PREPARING
COR Workshops are deep, transformational experiences that aim to offer all who attend a space to meet and process difficult life experiences to gain more agency, wisdom, and inner peace. In short, this isn’t light work. In many ways COR events follow the traditional arc of a rite of passage or initiation, and are to be held similarly as such.
In support of a beneficial, positive, and safe experience, it is imperative that all who attend a COR workshop experience abide by several self-care, preparation and integration practices in the week before and after the event.
- Get sufficient sleep and do your best to plan restful days
- Eat healthy, nourishing foods
- Practice self-care in whatever ways best support you such as walks in nature, exercise, taking nourishing baths or showers, meditation/prayer, and spacious time at home
- Receive emotional/spiritual support as needed from a coach, therapist or spiritual director
- Limit or avoid high intensity media or deeply disturbing or upsetting environments
- Abstain from consciousness altering experiences including but not limited to taking recreational drugs, alcohol to the point of inebriation, medicine journeys or other intense expansive experiences.
- Begin reducing your most prominent addictive behaviors.
If you have any questions about best practices in preparation or integration for any COR workshop, training or event, please contact The Aerie Retreat Client Care.
