Our deepest human need is to be in connection with ourselves, safe others, and the natural world. Since this is not always possible, how do we gauge which practices are important for us when we are disconnected?  And what do we practice to enhance and extend connection when it is present?

In this workshop these questions will guide us to explore where we (and our students) are in our nervous systems and what practices might return us to connection.  It makes sense that someone who is afraid and anxious might need something different than someone who is collapsed and dissociative.  And, because we are complicated humans, we won’t assume that “this” meditation is for “that” state, but we will have some starting places and experiment from there. As always, the experiences of the people in the group will inform our learning.  There will be brief reminders of some basic PVT principles and practices we have done in other workshops, but almost all the material for this workshop will be new.

I believe that one of the reasons people stop meditating, even though we “know” it’s good for us is because we are not using the right practices for our needs.  Discover what might help you enjoy and want to make time for these powerful practices. 

This program is available online and livestream.  If you are not able to be in person but would like the recording, please sign up for livestream.
