Wired for Connection: Co-Regulation, Interdependence, and the Nervous System Wisdom (In-Person)
This two-part workshop explores the science and practice of co-regulation and interdependence through the lens of the nervous system.
In Part One, we’ll unpack how our bodies lead in connection and how we instinctively attune, protect, or withdraw based on internal states. Through psychoeducation and gentle embodiment exercises, participants will gain tools to recognize their own regulation patterns and cues. Together, we’ll hold space for the truth that while self-awareness matters, we regulate best in connection. Blending neuroscience, relational insight, and body-based practices to support grounded leadership, relational attunement, and compassionate interdependence.
In Part Two, we turn toward relationship and how healing and resilience are supported not just by self-regulation, but by safe, reciprocal connection. Through various practices, guided reflection, and open dialogue, we’ll explore the power of presence, shared safety, and leading with the nervous system rather than overriding it. Come as you are – this space invites learning, unlearning, and being human.
Part two will be offered on Thursday, January 22, 2026 from 6:30 – 8:30 pm
