a sort of term paper) for her massage instructors at the
National Holistic Institute. Since then Raven has gained even more experience and revised
the plan to cover not just sexual abuse, but also any sort of traumatic experience, including natural disaster, war etc..

Through the course of the evening Raven will talk about her own childhood from three different points of view, spiritual,
experience and theatrical training. This is to give the audience an overview of what sorts of tools Raven draws from to conduct the workshops. After a break Raven will end the evening with some relaxation and theater games, and lastly open up the floor for questions.

Raven brings to this presentation a life time of theatrical experience starting with
Ballet lessons at age three and singing and theatrical classes straight up through
college. She has an up-bringing of spiritual practice in Subud and other forms of
meditation and religions. Raven brings a wide background into play for her four day
series, the fifth element is covered in a one-on-one bodywork session. The goal is
to hold space for people suffering from PTSD; to help Trauma survivors find tools that
work for them to heal themselves.



Ever so lightly,

Raven Playfaire.
