WHAT IS THE CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCE?
Watch this video:
There comes a point in every growth journey where effort alone stops working, and the deeper patterns beneath the surface ask to be met. This immersive educational experience invites adults to return to the foundations of emotional development, where many of our relational habits, beliefs, and self-perceptions first took shape. Rather than pushing forward or performing change, participants are guided to slow down, listen inward, and build new understanding through embodied learning and shared inquiry.
This work cannot be bypassed; it asks for presence, honesty, and a willingness to engage what has been carried forward from early life, where many of our automatic responses and relational habits were first learned. When these foundations are understood and brought into conscious awareness, individuals gain greater choice in how they relate to themselves, others, and the world around them—making space for more freedom, clarity, and authentic connection.
Who Should Attend?
Adults 25 and Over
This workshop is designed for adults age 25 and older who were raised within caregiving systems and are interested in understanding how early experiences shape adult patterns. By this stage of development, individuals are better equipped to reflect on formative experiences with perspective, discernment, and personal responsibility. Engaging this work in adulthood allows for deeper insight, integration, and choice.
Those New to This Work
This experience is appropriate for participants who are beginning to explore self-understanding, emotional awareness, and relational patterns. No prior workshop experience is required. A basic familiarity with self-reflection practices is helpful, but curiosity and willingness to engage are the primary prerequisites.
Experienced Participants
This workshop also serves individuals who have engaged in personal growth, educational, or self-inquiry work and are interested in exploring subtler patterns that continue to influence identity, relationships, and decision-making. The curriculum supports refinement, integration, and deeper understanding rather than surface-level change.
Couples
Partners may attend together to explore how personal histories inform communication styles, expectations, and relational dynamics. The workshop provides educational frameworks and shared language that support greater awareness, empathy, and responsibility within adult relationships.
Parents and Future Parents
This experience is valuable for individuals who are parenting or planning to parent and wish to better understand how early developmental experiences influence adult behavior and caregiving approaches. Participants often gain insight into how awareness of their own history supports more conscious, responsive relationships within families.
What is the format?
This workshop is a five-night, six-day immersion with two months of FREE aftercare. The workshop is trauma-informed and facilitated by a doctorate-level psychologist. This workshop offers a deep educational and experiential learning environment designed to support insight, skill-building, and integration.
Tools: You will learn practical tools that are practiced daily and throughout the aftercare program to support nervous system literacy and optimal integration. One of the most impactful aspects of this experience is learning how early-life imprints shape present-day patterns—so you can build new internal reference points, expand choice, and relate to yourself and others with greater clarity and steadiness.
Exercises: Structured group activities that help participants connect with qualities of their inner child through hands-on practices, guided reflection, role-play, scenarios, and creative expression.
Lessons: Comprehensive lessons that are directly applicable to real-life challenges. Lessons are designed to ensure participants deeply understand and engage with the material in a meaningful way.
Immersive Experiences: Longer-form practices with deeper intention and time allocation. These experiences are body-centered and introspective, using guided self-reflection and creative expression to explore subconscious patterns, examine deeply held beliefs, and engage the material as a lived learning process.

Liberation is the evolution of retreats I’ve been looking for
“Stacy has created an amazing experience that invited me to step into my inner child and see the imprinting I was given that’s been dictating my life in an unproductive way. I was never pushed past my own edges yet still had deep emotional releases that gave me new perspectives on who I am underneath all my labels and identities. No more play small! All IS well!”
– CP
Liberation Releasing The Past was profoundly life changing for me
The tools, skills, resources, education I have gained from this experience with Dr Ellis, I view as one of the biggest investments I’ve made in my journey, and feel invigorated moving forward with making significant strides for living my best life.
It’s not just another workshop… it’s training on how an individual can integrate modalities in to their everyday life to laugh, love, and smile more, by letting go of what doesn’t serve us, and calling in what does. All while in an loving, caring, safe, secure, organized, well held container. Furthermore including 3 months of integration after the program where the real changes comes into effect, as an integration coach myself , I greatly appreciate that.
This is the work that really works.

Liberation Sedona is an important work on the inner child that I had been avoiding my whole life
I have spent thousands of dollars on my grown up, learning tools to be a solid person, meanwhile carrying around ancient traumas that were programmed into me without my conscious mind knowing it was happening because I was a child when it happened. Not only was I able to discover my subconscious inner child, I was able to heal many of the traumas I experienced growing up. I feel so much lighter in my day to day living now that I have new tools to help me work through the overwhelm of my nervous system when it happens. Finally, I have a way to interact with my inner child that keeps me safe and empowered at any age I happen to be experiencing at the moment. Dr. Stacy Ellis is brilliant and this work is truly needed in the world!
– Michael Gibson
This is subtly powerful work
It reaches deep places in a gentle way. Stacy brings a spirit of clarity, authenticity, play, knowledge and safety. She’s a model for the Divine Parent most of us never had!
Life is good and all is well!
The results speak for themselves and what I am experiencing in my life is a more relaxed body, a sunnier disposition, and greater sociability. Dr Ellis is such a skilled, competent, and loving facilitator that my body and my mind were both able to fully relax into trust and move through and release many long-held and sticky traumas. Life is good and all is well!

This “Liberation- Releasing the Past” workshop for me was the deepest most profound experience of my life
I felt so safe and was able to experience things that created so much awareness and was really able to tap into the inner child to be able to heal as an adult. Honestly, would recommend this to every single person in my life, and I will never forget this experience of when I woke up to who I really am. Thank you from my whole heart.

This workshop is by far the most powerful training I have ever experienced!
I was able to release stuck emotions and trauma from my childhood.
– Johnny
This training was an amazing experience
I entered the training with a very broken inner child I could never tap unto. After the workshop, I left with a vibrant engaging relationship with my inner child. I’d always felt somewhat of an outcast and that I didn’t actually belong on this planet. After this workshop have a strong sense of belonging and connectedness.

I would recommend this workshop to anyone who has parents
The workshop has changed my life in ways I would have never imagined. I can see and feel the continued growth and healing in my life. I think the entire world should take your workshop, there would be so much healing and self love that it would change humanity as we know it. Since the workshop I am grounded in my self, my decisions, my value, and my worthiness. I have built a relationship with my little girl that is very close to me. I would recommend this workshop to anyone who has parents. Thank you for the true healing in my life that I have been seeking for more than a 10 years.”
– Heather Ashby
I can say that this workshop was an unforgettable experience and life changing
I was able to release a lot of negative emotions and energy and felt on top of the world and “lighter” when I left. I learned a lot of good modalities that I am able to use at home and Stacy gives 150% of herself to the work and to each of us. I would do it again and recommend it to anyone, we all have “childhood issues” we need to deal with, whether we know it or not.
– Karen G.
I’d recommend this to anyone who is sincerely ready to take their lives to the next level
I’ve done a lot of different workshops and personal growth over the years, and this was by far the most productive, focused and potent workshop to date. I loved how Dr. Stacy Ellis brought the three different modalities together. Releasing tension, dissolving old frameworks, stories, belief systems; reprogramming our brains and bodies with new affirming thoughts and beliefs was exciting, fascinating and extremely powerful. Honestly, I’d recommend this to anyone who is sincerely ready to take their lives to the next level.

100 years from now, this workshop will be in all of the textbooks
This is coming from someone who doubted the validity of this work. The only reason I did this is because I trusted the science and I also trusted the facilitator, Stacy Ellis. I was kind of resistant at first… That being said, I would give all of my money and all of my possessions including my career and reputation to keep what I got from this workshop. What I got from this is priceless and it’s now the most valuable thing I own. 100 years from now, this workshop will be in all of the textbooks as the turning point in modern psychology. This workshop is the beginning of a new era that will slowly but surely take over the world of medicine – not just psychology but also for hospitals and health clinics all over the world. In a very literally way, it reprogrammed my subconscious brain and I am already noticing profound changes in my life.

For humans seeking a more enlightened awareness
My experience in the Healing Early Childhood Workshop was a necessary step for my souls evolution. This workshop is essential for those seeking to clear out stuff that isn’t yours and for humans seeking a more enlightened awareness of their complexity.
– MIA ROE
This workshop was eye-opening
This workshop was eye-opening, motivating, and exhausting (in the best way possible). After doing this deep-dive, I feel like I can finally start to make sense of things in my life that have been a mystery or that I have just accepted as me. Looking forward to seeing what goals I can accomplish and walls I can tear down with my newfound identity.
– AG
I would recommend this workshop to anyone who has parents

The modalities I learned are helping me and everyone around me to better communicate and be more loving and patient. I recommend every single person to attend this workshop! It is life changing! Thank you again!
