Description

Stillness is an essential element of well-being, yet many clients live in a state of high alert and a move toward calm sends signals of danger. Understanding the delicate dance between safety and stillness within the parasympathetic nervous system is paramount.

You’ll discover how to: 

• Create a map of autonomically regulating experiences of stillness  
• Help clients safely sequence from movement to rest  
• Use individual and dyadic practices to create pathways to stillness  

Don’t miss this chance to learn how to safely guide clients away from survival pathways and towards a state of calm and flourishing – REGISTER NOW!
