This group is for adults (18+) who are:

Seeking regulation (NOT performance).
Wanting to try something new and fun!

What you will learn:

How our bodies respond to stress and overwhelm.
How to recognize and expand your "Window of Tolerance."
Why regulation and joy are essential to healing (not just coping).
How to build awareness of your internal experience (body, thoughts, emotions).
Practical ways to stay present in real time--even under pressure.
