Our nervous systems are doing an amazing, never-ending job of protecting us from stress, distress, and overwhelm in everyday life. In this workshop, we’ll explore different somatic practices to support our hard working nervous systems.
Some practices we’ll explore: Supportive Holds, Breathing Practices, Pendulation, and Resourcing.
Join us to practice in community and learn resourcing tools to support your well-being!
After a Lineage training, staff at a community development organization in the Bronx responded to the question:
How do you think your workplace would change if mindfulness practices were incorporated into your organization's daily culture?
“Lineage Project stands out as an organization that uses a social justice lens. As a Mindfulness Mentor, I train teachers in private and public schools to bring mindfulness into their classrooms, and I also work with youth. The Lineage training was hugely beneficial for me in that it offered a trauma-informed model for working with people who’ve experienced the trauma of racism, poverty, and marginalization.” —Training participant Shea Riester, Mindfulness Mentor, Mindful Schools NYC
“A great combination of experiential and instructional offerings. The Lineage teachers showed up as beacons of information and experience, while welcoming the knowledge and experience of participants. I learned that trauma-conscious teaching is not a formula, but that there are some clear dos and don’ts.” —Youth Development Worker
