An invitation to a gathering I am co-facilitating for the Social Sangha in Black Mountain. I am providing the Emotional Resolution portion.
"Finding the Calm Beyond the Storm"
Time/Date: 5:30-7:00 p.m., Monday, Nov. 11, 2024
Learn self-centering skills from Polyvagal Theory and Emotional Resolution
Location: Quietude at 1130 Montreat Rd., Black Mountain, N.C.
Description: We have been affected by Hurricane Helene…our bodies and minds out of sync, disconnected, off balance, knocked off center. That initial phase of numbness, the altered sense of time, forgetfulness, trouble thinking…all so that we can orient towards surviving, living reactively to get by, meeting our basic needs.
As we find ourselves hopefully sheltered, fed, and hydrated - we have survived. Now is the time for recovery; to "Find the Calm After the Storm" and regain our center. Using the knowledge and wisdom of meditation, Polyvagal Theory and Emotional Resolution, we will begin to bring mind and body back to balance and integrate Helene into our life story catalog. Just as everyone’s "story" needs to be heard and validated, every one of our "body stories" needs to be felt and validated. Every sensation, every physical response has to be freely expressed without control, without interruption, without repression and without dismissal for trauma to fully release.
Remaining present helps the body to complete its story. As this chapter of loss and devastation resolves, we start to make space for the next chapters of healing and recovery to begin. When we allow the body to feel, we heal. Let’s sit and heal together!
