Awakening the Heart & Vagus Nerve: Journey into Somatic Resilience

Reconnect to your inner wisdom & cultivate embodied resilience with nervous system science, somatic awareness, & heart-centered practices.

In the midst of life's challenges, it's easy to feel overwhelmed, burnt out, or disconnected from our true selves. This 2-hour experiential workshop invites you to embark on a journey back to your heart—the center of your embodied intelligence and innate resilience.​

Through the lens of Polyvagal Theory and somatic practices, you'll explore how your nervous system—particularly the vagus nerve—responds to stress and learn practical tools to shift from states of overwhelm to presence. By engaging in heart-centered exercises, breathwork, and gentle movement, you'll discover how to stimulate the vagus nerve to create a sense of safety within your body, allowing your heart to open and guide you.

What to Expect

1. Grounding & Safety: Begin with body-based practices that foster a felt sense of safety and connection. Learn why safety isn’t something we can think our way into—and how it's signaled through the body and nervous system.

1. Heart-Centered Inspiration: Cultivate heart qualities like kindness, compassion, and gratitude—proven to nurture nervous system resilience—while reconnecting with what truly matters to you as an inner compass.

1. Somatic Awareness: Learn to recognize and navigate the different states of your nervous system, understanding how they impact your emotions and behaviors.

1. Guided Nervous System Journey: Experience a meditative journey through the states of your nervous system that deepens your connection to your body and heart's wisdom.

1. Resilience Building: Engage in practical regulation exercises that help you return to a state of balance and openness, even amidst stress.

1. Reflective Sharing: Connect with others in a supportive environment to share insights and experiences—community connection is a cornerstone of nervous system regulation and wellbeing.
