What is this workshop about?
This 90-minute workshop explores practical techniques for dissolving stress and inviting relaxation. It focuses on emotional care for activists, facilitators, and those in emotionally charged environments. We will practice embodied nervous system regulation tools and discover which of them suits your needs best.
Understanding how supporting physical, emotional, cognitive, and energetic aspects of our experience can strengthen our collective bodies.
What are we going to do?
Throughout the workshop, you will gain three types of strategies for overcoming triggering situations:
Discreet Tools: Regulation techniques that can be done at any time in any place, when you need to come back to your center.
Low Effort: Techniques that are simple, repeatable, and applicable across a variety of scenarios.
High Effort: Techniques that are more involved and can support you in moments of more intense de-regulation.
