For those attending the Rooted & Reaching Embodied Care (RREC) 4-day in-person, retreat-like training this is your “textbook”—a pre-requisite, online training to be completed before you attend. For those considering this training, this online “textbook” covers the material you’ll be exploring and experiencing at the in-person training. In this course you will learn about the concepts above, but at training you will EXPERIMENT with, EXPLORE and EXPERIENCE these concepts in your body and in community with other like-minded “playmates” and “praisemates” exploring the fully embodied, whole hearted life.
