Compassionate Awareness & Mindfulness for People with Pain (C.A.M.P.)
8 Tuesday evenings online with Elise Brenner and Deborah Rogers
|
|
The lived experience of pain is felt on multiple levels: physical, mental-emotional, social, economic, and spiritual. In this 8-week online program, we explore Mindfulness, Compassion, and Somatic practices to fuel our own inner strengths, capacities, and possibilities. The gentle mind-body-spirit skills we develop support us in balancing our nervous system and building inner resources to find calm in the storm of living with chronic pain.
In the C.A.M.P. program we create a safe community in which we feel empowered to share the realities of experiencing an invisible illness. The C.A.M.P. community setting is a salve for the fear and distress we experience living with pain. Facilitators: Elise M. Brenner, PhD, and Deborah A. Rogers, OTR/L, CPT, RM, RYT
Dates: Tuesdays, February 27–April 16 Time: 6:00-7:45 pm, EST Cost: $199 Get full details on Deborah's website: HolisticHealingwithDeborah.com |
What participants are saying
“Sooooo good! This class is full of so much useful information about pain and strategies to help us both manage and alleviate our pain experience. The leaders are compassionate and caring and have a great deal to offer. So very worthwhile.” (J) “I enjoyed being part of this wonderful group and it was always a pleasure to share my experiences and listen to others, as I learned a lot from everybody. Even though we experience pain differently, we all learned to use the tools to make pain work together with us and not see pain as our enemy, as something to be afraid of.” (D.) “I really enjoyed this. I am also doing a MBSR course and I felt this was much more accessible. Time limit was the perfect amount; presentation of experiences are abundant; discussions being optional meant I felt more safety with the group and engagement." |
Community Offerings
Reiki is a practice to cultivate a still mind, from which one's actions derive.

Meditation/Practice Online

What is Reiki practice? A Japanese mind-body-spirit healing and meditation practice that supports wellness, mindfulness, resilience, and recovery capacity. Reiki practice allows us to attune to our natural impulse toward wholeness.
Why Engage with Reiki practice?
The capacity to usher in strengthened well-being, mindfulness, compassion, and peace already exists within every one of us. Sometimes it can be difficult to access that capacity without support due to the turmoil of life. Reiki practice facilitates re-claiming our inner resources so we can move forward with courage, composure, more ease, and even a sense of the sacred in life. With Reiki practice, we can cultivate a still and quieter mind-body, touching into our own wisdom that points us in the direction of a more whole life.
What is Mindfulness practice?
The practice of bringing awareness to our present moment experiences without judging or fixing them.
Why Engage with Mindfulness Practice?
We get thrown off center in our lives. We find ourselves constantly doing battle with whatever is happening. Mindfulness assists us in practicing authentic, warm presence so we can bring that presence to all aspect of our lives through our words, actions, and relationships.
Why Reiki AND Mindfulness Practice?
The twin practices of mindfulness and Reiki can best be viewed as foundational capacities. Therefore, they can have multiple applications, we might say. Everything from cultivating compassion and kindness, to developing patience, to simply getting along with others, to emotional regulation, to opening to the field of our interconnections on this planet.

What Our Clients Are SayingAbout Reiki Healing Sessions
"I have started an email a number of times. In short, I believe the Reiki changed my life. I am again productive and engaged, even eating healthier and walking a bit as time allows. Boxes are getting unpacked. The business of life is getting done. I would like to come back. Thank you so much!" - Reiki Client
"I found my hour with you to be one of serenity in a chaotic world. My biggest issue prior to our session was feeling low-energy and off-balance coming off of my bout with Lyme disease. I have felt a renewed vigor and spring in my step since our session. My thoughts are that our hour together brought final closure to that chapter, and I'd definitely consider looking to Reiki in the future to complement my mindfulness practice." - Reiki Client "It is with deep appreciation and gratitude that I have experienced such kindness, openness, and generosity. I feel blessed. Thank you." - Community Reiki Clinic Guest About Reiki Training and Continuing Education"I want to thank you for an incredible Reiki class. Your honesty and passion are evident in all that you do and greatly enhanced my learning. I have been practicing self-Reiki and reflecting on it for the last few days and am excited to begin putting Reiki into practice with my patients." - Nurse and Reiki Student
“I loved your teaching methods, and how you structured the day—your stories of personal experiences, your honest beliefs, your journey, your knowledge...how you shared everything was just perfect. I learned a lot. I felt centered. Grounded. Supported. It was a truly incredible experience and one that I will cherish forever. In fact, the last two mornings I have woken up reciting the Reiki precepts — what an incredible way to welcome a new day!! I will keep in touch and truly appreciate your mentorship and support. You've added bright colors to my Reiki landscape and for that I am grateful.” - Participant in a Continuing Education Workshop
"Thank you for a wonderful experience last night. It has deepened my experience of the precepts which will be in my daily consciousness. I look forward to our future sessions. Last night's experience helped my sister-in-law with some current family worries in a more settled way." - Participant in a Reiki Continuing Education Workshop
