🟣 Mapping Your Nervous System Workshop
Date: Saturday, November 9 from 10am - 12pm
Location: Pause Studio, Downtown PDX
Cost: Free for Pause Members / $25-45 Sliding Scale for Non-Members
Grounded in a Polyvagal approach to healing, this workshop is designed as a somatic and creative experience to better understand and regulate our nervous system. We'll explore core components of ventral, sympathetic, and dorsal states through imagery, breath, visualization, and collage.
You can expect:
Exercises to promote a sense of ease and connection in your body
A brief introduction to the Polyvagal Ladder
Various prompts to enhance curiosity and creativity
Guidance in making a collaged map of your nervous system
Fear not, you do not need to be "artsy" or know anything about Polyvagal Theory. (If you're intrigued to learn more in advance, I recommend checking out Deb Dana here)
Magazines, glue and scissors will be provided along with cardboard. Feel free to bring your own if you've been collecting.
