Speakers:
Freedom from Mind Control – Neil
Brick
Subliminal methods and mind control influence our lives in all areas.
Social and cultural forms of mind control keep us from growing as human
beings. These forms of control make it difficult for us to grow and learn
as survivors. They make it more difficult to work through cult control
programming to free our minds and our lives. Recovery techniques will be
discussed that can help survivors and others break through their mind control
programs and influences.
Neil Brick is a survivor of ritual abuse
and mind control. His work continues to educate the public about child abuse,
trauma and ritual abuse crimes. His child abuse and ritual abuse newsletter
S.M.A.R.T. has been published for over 20 years.

How to
Decrease Internal System In-Fighting and Increase Respect for The Gifts of All
Internal Parts – Eileen Aveni
This presentation will focus on
understanding the internal systems that may be present in a survivor, and how to
work with them to gradually enable them to work together for true safety and
healing. Often internal parts are at odds with each other (such as higher
level alters, reporter alters, persecutor/protector alters, and other internal
alters) because they are used to ‘doing their jobs” and following orders.
But they are really allies in the system and can be helped to learn better and
more effective ways to keep everyone in the system safe and help heal the
system. The focus will be on how to communicate with parts who might seem
particularly difficult to work with, learn to recognize their true gifts to the
internal system, and how to develop a community of mutual
respect.
Eileen Aveni, LMSW, LCSW, ACSW, BCD is a psychotherapist
with 30+ years in medical and psychiatric settings working alongside other DID,
Ritual Abuse, & Mind Control treatment specialists and law enforcement
involved in these cases.
Visual Art
and Writing Workshops – Cynthia Mochowski and Pia Moorland
Cynthia and
Pia have used various art forms as part of their healing and prioritize safety
and supportive environments. This weekend, they will offer two workshops – one
visual art and one writing – so you may see the value in the different
forms.
Mindfulness: Strive to Be in the Present –
Manjot Singh Khalsa
Mindfulness is the ability to be fully present, aware of
where we are and what is going on around us and inside of us and not being
overly reactive or overwhelmed by it. Mindfulness is more readily
available to us when we practice it regularly. This workshop will provide
participants with the opportunity to practice mindfulness by engaging in
activities/mindful exercises and the chance to reflect on and understand what
mindfulness is all about.
Be Here Now – Manjot Singh
Khalsa
Manjot Singh Khalsa is the creator of a Kundalini Yoga and Meditation
curriculum, “Be Here Now: Yoga, Meditation & Mantra for Trauma
Survivors”. In today’s experiential workshop, participants will have the
opportunity to stretch, breathe, strengthen and rest in a safe space. No
previous yoga experience necessary. Participants will choose to sit in a chair
or on the floor during this workshop.
Manjot Singh Khalsa is a
Masters Level, Licensed Clinical Independent Social Worker. He has been in
private practice since 1997. He has an eclectic practice for those clients who
are interested in holistic healing practice. He has cultural competency in
working with individuals and families of varied backgrounds.
