Humans Tribing & Vibing: Nervous System Mastery

Celebrating the love of pets!

Purpose:

This workshop helps humans ground and settle their own nervous system. So their animals feel safer and calmer and can better trust human leadership.

Many of us feel a deep bond with our animals. It’s a connection that doesn’t care about affiliations, identities, culture, etc.

I created these specific tools to maintain a grounded state as I moved through a pet’s very troubling health situation. I’m deeply bonded with my animals and my heart hurt from the threat of losing a beloved connection. I wanted to think clearly and make the most effective decisions.

When I consciously shifted my system out of threat mode, I could see direct changes in my pet’s demeanor, eating, resting, and other activities.

Who is this for:

• Pet parents who want to be in their most powerful, grounded state and make the best decisions, when facing a pet health challenge.
• People who work with animals like groomers and trainers.
• People who provide medical care to animals.
• People who serve animals like pet hotel attendants.

Some introductory foundations:
When pet parents receive troubling medical news about their pet, our bodies process as if we are facing an actual present moment physical threat. Projected loss; lack of clear outcome; and other factors increase cortisol and impair our ability to think clearly.

Even when our thinking minds don’t recognize our body's in threat mode, animals sense our body's vigilance. Our animals feel our physiological sense of threat. They go on guard against danger. This stress negatively impacts the animal’s ability to heal, trust their surroundings, trust service providers, etc.

What we’ll be doing:

First - As we start every circle, somatic practices that call to ancestral, ancient memories of communing in circle.

Then, specifically crafted for relating with our animals -

• Guided meditation to gently witness your body’s feels surrounding a challenging circumstance involving your animals.
• Deciphering the message of the feel.
• Energy practice to move the feel.
• Journaling your experience as we go.
• Specific techniques to use with your animals

What to bring:

• Notebook to write in.
• Something comfy to sit on the floor.
• Object you can use as animal

I look forward to meeting you in Circle!

*********This is a monthly in person circle. *****

Who is this for?

This is a safe space for deep processors. Non conformists. Neurospicy. Power seekers, HSPs, Multi channel creatives alike. Who want to feel more themselves. Connected and rooted. To their own unique power. With other humans. With life.

Let's practice helping our bodies remember how to listen without words.

What to expect.......?

First - somatic practices that call to ancestral, ancient memories of communing in circle:

• When we embodied trust in our felt sense of each other, before words were spoken.
• Before our bodies were conditioned into performing, conforming, and suppressing unique self expression, to be safe.
• Before 'mindset' suppressed intelligence the body knows first.

Then - guided practices to help you decipher and hear without judgment the messages your body wants you to know:

• Breath work; energy practices; meditative journeying; parts work; journaling; other exercises as may arise.
• No sharing is required. Although welcome if you desire.

What to bring: Wear comfortable clothing. Bring something to write on, something to drink after circle. Something comfy to sit on the floor. In some spaces fluids aren’t allowed.

Workshop attendance is limited to 15 people. As we expand our container boundaries, that number can grow.

I'm glad to be communing with you in circle!

I’m glad you’re here, I love practicing with other humans!

This is a monthly practice for peeps who have attended an in person workshop.

What are we going to do?

We will be going deeper into whichever practices we covered during the in person workshops - and/or - 'love seat' specific support for anyone who asks.

You’ll be guided through these steps we'll do together:
- Settling the circle.
- Space for questions about any of the practices.
- Inquiring into what your body is holding about anything that activates discomfort/conflict/stress.
- Noticing the landscape of your Inner World when you think of the topic.
- Anyone can ask for specific practice guidance on any topic they are experiencing that is activating their body into stress mode.
- Applying a practice, noticing what shifts or not in your Inner World/body, and, if you feel called to share, adjusting the practice to meet what's present.
- Capturing your experience in writing.
- Space for additional questions that may have arisen.

What should I bring?

• A notebook to write in.

I look forward to practicing with you!
