UNFURL
Hamakua Coast Trauma-Informed Group Therapy
A six-week group therapy experience for coming home to your body.
Unfurl is a small eco-somatic therapy group that meets outdoors on the Hāmākua Coast. Over six weeks, we use practical, body-based tools — nervous system regulation, DBT skills, and breathwork, in nature, — to help you feel calmer, steadier, and more at home in yourself.
Unfurl is a 6-week journey of re-membering.
What Is Eco-Somatic Therapy?
Unfurl is group therapy — not a workshop, class, or retreat. It's facilitated by a therapist, every member joins with their own goals, and you'll complete a private intake before we begin. What makes it different is how we work: outdoors, in a small circle, using your body and nervous system as the way in. Healing happens in relationship, so we do it together. Facilitated by Marisa Youngblood- MSW candidate and yoga therapist, trained in DBT — under the clinical supervision of Joshua Anthony, LCSW.
What We Actually Do
-Re-calibrate the Nervous System
-Build coping skills that last
-Build resilience
-Settle within the body, in nature.
This 6-Week Journey
Week 1
Settling your nervous system and learning what safety actually feels like in your body.
Week 2
Letting feelings move through in small, manageable doses, so they don't pile up.
Week 3
Using your breath as a direct, reliable tool to calm yourself, and learning to read your body's signals.
Week 4
Reconnecting with your energy and sense of agency, and practicing healthy boundaries.
Week 5
Learning to slow down and let your system stabilize, supported by the group.
Week 6
Pulling it together, building a personal practice to take home, and closing.

Your JotForm Embed Goes Here
Trauma is anything that happens too much, too fast, or for too long. The nervous system doesn't have the resources to process it, integrate it, or recover from it.
Unfurl creates that resource. In the earth. In the group. In your own body, remembered.
