About the event
Participants will be invited into a transformative exploration of the felt sense of safety, connection, and play through movement, breath, and body-based practices. Grounded in the science of neuroception and somatic therapy, this workshop gently guides participants into tuning into their own internal landscape, how their body holds, guards, and communicates boundaries, and then expands into relational exploration with others.
Participants will:
Learn about the nervous system’s role in shaping how we relate to others
Explore somatic tools for noticing body-based signals of safety and protection
Engage in solo and partner exercises to develop attunement and trust
Cultivate body awareness through guided breath and movement practices
