Rejuvenation and Resilience: Relaxing the Body, Tending the Heart, Resolving Trauma
Description:
Emotional resilience is a key to our health and happiness. Emotions reside in our body. When we are enticed by someone, we may feel like we have butterflies in our stomach, and when we are anxious, feel like we have knots in our stomach. Working directly with the body helps release emotional stress, supporting a relaxed mind and heart.
Using science-backed resilience strategies, we will develop tools for regaining our capacity to meet our challenges with courage, face our fears, and deepen self-compassion and self-care. Benefits of a relaxed nervous system include a more joyful heart, improved sleep, improved digestion, happier relationships, and deeper meditations. A relaxed mind and an open heart enable us to engage with life in meaningful ways, including with spiritually-based climate justice and racial and gender equity activism.
Our time together will include periods of teachings, practices, guided and moving meditation, discussion, and Q&A.
To deepen in these practices beyond this introductory retreat, join Pawan’s 6-week series, Reclaiming our Power: Resolving Trauma and Building Resilience, April 13 – May 18, 2023.
