Anxiety: It’s Not All in Your Mind, Resourcing the Body Somatically
Description:
Anxiety has many root causes ranging from the psychological to the physiological to the historical. No matter the origin, the distress and discomfort are palpable and understandable.
This workshop will explore a variety of ways to approach, meet and be with anxiety as it presents in the body – along with a cultivation of kind understanding about the mental and emotional challenges it presents.
Along with meditation, we’ll soothe the nervous system, and learn to read the signals of anxiety in the body, before they take hold of the mind. This day retreat is open to everyone.
All are welcome! No one will be turned away for lack of funds as space allows. For more information, please email Registration@spiritrock.org.
