Sensing Safety & Connection - Nervous System Mastery Series

Nervous System Mastery Workshop Series 2/3

Sensing Safety & Connection

Understanding Safety in Nervous System Regulation

Do you feel on edge even after a stressful event has passed? Perhaps you've experienced odd physical symptoms, can't find rest or get easily overwhelmed. These are signals that your nervous system is still responding to perceived threat.  

This workshop helps you sense safety within yourself as the first step in regulating your nervous system. You'll learn how to cultivate safety in three domains: within yourself, with others, and in your environment. You'll walk away with a personal toolkit of resources you can always turn to for safety and connection in your life.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this workshop, you will:

• Understand the role of safety in nervous system regulation

• Be able to assess safety versus activation in your own system

• Have practical tools for creating internal safety regardless of external circumstances

• Understand co-regulation and how nervous systems influence each other

• Have identified and tested personal resources that genuinely support your wellbeing

Workshop Activities

• Guided body awareness exercises to sense safety versus activation

• Experience how a sense of safety helps you respond differently in challenging situations

• Co-regulation exercises with partners to experience nervous system connection

• Connect with your environment to come back to the present moment

• Identify your personal toolkit of resources that you can always turn to in daily life

Who This Serves

This series is designed for individuals interested in:

• Understanding stress from a body-based perspective

• Developing practical skills for nervous system regulation

• Learning evidence-based approaches to resilience building

• Exploring alternatives to purely cognitive stress management methods

No previous experience with somatic practices is required. The content is suitable for anyone curious about the connection between body awareness and stress resilience.

Series Introduction & Options

Experiential Learning Program in Nervous System Regulation

Our body has a natural ability to regulate stress. However, many of us learned to override our body signals to push through. This results in chronic stress, burnout and losing our sense of self.

This three-part experiential series helps you reconnect with your body and restore its natural ability to regulate.

Rather than offering generic and cognitive-based advice on stress management, you'll learn how to sense, understand, and guide your body's physiological processes of stress and recovery.

This approach is grounded in neuroscience research and draws from the work of pioneering practitioners like Thomas Hanna, Peter Levine, Bessel van der Kolk, and Manuela Mischke-Reeds.

What You'll Learn

This series provides practical education in:

• Understanding your individual stress response patterns

• Developing body awareness as a foundation for regulation

• Learning to create safety within your nervous system

• Building a toolkit of resources that genuinely support your wellbeing

• Understanding and completing natural stress response cycles
