In this series of 4 classes, we will explore Emily Waymire’s map of the self at a basic level. The approach is anchored in a somatic approach. It disentangles the trauma field from a generative field of growth and movement. Each of these fields are made up of other specific elements of the self each anchored in its own larger field. The map makes it possible to step out of the trauma field into the generative field using a systems constellation approach.
The experiential class offers a supportive Alchemical Alignment container for beginners and experienced practitioners alike to deepen their understanding of somatic trauma and its release using an energetic systems approach. Demonstrations and small group experiences will be the main teaching methods.
Some of the topics covered are:
Sensing and clearing your personal field
Using a map to disentangle trauma fields
Experiencing the difference between a trauma field and a generative field
Using systems constellation tool to move between fields
Exploring experientially the self in terms of a core wound, core trauma strategies, core self, core essence and the witness.
Putting each of the pieces together as a whole and experiencing the healing movement between them and the trauma fields.
This course could be taken as a stand-alone or works well as an adjunct to Alchemical Alignment courses. It will offer another deeper view of trauma through the view of a disentangled self.
Classes are recorded, participants will receive limited time access to recordings.
From Paulette
"I was inspired to teach this class because of the profound personal experiences of complex trauma release I experienced for myself and with clients when using this map.”
Systems constellation techniques can help clients represent and disentangle trauma. Trauma can be viewed in smaller doable pieces outside of the clients inner trauma storm. To step outside the trauma and see the pieces from an adult core self or the witness, offers a way to have some relief from the emotional pain and a new view on its causes.

Low Income Tuition
$250 USD upfront
*$90 USD X 3 months
The Low Income Tuition is discounted. Consider if this price is for you if paying standard tuition would be significant or stressful because you have difficulty accessing resources and meeting basic needs takes up most of your budget. This is especially for people who are of the global majority (POC), LGBTQIA+, working class, disabled, neurodivergent, immigrants, or retired senior adults.
Standard Tuition
$350USD upfront
*$120 USD X 3 months
The Standard Tuition is the actual cost of the course. Consider this price if you are able to meet your basic needs and have little-to-no expendable income. Paying for this class may qualify as a sacrifice but it would not create hardship.
Redistribution Tuition
$500 USD upfront
*$ 170 USD x 3 months
The Redistribution Tuition allows you to help cover the tuition cost of your peers who have less. Consider if this price is for you if you are comfortably able to meet all of your basic needs and have expendable income. This is especially for property-owners/high-end renters, white, cis, able-bodied, settler, university educated people, or if you have investments / a retirement-fund.
