The Forrest Method® has its roots in Movement with awareness, Thetahealing, unified therapy, breathwork and life changing nutrition. The Forrest Method draws on science to help our students experience personal growth, emotional breakthroughs and spiritual development. Modern science is just catching up to the ancient wisdom of the mind-body connection and the effect that mental patterns (e.g., stress, past traumas ) can have on the body through biochemical pathways. We can release psychological trauma by addressing chronic tension patterns and holdings in the body. The brain shuts down non-essential functions and focuses all its efforts on pure survival. Usually, after the stressor is over, the brain can once again continue all other functions. However, some people may get stuck in survival mode. In our Forrest Method class, what we are trying to do is re-establish the connection that is lost between the brain and the body through different techniques. This unique class of self exploration teaches our students how to go from surviving to thriving. Our Classes offer practices that could encourage a meaningful life. A quest for knowing oneself more fully. A coming back home to oneself.
