We are built for connection and intended for joy. Biologically this is fact, and our spiritual nature points to the same. In this module we examine the neuroscience of feeling safe in connection with others, and how we can promote a felt-sense of safety within ourselves and others. This work is primarily informed by Polyvagal Theory and the works of the great Dr. Stephen Porges. Our social wellness greatly depends on our nervous system wellness, and together we will learn how to increase both.

We will gain an intellectual understanding of the human social engagement system, and we will experience 3 short mindfulness meditation practices to support us in increasing healthy social engagement.

There are two ways mindfulness practices can impact youth. One way is through explicit teachings of mindfulness practices. The other is through the embodied nervous system of the adults with whom youth join. In this learning module we will explore how to be skillful with both, as we learn from neuroscience to support our understanding of how mindfulness practices “work” in the nervous system, and also engage mindfulness practices that invites us into the experience. There is great power in the felt-sense of regulation and wellbeing, and together we’ll explore ways to experience this with youth.

In this Workshop you will explore the power of self-talk. The average person has about 12,000 to 60,000 thoughts per day. 80% of our thoughts are negative. 95% of our thoughts are repetitive. Self-talk has been shown to have an impact on our physical and mental health. While self-talk research is ongoing, research outcomes indicate that redirecting negative thoughts toward the positive may lead to: increased life span, improved cognitive functioning, lower rates of depression and anxiety as well as lower levels of distress.

Positive self-talk can not only improve our mental health, it also has the power to improve our physical health. In this course, you will assess your inner dialogue and explore the impact of negative and positive self-talk on your health/wellness. You will learn strategies to notice, assess, challenge and replace negative self-talk with positive self-talk to promote health and wellbeing.
