Resilience and the Open Heart: Somatic Practices for Everyday Stress
9 CE Credits. You are invited to move from anxiety to love by transforming stress patterns through embodied heart practices. Working directly with triggers such as personal heartbreak, economic pressure, relational conflict, or the weight of the climate crisis, we will combine nervous system tools with heart practices to lower the simmering nervous system. As the heart opens and the body softens, many experience deeper rest, clearer thinking, a renewed sense of connection to loved ones, and courage to live a more meaningful life.
