Turning Point Healing

---

Located  at Verziere Sanctum, Turning Point is an Intensive program created to help people who have chosen to change their life around, transform, heal and grow. 

This 11 day Healing experiential consists of one to four participants together at a time and  has them working with five different therapists individually on transforming their most essential  issues and challenges, that are reoccurring in their life right now, into opportunities, and stepping stones towards a new way  of being.  As a participant you will have the opportunity to work on yourself daily in a one-on-one setting with a personalized schedule with each of the therapists , who will use tools such as Transpersonal Hypnosis, Past Life Regression, Astrology, Live Between Lives, Conscious Communication, Transformation game, Shadow alchemy, to support you to create the frame of assistance you need. ​ 

This program is based upon years of experience training therapists, and many decades of work with clients. The insights developed from these experiences has led us to combine several types of  methods in practice, and  tools along with daily debriefing among the therapists to gain a broader perspective  in order to create deeper, more profound ways of transformation and developing the next  active steps in one' s life journey. For years  our program before this came from  working with therapists and volunteers collaborating together for five to seven day periods. 

From this the individual methodologies evolved with the support and collaboration of the observing and participating therapists. 

As a participant you  will also have shared living quarters and a private bedroom, allowing you the possibility to build bonds with other people sharing a similar journey. The program also includes communal lunches with both other participants and therapists,  optional walks on the beach, the forest, or in town, meditation in the meditation hut or by the small creek on the grounds, and bi-daily professional Ayurvedic massages from the center we have been collaborating with for over a decade. 

Perspective can be changed by having a point of view shifted.  This is a powerful change instigator in working with client-centred therapies.  We have witnessed people activating change because they themselves have experienced insights into their way forward.  A man or woman can become self-directive and driven to actively seek for new congruent, harmonious way to live their life; inter-dependence through autonomy. This is one of the beliefs we hold in creating a sense of self worth since the founding of Verziere Sanctum School  the Turning Point Retreats  have unfolded organically and we have constantly focused on personal development in very small groups in order to provide people with the attention and support they require.

We have found that During Hour-based therapy, there is usually not enough time to deeply address the major themes at the level a person needs to go to.

Turning Point gives you the space to uncover what is quintessential to your life right now and gives you the oppurtunity to work on yourself as thoroughly as you wish to, with daily morning and afternoon sessions.

The Transformation game helps you to connect to your true Self while you are playing, to gain insight into what is truly going on in your life, to realize the things that are holding you back or are frustrating you and discover potential solutions that work for you.

It is a chance and an opportunity to gain some deeper knowing, some higher wisdom, some practical guidance to help you with your life and to understand where a particular block might be and how to overcome it. 

When played in a group setting it is highly cooperative and synergistic in nature, engendering both mutual insight and support;

Before the play begins each player honors the game with an intention which they wish to work on, as well as the offering of a skill or gift which they intend to contribute.  ​The facilitators and other players may help each person form their intention.

This board game brings into awareness another dimension of life. Each of the patterns on the board, represent a life path. The game starts where you are yet to incarnate into your human form. Holding true to your intention, you select some cards that go into your personal sub-conscious envelope. You are then born and go through the physical level, the emotional level, the intellectual level, the spiritual level; in our style of facilitating the game, we have added the re-birth level, the love level, and the energy level, all of which are optional and available as needed as per individual cases.

Depending on where the insights and awareness are, you might skim through levels, ​or spend more time on one particular level.​​ 

Cards help guide the process, there are six kinds: 

• The Angel cards: Higher energy and archetype wisdom. 

• Insights: Represent ideas and ways of moving forward. 

• Setbacks: A way of looking into a problem or situation. 

• Awareness: Tokens with single words which reflect back a player's ​growing consciousness and progress in the game 

• Universal Feedback: Cards which mirror the universe in relation to the individual player; there are many ways to respond to the universe! 

• Blessings: Tokens to help you move up faster, clear away pain.

The path of progress around the board is a beautifully shaped series of squares, each of which allows for scope and interpretation of one's intention.  

The game can be challenging and fun at the same time and the variety of possibilities and ways of responding are both gentle and voluntary. 

Activities that a player may choose to partake in     include but are not limited too, sharing, elaborating, exploring, being in nature, singing, dancing or simply doing nothing. 

The game then ends when you have gone through your unconscious envelope, and completed the levels that you have chosen to undertake.

​Some features:    

• You are encouraged to simply be yourself, and if you feel like it, help and support others to do the same.     - 

• To explore through the cards and general game play the meanings and relevance to your intention in the here and now. - 

• Release what you have been holding back, and continue forward in your next steps in life.
