Gestalt Therapy Theory

Gestalt Therapy Theory is an Awareness practice exploring as “moment to moment / daily experiment”.

Contemporary Applied Shamanism™

When Contemporary Applied Shamanism™ is integrated with Gestalt Therapy Theory, the “self-regulating organism” becomes the “Soul-regulating organism”

Embodied Enlightenment™

Embodied Enlightenment helps us understand ourselves as both physical and spiritual beings.

We believe the cultivation of the heartbeat is central for awareness that deepens a life infused by love, light, peace and beauty.

With the drum, Roberta believes that developing a deeper awareness of the body, particularly the heartbeat, can help us become more present, grounded, and connected to ourselves and others.

Within her Embodied Enlightenment™ practice, the infinity symbol represents the ongoing movement between familiar patterns that may no longer serve us, creating emerging ways of thinking, feeling, and responding that support our growth and healing. Rather than rejecting the former in favor of the latter, this practice teaches us to recognize and hold both experiences with awareness.

When we notice these different states as they arise in the body, we can become less reactive and more intentional, strengthening healthier patterns over time and building greater capacity for connection, resilience, and meaningful change.
