Metamorphosis: Unlocking Unconscious Tension

With Cindy Silverlock

July 16 - 19, 2020

This program will either be moved to a virtual gathering, be rescheduled to another date in 2021, or cancelled. 

We are currently working out all the details. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you so much for your patience, support, and understanding.

Sign-up to be notified when we have more information confirmed. You may also find details on Hollyhock’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic here.


Metamorphosis is a profound catalyst that allows you to do your own internal process of easing unconscious tension. Unconscious tension is the chaotic energy underneath abuse, addiction, relationship issues, global dilemmas, and the inability to move past grief or trauma. A Metamorphosis treatment is non-verbal and deeply relaxing. Using gentle touch, we work on the bony structure of the feet, hands, head, and directly on the spine. You remain fully clothed during the process with the exception of your feet. Symptoms are the expression of this underlying tension, but not the source. Therefore, we do not diagnose or treat symptoms. But as tensions ease, so do symptoms.

Metamorphosis is a doorway into underlying tension and an invitation to let it go. The practitioner acts like the flashlight, helping you find this tension and in just the awareness of it, it eases, without effort.

People share stories after receiving treatments that they:
• are less reactive
• communicate better
• create happier homes
• find it easier to manifest
• have left abusive relationships
• have physical issues ease or go away
• came to terms with grief or trauma
• stopped smoking or drinking
• are less addictive overall
• feel greater confidence, peace, and joy

This program is for practitioners and non-practitioners alike.

I have always had nervous habits. If I got rid of one, the tension would show up elsewhere.  I feel for the first time, that it will be possible to leave my nervous habits behind. Also, after doing various forms of bodywork for fourteen plus years, I am relieved to finally be learning something which doesn’t involve lots of protocols. I enjoy using my intuition, awareness, and presence. – Betsy T., New Mexico

This class changed my whole thinking on healing. It reminded me how natural everything is. Cindy’s presence and way of teaching is also very natural, she is such a warm person. – Paula P., Finland


In this short video, Cindy explains how you can let go of past trauma without remembering; moving towards a brighter future:
