Recruiting particpants for a

doctoral research study in

Denver, Colorado

January 2026

Have you experienced deep healing after complex life challenges?

I'd like to hear your story.

I'm inviting adults (18+) who feel they’ve made meaningful progress in their healing journey after experiencing complex trauma to participate in a creative and reflective exploration.

What’s Involved:

This project examines how healing can facilitate people's reconnection with their inner strength, energy, and sense of aliveness. All stories will be held with care, and your privacy will be protected throughout.

Three small group gatherings
Guided imagery and somatic-based activities
Creative expression, including journaling, drawing, and sharing your process of healing
Two in-person days (6 hours each day) over a weekend in Denver, CO, and one meeting via Zoom to follow up

While we are unable to offer financial compensation at this time, your participation is deeply valued. Your contribution may play a vital role in advancing how treatment providers support others on their path to healing.

You may value participating in this study if you:

Like creative, embodied practices
Feel called to reflect on your healing journey
Want to help others by contributing to a growing body of knowledge on trauma recovery
