Nervous system education, somatic movement, breathwork, and therapeutic drumming to help you restore your natural wellbeing.
About this Event

In this experience, you'll receive education about your nervous system and move through practices designed to shift your nervous system from stress to safety, connection, and restoration. We'll work with the four elements as a framework for exploring grounding, breath, release, and flow in your body.

This experience teaches you the science first, then guides you through the embodied practices that actually create lasting change.

Your body holds the stories that your mind has tried to forget. Chronic stress and overwhelm live in your nervous system - not just your mind. Grounded in polyvagal theory and trauma-informed care, this journey offers what the mind alone cannot do: a pathway home to your body.

You'll experience:

  • Evidence-based breathwork and somatic practices that increase nervous system resilience
  • Gentle movement to release tension and stress stuck in your tissues
  • A guided drum journey using rhythmic entrainment to access deep healing states
  • Somatic practices to process anything your body has been holding
  • Community co-regulation in a safe, trauma-informed space


This is about working with your nervous system the way it's designed to heal. You'll leave with a greater understanding of your nervous system and energy systems and practical tools you can use at home.


Nervous system education:

  • The three states: ventral vagal (safe & social), sympathetic (fight/flight), dorsal vagal (freeze/shutdown)
  • How chronic stress keeps us cycling between survival states
  • Why we can't "think" our way out of nervous system dysregulation
  • The concept of completing stress cycles vs. suppressing them
  • How somatic practices work with your nervous system, not against it

The benefit: Knowledge is power. Understanding your nervous system removes shame and gives you a roadmap for healing.


Who this is for:

✓ Anyone stuck in chronic stress and overwhelm who feels wired and tired at the same time

✓ People tired of "understanding" their stress but still feeling it in their body

✓ Those seeking evidence-based approaches to healing that honor both science and embodiment

✓ People who want to understand more about their nervous systems and energy systems

✓ Anyone who wants to experience a nervous system reset held in compassionate space
