In this 5-day depth transformational retreat with Natureza Gabriel and Marcia Miller, a yoga teacher with nearly 50 years of experience, we will deep dive into restoration and resilience for practitioners.
As wellness providers, we often draw from a deep reservior of self-fullness in order to be present with and accompany our patients and clients. Yet as client acuity increases, we run increasing risks of experiencing vicarious trauma, as well as being depleted in fundamental ways by our work with others.
This training is meant to provide a forum for practitioners to both seek deep restoration, and explore how to build restorative process and practice more foundationally into their work serving patients and clients. It will deeply focus on the neurobiology of connection, and movement with Marcia, who has 50 years as a teacher of yoga and mindful movement for restoration.
Gabriel will teach the neurobiology of connection, scaffolded on his forthcoming book, The Neurobiology of Connectionand its associated Foundation Model of Autonomics. Based on 30 years of research, crowd-sourced with more than 15,000 participants in 50 countries, co-created with input from more than 100 advisors in 25 disciplines of wellbeing across 24 cultures (many of them Indigenous), including a dozen of the world’s leading experts in connection and wellbeing, the Foundation Model unites the cutting-edges of autonomic physiology, neurochemistry, and ancestral lifeways into a living map of embodied autonomic states. Fluency in this map teaches humans how to locate themselves in the foundation layer of physiology that governs visceral state, sense of self, emotions, cognitions, the way we perceive the world around us, and the behavioral repertoires available to us. It teaches us how to transform from living in defensive states (fight, flight, appease, freeze, shutdown), which are necessarily pathogenic, into connection states that are salugenic (e.g., health-creating.)
