With the guidance of a seasoned, certified facilitator, participants will practice powerful techniques for regulating their autonomic nervous systems.
By listening to brief, facilitator-developed podcasts before each session and engaging in experiential learning during each session, participants will learn about and practice soft-belly breathing, guided imagery, self directed relaxation, art for surface wisdom, journaling for insight, shaking and dancing, and more.
Mind-body skills groups gather together to give their members space to be heard, to practice listening with compassion, and to witness each other’s growth. The facilitator and participants do not give advice, suggestions, or other interventions intended to “fix” each others’ concerns. Rather, the group holds space for each member to learn and grow as a unique, empowered, internally guided individual over the course of the six weeks.
