Each one of us can find a state of regeneration inside of ourselves, for each of our bodies knows how to heal. In this breakout session, we will explore the conditions we must cultivate to allow our bodies to self-heal traumatic stress. Additionally, we will explore how to create and advocate for safety in the bodies of ourselves and those in our community, as we navigate the racial and cultural implications of bodies and nervous systems. Together we will learn somatic (body based) practices for creating a sense of safety inside our bodies. We will learn to recognize our nervous system's attempts to self-regulate. And we will explore how direct communication can be implemented to create a community of body safety for all.
