Hi! My name is Kevin Lanoue, and I am an Organic Intelligence(R) Practitioner based in Tucson, Arizona.
Thank you for your interest in this workshop (which will include presentation, discussion, Q&A, and experiential learning). Herbal tea & light snacks will be provided; feel free to bring yourself additional eats for the lunch break if you’d like!
For six & a half years now, I have worked with folks in individual sessions and in group formats in residential treatment centers here in Tucson. I support their feeling better while emerging from their experiences of things with labels such as depression, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, and addiction. I’m ever grateful for the gifts of connection and wisdom that residents have shared with me.
My favorite question to ask residents as they are transitioning from their time in treatment is: What has been most helpful for you (what is making a difference)?
This workshop is intended as an introduction to useful frameworks and somatic practices around
nervous system regulation so that we can sustainably support ourselves and each other.
Topics will include: the evolution and biology of our nervous systems; complex systems and contexts for change; bio-behavioral aspects of flight, fight, fawn, and freeze, and how they prefer to be met; polyvagal theory; gentle exploratory somatic practices; self-regulation and co-regulation; cultivating felt sense awareness; and more.
