January 26, 2023

All-Day Virtual Gathering with 7-Day Access to Download the Recordings

This course combines social, affective, and neuroscience with psychology and body therapeutics designed to uplift depression, alleviate grief, and address loss in today’s challenging, yet transformative world.

Rekindling the Flame: Therapeutic Tools to Nourish Physical, Emotional, & Collective Well-Being

There’s a lot going on; and those of us in the well-being professions have been asked to hold a lot, both for others and in ourselves.

We’re entering our fourth pandemic year together, which continues to alter the nature and focus of our work, personal lives, and communities. All around us, social forces continue to accelerate. We continue to witness assaults on bodily agency and autonomy. A growing lack of equality. Global hunger. War. Climate change. Political polarization and a rise in autocracy.

All this takes an energetic and emotional toll on us, even with devoted self-care.

Yet amidst all these factors, we find ourselves with unprecedented opportunities for change. How do we rise to the occasion, especially when we and those around us are contending with grief, loss, and stress? In this all-day workshop, we’ll convene in community to address these questions.

In this all-day experience, we’ll explore:

• our neuro-immune system: what it is and how to empower it
• body systems that impact energy regulation and burnout, including the immune system, nervous systems, & microbiomes
• new scientific findings on energy regulation and burnout
• the science of neuroplasticity, and how it can accommodate new patterns
• The evolving science of neuroplasticity (how the body, brain, and nervous system change in response to experience)
• fascia self-bodywork sequences, novel movement practices, and restorative practices geared to building and conserving energy
• the art of embodied boundaries

We’ll experience a full range of practical tools to build and conserve energy, develop burnout recovery and prevention skills, hone our attentional focus, nourish creativity, boost emotional and nervous system regulation, and show up authentically in todays intense, rapidly changing, and transformative world. 

Throughout our time together, I’ll integrate cutting-edge research from science, psychology, and other fields of study with detailed instruction for practice, prescriptions for well-being, and implications for the urgent problem of human suffering.

You’ll receive:

• Access to download the workshop recordings for a period of 7 (seven) days so you can keep and review them forever
• A copy of the workshop PowerPoint
• A CE certificate for yoga teachers through Yoga Alliance

Materials will be sent out by end of day on Monday, January 23rd. The recording will be available until Monday, January 30, 2023.

You’ll receive a copy of the workshop PowerPoint, a CE certificate for yoga teachers through Yoga Alliance, and a link to download all the materials for a period of seven days (so you can keep and review them forever).
