During This Event:
Ayurveda, Polyvagal Theory, and Your Balanced System
In this 90-minute, we'll cover the tenants of the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda and the modern science behind polyvagal theory to help participants understand how we can recognize which rung we're hanging onto on the polyvagal ladder, how to leverage the gunas (universal qualities) to balance the dosha(s) (bioindividual psychic and physiological constitution) to slowly, smoothly, and safely climb up the ladder to our calm, compassionate, connected best selves.
Integrative Yin Yoga
In this 60-minute Yin Yoga practice, we'll utilize the Five Elements of Alchemical Taoism to move stagnation, remove excess, and rejuvenate what is deficient. Everything in nature is made up of the Five Elements, and we are a part of nature! Traditional Taoist breathwork, acupressure, and guided meditation, along with Yin Yoga postures will be our tools. Leave feeling grounded and clear.

During This Event:
As Is: An exploration of Equanimity, Responsiveness, and the Unknown - As we face a reality that demands sustained engagement with incredibly stressful information and experiences, our bodies will need to become increasingly adaptable and resilient. The flexibility, collaboration and problem-solving that will help us to navigate our circumstances are rooted in a capacity to observe and interact with ourselves, our environments and other beings as they are. Through a series of embodied reflections, we'll observe the mental, physical and emotional dynamics of living within and working to overcome threat-based social dominance hierarchies. This exploration will help identify potential resources and practices to ease reactivity, fear and aggression, reducing physiological activation when it is not helpful. By strengthening our capacity to access calm reflectivity, we may be able to direct our time and energy with more intention toward efforts and relationships that are sustainable and nurture ethical and effective solidarity.
Therapeutic Tremor - A movement workshop centered on the method and application of the therapeutic tremor as a tool to cultivate emotional flexibility and reduce excessive physiological stress. Our bodies are meant to metabolise and dissipate activation and tension after a stressful event, returning to homeostasis and a “rest and digest” autonomic state. Most animals instinctively initiate this process after a stressful encounter has ended. Humans, however, need to navigate extremely complex threats that often have no end or escape in sight. Frequently, these threats are not something we can physically confront, yet our bodies prepare to fight or flee, leaving us with excessive activation. Short periods of TRE (Tension and Trauma Release Exercise) can act as an accessible and gentle way to help our systems move out of excessive stress responses, balance over-response or under-response cultivated in early life, and transition to rest after demanding experiences. Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing that they can easily move in. We will be standing, sitting and laying down throughout the workshop. A yoga mat, towel, pillow or bolster may enhance comfort.
