Finding Balance in the Shadow of Fear

This session introduces the “Candle Icon” program, designed specifically for individuals working through trauma. Kasia explores the profound impact of trauma — both personal and intergenerational — and highlights the role of epigenetics in shaping our responses to fear.

Recognising the limitations of traditional approaches, Kasia introduces the concept of rest as a counterbalance to fear. Drawing inspiration from the work of Cole Arthur Riley, the session underscores the importance of acknowledging fear without being consumed by it.

Participants are guided to cultivate self-compassion and understanding, viewing fear not as an enemy but as a protective mechanism that once kept them safe. By developing a sense of inner peace and learning to honour fear without allowing it to lead our lives, we open the way to healing from trauma and moving toward balance, resilience, and emotional freedom.
