Eidetic Institute

Active Mind Yoga: Power of the Tiger 🐅 is a 7-week, asynchronous experiential learning opportunity offered through the Eidetic Institute, designed to explore the union of mind, body, and emotions through Eidetic Imaging. This is not physical yoga—yoga here means union, using imagery as the pathway for insight, somatic awareness, and change.

Participants will engage weekly with guided audio Tiger images, written reflection, and individualized facilitator feedback, following an immersive “image-go-round” format that allows insight to unfold experientially.

This experience is facilitated by a compassionate and experienced team:

Katy Swafford, PhD, founder and director of the Eidetic Institute, student of Akhter Ahsen, and developer of Eidetic Systems Therapy;

Darius Hawk Sayers, MA, LPC, a veteran and trauma-informed therapist integrating Eidetic Imaging in his work with service members, veterans, and first responders

Natalie Collazo, LPC-Associate, NCC, MA in Counseling, MS in Education (1st–6th grade), co-chair and vice president of communication at the Eidetic Institute, and founder of Archway Healing, specializing in grief and loss through Eidetic Imaging (supervised by Katelyn Williams, MA, LPC-S, RPT-S, NCC).

✨ Thank you, Rock Springs, for welcoming Natalie Collazo and the .institute to share “When Words Fall Short: The Power of Eidetic Imaging in Healing” during your CEU series.

Natalie, founder of and co-chair at the .institute , led the experiential discussion on how Eidetic work can heal with a lens on grief and mood disorders, exploring how imagery can meet what words often can’t.

We’re also grateful to Darius Sayers, who helps facilitate Eidetic groups at the Institute, and offered his unique perspective as both a clinician at Rock Springs, owner of a private practice, and as a veteran. His insights added a layer of depth and heart to the conversation.

Humans are thoughtful and resourceful. Many arrive at therapy after trying everything they can think of, (many times with help from ChatGPT). Often, knowledge alone isn’t enough.

Eidetics offers a systems approach grounded in science, mythology, and philosophy, using images to engage the mind, body, and emotions together. This systems approach, tailored by , is a profound and experiential path toward meaningful change. 🐅
