A Cross-Cultural, Multi-Layered Approach to Healing with Mandy Burstein

Marriage
Written By Ember29 (Sophie)

It’s not uncommon to hear people talking about ‘unleashing the wild woman,’ but the next question is - then what? On this episode of the It’s All Me podcast, Gervase sits down with Mandy Burstein to discuss their journeys of finding safe and healthy ways to express generationally suppressed emotions, the healing experience of embracing the duality of death and grief, and what has been healing for them as mothers rewriting their own traumas and triggers while simultaneously being the blueprint for their children. Listen in for a behind the scenes look at the experiences provided at their previous retreat held in Sayulita, Mexico.

Mandy Burstein is a teacher of yoga, mindfulness and transformational breathwork who is passionate about  lovingly pushing people beyond their comfort zones to discover how strong, beautiful and powerful they truly are. Since 2010, she has led group classes, spiritual self-discovery workshops and week-long yoga retreats, and was a guest teacher at Gervase’s Sayulita retreat.
