NeuroYoga: From Primitive Roots to Modern Resilience

Dive into the intricate world of our nervous system with “NeuroYoga: From Primitive Roots to Modern Resilience,” a transformative workshop designed to bridge the gap between Western medical science and Eastern yogic philosophy. This unique session embarks on a journey through time, exploring the evolution of the human nervous system from the days of our ancient ancestors to the complexities of contemporary life.

Participants will gain a deep understanding of how our nervous systems have adapted over millennia, the role of emotions and their impact when left unprocessed, and the intricate stories embedded within our subconscious mind. The workshop will delve into the four foundational emotions, unraveling the connections between our physiological responses and psychological narratives.

Through an engaging blend of scientific insights and yogic wisdom, “NeuroYoga” offers a holistic perspective on the fight-or-flight response, highlighting the challenges of emotional processing within this state. The session will explore the critical links between the fascial system, the nervous system, and the immune system, shedding light on how trauma affects our bodily systems in an interconnected manner.

By the end of this workshop, participants will emerge with a richer understanding of their own bodies and minds, equipped with practical tools and knowledge to foster emotional resilience, physical health, and a deeper sense of inner harmony. Join us on this enlightening journey to unlock the secrets of your nervous system and transform the way you navigate the world.

CACAO CEREMONY

Start the day with an open mind and heart in community. Together we will journey with this incredible plant medicine (aka superfood) while setting intention and expanding your level of transformation and depth in this retreat. Cacao circle has become a centipede of routine and ritual for self care that supports us in remaining centered, connected to our hearts and living intentionally. My own process of working with cacao is interwoven with embodiment, creative expression, and many other healing modalities that have supported me in navigating my own losses, pain, and suffering. Along the way, I have found healing and connection to myself, experienced depth and healing in my family lines, and discovered deeper connection with the elements, land, and ecology that I hadn’t experienced before. I believe you can find the same: cacao has the potential to be a guide and gateway to help each one of us embrace the compass and depth of our heart as a starting point for profound healing and remembrance. Together we will learn the history of cacao, as well as the medically proven benefits and structure of this heart opening (vasodilating) compound, as well as meditate, share and evolve in community.

Workshop is 2 hours. Price is $50.

PACKAGE PRICE: For all 4 workshops is $150.
