Join us on April 5 & 26 for Somatic Regulation Skills, with Radical Rest (virtual event)!
Embodiment skills for nervous system regulation and relaxation
For folks of color, everyday can be a stressful maze of microaggressions and structural barriers on top of daily life stressors. The constant barrage of chronic stress can take its toll. It contributes to our high rates of chronic illness and early death, especially for Indigenous, Black and Latinx folks. Enough is enough.
We cannot solely wait for institutional or policy changes to improve the experience of our health and wellbeing. Empowering ourselves with scientifically based, trauma-informed practices to build ease, groundedness, rest and insight in our bodies is not only possible, it is easily available to us. Radical Rest and Sankofa Counseling partner to bring some of these practices to our BIPOC community FOR FREE!
In Grounded: Body Based Practices for Regulation and Wellbeing, we will learn simple skills and movement practices to "hack" the nervous system. Some of these practices are ancestral technologies while others are contemporary explorations developed from trauma neuroscience. Led by Radical Rest's Primary Facilitator, T. Aisha Edwards, LMHC, in each hour and a half long lesson, we will do 1-2 practices with a little learning and discussion.
You are encouraged to prepare by having a relatively quiet location that can allow you to center your attention. You will need a space on the floor to move around on and blankets, pillows and a yoga mat if you have one.
