Vagal Toning & Empathy Circle

Open to anyone curious about nervous system awareness, relational presence, or practicing empathy in community.

1) 40-minute guided vagal toning practice:

Through poetry, breath, movement, sound and touch, we slow down to explore ways to notice and support our nervous systems.

The invitations are toward warmth, ease, and giving yourself permission to follow what feels right at your own pace.

You might find yourself:

• Sensing your body’s rhythms

• Connecting with breath and movement

• Vocalizing, self-havening, or noticing small glimmers of resource that deepen into glows

2) 50-minute empathy circle

Here we may:

• Slow down our sharing

• Listen to understand

• Coregulate in a field of reflection, resonance, and mutual empathy

This is a chance to practice presence, strengthen connection, and explore the impact of co-creating a structure that supports mutual empathy in community.
