Program Description:
Designed to support people to recover from and prevent burnout, this practice circle is a radical step towards rest, self-care, coming back to ourselves and supporting each other in community. We will learn ways to nurture our nervous systems, so that we feel less tense and stuck, and more at ease, grounded, and connected to who we are so we can grow back into our capacity to thrive and show up for ourselves, our loved ones, our colleagues, and the communities we support.
Sessions will include restful body scans, guided embodied still & movement practices, journaling and co-regulating relational exercises and discussion. Participants will be supported in developing their own self-care practice. They will also gain an understanding of how stress and traumatic experiences affect our mental health and physiology, how to work with our neurobiology to feel more balanced, widen our ability to meet the demands of life, and move from surviving to thriving.
Audio & video recordings, journal prompts, and additional resources will be provided to support your personal practice.
