Trauma-Conscious Mindfulness & Somatics

Sunday, September 25th from 10am - 12pm EST

How can we make sure we are practicing and/or teaching in a way that is in alignment with the basic principles of trauma informed care? By drawing on the learnings from the previous two Deep Dives, we will begin to weave together how we can support ourselves and others with trauma conscious mindfulness and somatic practices. Mindfulness practices can be broadly defined as practices that bring compassionate curious attention to what is happening in the present moment. Somatic practices help us attune to our bodies’ sensations, vibes and emotions in a way that can support the nervous system. 

We’ll dedicate time to experiential learning so that we can get a sense of what trauma-conscious mindfulness and somatic practices can look and feel like in the body. We will explore how this embodiment can help us to grow, play, dream, and hope.
