Lisa Roll

Lisa Roll, LPC, BC-DMT, RYT200 is a licensed mind/body therapist at Samaritan Counseling Center, a board-certified Dance/Movement Therapist, trained in EMDR, and a certified yoga instructor. Lisa is known for her somatic approach, helping individuals transform personal issues into meaningful insight and balancing emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. She utilizes Somatic Therapy, ‘soma’ meaning body, and Eye Movement Desensitization which are considered top approaches for the treatment of trauma. Somatic Therapy helps to restore the body as a place of safety, to process emotions, and to restore compassion to oneself and to the world. Lisa offers techniques for self-regulation through embodied practices, conscious breathwork, and mindful movement. Mindfulness is a state of being aware of one’s sensory experience, thoughts and feelings, and research shows it as being one of the most effective methods for regulating the nervous system. The benefits include reducing stress hormones, managing anxiety, promoting emotional stability, and improving mood. Lisa leads retreats and classes on Embodied Practices and Relational Skills that calm the mind, soothe the nervous system, and promote radiant well-being. She has presented at conferences and international settings, and she is passionate about sharing skills that increase day-to-day joy and easeful living. Lisa creates workshops for specialty groups and may be reached at Samaritan Counseling, 918-336-1463, www.samaritanbartlesville.org.

A few of its countless benefits are increased calm, connection, health, sleep, creativity, vitality and overall stress & anxiety reduction.

Entering the Forest is a peaceful experience and you'll have the opportunity to meditate in a beautiful Meditation Chapel with large windows looking out into the woods. Other meditation areas include a traditional Zen Garden, a woodland labyrinth for walking meditation, and an underground meditation chamber (the Cave of the Mothers) with wonderful acoustics for chanting.

Our retreat center also has a trail system along wooded bluffs with views of Shell Lake and downtown Tulsa. You can rent a cabin to experience the peaceful setting overnight for your own personal retreat. Our rental rates include three meals a day in our dining room, where you'll eat alongside other guests and residents of our community. The Forest also offers a full range of programs and retreats on meditation and spiritual topics.

You have a range of options to experience meditation in a way that suits you. You might choose to join our resident community for meditation held Tuesday through Saturday at 7:00 a.m., 12:00 noon, or 4:45 p.m., and on Sunday at 9:45 a.m. in our Meditation Chapel. Here you'll experience a meditation of 25 to 45 minutes with others who can help guide you.

Or, you may wish to simply rake the Zen Garden as you contemplate the prayer flags in the trees overhead. If you prefer to move while meditating, walking the labyrinth or hiking the trails will give you a chance to reconnect with nature. The Cave of the Mothers provides you with a dark, quiet place where you will be amazed by the sound of your chanting reverberating all around you.

Place of Peace

The Forest is a beautiful place of Peace. It is truly ecumenical and open to all people whatever they believe. It's especially enlightening to seekers as they can just visit or take workshops or join groups. The meals are wonderful and also provide food for the soul as people gather together in peace. Check it out!
