Getting To Know Your Nervous System
Next Workshop
April 11, 2026 from 9:00am to 12:00pm
Gather Wellness Center in Lyman, ME
This experiential workshop offers a grounding introduction to the autonomic nervous system. Through a blend of gentle movement, breath work, and guided meditation, you’ll learn how to recognize the signals your body sends in moments of stress and calm. We’ll explore the five primary defensive states (fight, flight, freeze, fawn, and flop) and how they show up in everyday life.
By developing awareness of these patterns, you’ll begin to understand your body’s unique rhythms and responses and build the capacity to shift toward regulation with greater ease. Together, we’ll practice tools for settling the nervous system and nurturing a compassionate connection with yourself.
