Do you ever feel stuck in your body, like tension, restlessness, or anxiety are always just below the surface? Maybe you notice that the moment you stop, a sense of overwhelm arises, or perhaps you struggle to get started, procrastinate, and feel stuck regularly. Often, our nervous system can carry the imprint of past experiences, and simply trying to “think your way through it” isn’t enough.

Discover how gentle, compassionate attention to your body can help. In this introductory workshop, we’ll explore felt sense awareness, the subtle bodily “knowing” that can precede conscious thought, through a nervous system informed approach.

As one guiding principle reminds us: “The slow way is the fast way.” Change or growth doesn’t always come from big, dramatic releases, but often, it’s the small, gentle moments where your nervous system feels safe enough to notice and explore sensations that may have previously felt overwhelming.

In this session, you’ll be gently guided to notice whatever arises in your body with curiosity, tuning into subtle shifts, tensions, or movements and exploring what your body may be holding.

Through gentle, experiential practices, you’re invited to:

• Notice and connect with internal and external resources, finding what helps you feel supported, safe, and held.
• Explore subtle felt sense sensations with curiosity, giving yourself space to observe rather than interpret or fix.
• Learn a little about how the nervous system responds to stress and safety, and practice micro moments that invite your nervous system to feel more regulated and supported.
• Experience how small, gentle moments of attention can create new possibilities, helping you respond to challenges with more choice and ease.

This workshop is introductory, experiential, and invitational. No prior experience with somatic or body focused practices is required, only a willingness to notice and explore.
