"Stay close to any sounds that make you glad you are alive.” — Hafiz
Synopsis: A deep dive into the heart of nervous system regulation using the power of sound and the vibrant, resonant silence that accompanies it.
Description:
Join me for a deep dive into the heart of nervous system regulation using the power of sound and the vibrant, resonant silence that accompanies it.
Through a weekend of immersion in nature, supportive community and simple yet powerful soundbased contemplative practices, you will discover ways to soothe and nourish your autonomic nervous system, so that you feel grounded, rested, resourced and more deeply connected with yourself, others and the world around you.
Our time together will provide opportunities for both self- and co-regulation, featuring sound journeys with guided meditation and singing bowls, gentle practices of humming, singing and mantra-based lullabies, and a transformative exploration of the unique map of your own nervous system using the wisdom of polyvagal theory. There will also be solo time for journalling, walking the beautiful trails, practicing yoga asana, or sitting quietly in the inspiring silence!
Come alone, or share this rejuvenating weekend with a friend. All are welcome!

Biography :
I am an artist, musician, facilitation trainer and change-maker. I am passionate about creating spaces where we can connect in transformative and meaningful ways with ourselves, others and the world around us. My daily practices include yoga, meditation, writing, singing, hiking, cooking, cuddling, day-dreaming and drinking hot steamy tea. I live in a small house with lots of sunlight and two fuzzy friends (one human and one feline!) in rural Nova Scotia, Canada.
