You will gain an understanding of our body's role in psychological survival, the mediating role of our nervous systems and the role & nature of memories. We will also explore ways of healing and moderating the impact of trauma on our bodies, and how this can support our minds. We are social animals, and you will learn how together there is a path to co-regulation and collective healing. The talk also includes some incredible research on how art can impact the nervous systems of traumatised communities.
Doors open at 7pm, talk starts at 7.30pm - come down early to grab a good seat!
