Stopping Generational Trauma
What we stand for is freedom.
We believe that children are born free - free of conditioning, limiting beliefs and also the awareness of the ego. Like animals (and humans are simply another animal on this planet) children use their instincts and intuition as the mind hasn’t been cluttered with stagnant information yet. They are connected with the universe, nature and themselves and carry a wisdom inside of themselves that goes way beyond any knowledge a person could ever attain at school or University.
When we are able to see our role as a parent as the caretaker, guide and safe-keeper rather than a teacher, boss or even owner of the child, she can continue being free. To do this we must look within and heal our wounds instead of trying to control others.
Freeing oneself from beliefs, may they be conscious or subconscious, is the only way to be free of what we have learned and give children the possibility to live their own lives instead of being moulded and becoming a ‘mini-you’.
Therefore we support parents in their unlearning journey by offering our free online community, workshops and retreats at APTB and support groups that gather indoors and outdoors, sometimes even on a field trip to the beach, mountains or other beautiful places in Madeira.
How we’ll unlearn together
When visiting APTB you might want to join us and other parents in the garden to inquire your thoughts using The Work by Byron Katie, or explore your beliefs by meeting them with compassion and understanding in Gabor Mate style. We might walk you through Jiddu Krishnamurti’s way of observing your behaviour so that you can get to know who you think you are and let go of the conditioning you’ve received since you were inside your mother’s womb. Nurturing your inner child is the most efficient way to reach a state of wholeness that will give you the natural ability to love your children unconditionally and stop generational trauma.
You can always access our online community to start before you come to APTB or after you’ve left.
How we’ll recharge together
Our ancestors used to spent most of their time outdoors in nature and sunlight, doing manual labour and eating and drinking real food instead of processed ‘things‘. At APTB we give you the opportunity to do exactly this: go for hikes in nature, use your body and mind to create, walk barefoot In grass, take ice baths, take time off screens and blue light, do yoga, meditations and many more activities that will boost your energy - If and when you want to.
