Empower your nervous system and body to feel safe, nurtured and restored. Create your own personalized soothing toolkit that meets your needs and supports you back to balance. Discover how a self-care practice can empower you to move into alignment with your heart and highest self.
In this workshop, you will: learn about how your nervous system operates day-to-day and during traumatic or turbulent times; begin a practice of working with your body as opposed to fighting and repressing it; introduce practices and supportive networks that can help you to regulate on your own and with others; and create a personalized toolkit that you can hold space for your nourishment and care.
You will experience ways to self-soothe and soothe with others. We will incorporate ritual, prayer, energetic attunement and our intention in a sacred container.
Using meditation and mindfulness practices, journaling, creative prompts and sharing our lived experiences, we will explore what it means to be in community and also have a practice of self-care that prioritizes our mental, emotional, spiritual and physical well-being.
What to bring: an empty shoebox, note cards (various colors preferable), items that you would include in a personal altar (candle, crystal, a glass of water, flowers, seeds, beads or whatever resonates for you that is personal to you), and your journal.
