We are highly evolved, adaptable, social, intelligent, emotional and playful animals! How we experience the world and ourselves often depends on how safe we feel. At times we need to be defensive and protective, in other moments we feel safe enough to be open and playful. This workshop is a gentle introduction to various exercises that guide us to the physical reality of safety, inspired by my experience of running retreats, and by Stephen Porges' Polyvagal Theory.
