Small Group Somatic Coaching

In the course, you will build a community together, learn more about and map out your Autonomic Nervous System, create personal plans for self and co-regulation, learn to be playful and curious, create a resilience routine, and more.

Week 1

Building Community

Building ventral capacity: Introductions, salutations, and greetings.
The practice of noticing and naming your ANS state.

Week 2

Mapping out your Autonomic Nervous System: Part I

How do you experience ventral, dorsal, and sympathetic energy?
Where do you typically live within the Window of Capacity?
The practice of somatically anchoring ventral vagal experiences.

Week 3

Mapping out your Autonomic Nervous System: Part II

Which ANS loops are familiar to you?
Let's create a map of regulating resources that help you to self-regulate and co-regulate based on the ANS loops that are familiar to you.

Week 4

Mapping out your Autonomic Nervous System: Part III

Let's create a map of the triggers that cause you to move around your map, as well as notice how that movement is experienced in your body.
The practice of expanded awareness: noticing and savoring "glimmers and shimmers" of ventral vagal moments throughout one's day.

Week 5

Creating a personal plan for self-regulation and co-regulation

Let's create a map-plan-goals-intentions for continuing self-regulation and co-regulation, so that we can begin to build in more opportunities for expanding our Windows of Capacity.

Week 6

The two main blended states

Attending to play and playfulness, curiosity, wonder, and awe.
Attending to stillness, pendulating between solitude and loneliness.

Week 7

Pendulating with curiosity

Between movement and stillness - between expansion and contraction.
Active social engagement and introspective social engagement.

Week 8

Shaping the nervous system

The idea is to stretch (but not stress) the nervous system - shaping through voice, sound, self-talk, and the voices of supportive others.
Shaping through music - Shaping through breath.
Shaping through movement - Shaping through the environment.

Week 9

Integration

Creating a resilience routine for yourself as you move forward.
Re-storying your current experiences from your ventral nervous system.

Week 10

Ongoing connection

Gratitude, self-compassion, reciprocity, and compassionate communities.
