Movement is medicine and a pathway to restoration, empowerment and belonging. This 2-day play shop includes a theoretical overview of the presenter’s Polyvagal-informed Somatic and Dance/Movement Therapy approach to working with trauma. This unique application of embodied Polyvagal Theory sits at the crossroads of science and Spirit and incorporates a multiplicity of wisdom streams. Participants will integrate embodied theory with practices they can immediately apply to promote their own resilience and to support empowerment and liberation in their work with trauma survivors.
Participants will learn:
• The distinction between Polyvagal Theory and Polyvagal-informed practice • The theoretical underpinnings of Polyvagal-informed Dance/Movement Therapy • Ways to promote relative safety for survivors of trauma and embodied resilience for therapists • Body-based regulation practices for clients and therapists incorporating rhythm, breath, sound and movement • Polyvagal-informed wisdom for navigating grief and loss secondary to trauma
Morning tea, coffee and snacks will be provided. BYO lunch.
If you have not experienced the work of Amber Gray, we urge you to join us for what will be an unforgettable experience.
