> > navigating overwhelm : technologies for returning to the present < <

with so much happening within and around us, we can be easily pulled into a state of overwhelm without even realizing it. in this workshop we will continue to nourish and befriend our inner witnesses. we’ll notice the sensations in our bodies that accompany overwhelm, helping us to detect it before we’re submerged. we’ll review practices from past workshops and explore new ways of offering ourselves containment - an important component in settling overwhelm and returning to the present. why? these skills help maximize our access to a sense of relative safety and agency, supporting our ability to respond to the world around us in value-aligned ways.


> > > RSVP here to receive a zoom link for the JULY 21 workshop, 6-7pm EST. < < <

in this time of authoritarian strategy involving overlapping urgent demands on the collective level, my aim for this series is to gather together at the hearth of body-based and trauma-informed skills so that we may: 

  • be together in orienting to a shared reality (though our experiences are different)

  • interrupt patterns that are not serving our ability to show up for each other and ourselves

  • resist the regime by growing our bodies’ capacities to stay with the trouble fuckery, as personal & community collapse is what those in executive power are hoping for

  • expand resilience by accessing joy through grief and rage

  • MAY 19 Experiential Introduction to the Language of your Nervous System

in this workshop I share some things I’ve learned about the autonomic nervous system and how it communicates. we cover the basics of fight, flight, freeze, fawn and you’ll have opportunities to tune into the specificities of your own patterning. why? becoming aware - then intimate - with our patterns allows us to make choices informed by our embodied wisdom and build new patterns where old or inherited ones may no longer serve us best.

  • JUNE 23 Slowing Down with the Basics : Orienting, Tracking, Resourcing

    in this workshop I introduce some foundational body-based practices that support nervous system regulation. as we explore, participants are invited to notice shifts in their sensation and emotion. alongside deepening awareness of your body’s communication patterns, we turn toward what resource means for you and how you might locate it at any moment. why? these skills help maximize our access to a sense of relative safety–which supports our ability to rest and respond to the world around us in value-aligned ways.
