Finding Your Resilience with Sommerville

May 27, 2023 from 2:00 pm to 4:30 pm

A 2.5 hour workshop blending mindfulness, attuning to the nervous system, gentle yoga, and group support in shifting personal patterns.

As professionals, parents, care-givers, partners, visionaries, and unique bright souls in our community, we are often pulled in too many directions while genuinely wanting to show up fully in all arenas.

With a global pandemic and rising awareness of the need to continue the movement for civil and human rights, new possibilities are on the horizon and our personal wellness is a foundation that we cannot neglect.

What is Included:

-a two and a half hour workshop with similarly intentioned community

-learn how to listen to the language of your body

-slow and drop into greater awareness of the present moment with mindfulness practices

-explore gentle yoga movement that can be incorporated into your daily life

-understand the functioning of the autonomic nervous system, reducing shame around personal patterns and creating more room for choice

-set actionable goals for daily routines that center on your individual needs for health and wellness

-calm anxious thoughts by learning to orient to safety, the here and now, the body, the breath, and the natural world

Sliding Scale Fees:

The lower price point is for individuals who would like to invest in this alternative form of wellness but are living more closely paycheck to paycheck, especially individuals who are LGBTQ+, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color. Please indicate briefly why you are choosing this price point.

The middle price point is for those who are able to financially invest in their personal wellbeing on a less than consistent basis (occasional massages, etc.) but do not have the privilege or means to go beyond that by supporting others financially. Please indicate briefly why you are choosing this price point.

The upper price point is intended for those who are more comfortable financially, able to invest in consistent forms of self care, while having enough to also give a little extra towards the wellness of the collective. Please indicate briefly why you are choosing this price point.
