THE WAY BACK TO BEING: A TRANSFORMATIVE EMDR WORKSHOP
With Tom Askman & Richard Hite
Reawaken. Reprocess. Return to Your BEing.
Join us for a powerful, immersive workshop that combines the inner‑wisdom teachings from The Way Back to BEing with the deeply restorative effects of EMDR—guided by two master practitioners, Tom Askman and Richard Hite.
This unique experience helps you gently release long‑held patterns, quiet the noise of expectation, and reconnect with the intuitive, grounded sense of self you were born with.
ABOUT THE WORKSHOP
This workshop unites two complementary pathways to inner restoration:
The Way Back to BEing — Tom Askman’s Approach
Artist, educator, and seeker Tom Askman draws from six decades of teaching and personal transformation to guide participants toward a more heart‑centered, authentic way of living. His work illuminates how societal, cultural, and ego‑driven conditioning disconnect us from our deeper nature—and how reconnecting to that inner wisdom becomes a path to clarity, joy, and meaning.
EMDR for Emotional Reprocessing — Richard Hite’s Expertise
A pioneering practitioner, Richard Hite was certified in EMDR in 1991 and has taught thousands of people across the U.S. how to use bilateral stimulation to release stress and trauma. He integrates EMDR with somatic therapies, gong‑based sensory processing, and mind‑body methods developed in clinical settings. Richard has demonstrated this work at institutions including Harvard Medical School and the Institute of Noetic Sciences.
