Balancing the Nervous System: rest, readiness and action

Saturday 15th December

2-5pm

$40

Come and experience the nervous system as a responsive, dynamic network of communication, awareness and learning, through guided movement exploration, experiential anatomy and hands-on support. Based in Body-Mind Centering®, this workshop will introduce embodied approaches to exploring the nervous system, including the head, heart and belly ‘brains’, sensory/motor flows, and autonomic rhythms of rest and alertness. This work helps support the release of excess tension by calibrating states of rest, readiness and action. Support your nervous system with mindful attention - it’s a great way to finish the year!

Body-Mind Centering (BMCsm) is a highly experiential approach to inhabiting the lively and responsive territory of our body-minds. Based in embodied anatomy, physiology and embryology, BMC recognizes the interdependent, developmental and creative nature of being a human being in the world.
