Course: Healing Intergenerational Trauma

Somatic self-discovery and practice for nervous system resilience, ancestral integration, and belonging

The struggles we carry often reach back farther than our own lifetime. Patterns of fear, disconnection, and survival can live in our bodies as the echoes of past generations. This six-session self-discovery course, guided by Manuela Mischke-Reeds, provides a compassionate space to explore how intergenerational trauma manifests in your nervous system — and how you can begin to reshape it through embodied practice.

Together, we’ll co-create a safe space of deep inquiry and personal healing. You’ll learn gentle somatic tools to cultivate nervous system resilience, receive guided inquiries to recognize inherited patterns, and create space for new ways of being. We’ll explore how to meet shame and fear with compassion, honor the wisdom of your lineage, release ancestral patterns that no longer serve you, and cultivate a deeper sense of safety and belonging.

This is both a personal journey into how inherited patterns live in your body and a collective journey into community healing. Through guided practices and dyadic connection, you’ll experience the power of shared presence and embodied belonging — discovering what can end with you, and what can begin with you.

Course Description

Healing Intergenerational Trauma is a six-session journey into the heart of your body’s memory and resilience. The struggles you face today may be the lingering echoes of unresolved trauma — both your own and your ancestors’ — showing up in your nervous system and shaping how you live, love, and belong.

In this course, you’ll experience the power of somatic self-discovery to identify and release inherited trauma patterns, nurture nervous system resilience, and restore a sense of safety and connection. Each module weaves together short didactic presentations, guided somatic practices, reflective inquiries, and dyadic explorations. Together, we’ll co-create a safe space of deep inquiry and healing, where you’ll learn to meet fear, shame, and inherited beliefs with compassion, and begin to transform them into resilience, dignity, and presence.

This is not about erasing your past–it’s about integrating it. You’ll honor the gifts of your lineage while creating new neural pathways that support healing, wholeness, and legacy. This journey is both personal and collective: as you discover how ancestral patterns reside in your body, you’ll also engage in community healing, reclaiming a sense of belonging through shared presence and embodied connection.

By the end of this 6-session program, you will:

• Cultivate nervous system resilience through somatic tools that reduce stress and restore safety.
• Release inherited trauma patterns held in posture, breath, and emotional responses.
• Develop a compassionate relationship with your body as a guide for healing and transformation.
• Transform limiting beliefs and inherited narratives into embodied empowerment and dignity.
• Anchor new neural pathways that foster resilience, self-agency, and post-traumatic growth.
• Integrate healing into daily life while honoring your chosen legacy for future generations.
