The Brooklyn Bay Theater
Supporting people who want their most important relationships to be more nourishing. Helping you re-wire the patterns that are limiting your life.
Tickets available for the November 7 & 8 showing of The Eternally Present Past: Our patterns of relating and the unconscious expectations of what will or won’t happen in our lives are woven into our brains, bodies and hearts from the very earliest part of our lives. We learn them implicitly from our families and our culture. They are so basic to our way of viewing the world that we are mostly unaware of them and how strongly they affect our lives now.
When you can access your most basic relational patterns in an embodied way and get support to loosen their hold on your life, new neural pathways are literally created in your mind and body. And these old patterns no longer have the power to run your life.
