We all have the capacity to get to know our nervous system, our breath, our energy, and our patterns of thinking and being. This series will offer opportunities to delve more deeply into your dynamic Self to cultivate energetic awareness, healing, and transformation within the container of an inclusive and compassionately held space.
In this series we will explore the underpinnings of how we use or block our own energy, as well as tools to regulate your nervous system and discern real needs in challenging and blissful moments. Weaving through Bioenergetics, yoga, movement, and breathwork, we will empower personal resources to track patterns of thinking, being and interacting with the world; transmuting triggers, sensitivities, and wounds into fertile ground for personal growth.
This 6-month intensive program is designed for students who are interested in deepening awareness and understanding of how your subtle body and energetic patterning relates to your experience of aliveness and connection in daily life! For practitioners, it can be an experiential resource for broadening your psycho-somatic tools for use in professional practice and self-care.
Class will meet one Sunday a month for 3 hours. Throughout the series, classes will cover philosophy and neuroscience, anatomy and energy mapping, as well as experiential practices, meditations, and points of inquiry for reflection, transformation and integration into daily life.

This 6-week experiential class series is based on Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), a course on mindfulness practice and stress reduction developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn at the UMass Medical School in 1979. It is the oldest and most studied mindfulness curriculum for general improvements in health and well-being. The technique was originally developed for use in hospitals with patients suffering from painful, chronic, or disabling conditions. It was found that following participation in an MBSR program, participants' levels of anxiety and depression decreased and their sense of well-being increased. Extensive research has shown that the Stress Reduction Program can be beneficial for anyone, regardless of state of health. It is a course that helps participants draw on their own inner resources and actively engage in caring for themselves and finding greater balance, ease, and peace of mind.
