Session 6: How to Calm Your Nervous System in These Trying Times

Tuesday, March 28, 6:00pm-8:50pm

Presenters:

Description:

Sustainability is hard. Working to ensure fair treatment of all organisms can take a toll on you. Combine that with the ambient anxiety of a post-COVID, high-anxiety news cycle and all the pressures of work or school can result in an overactive fear response, and a keyed-up parasympathetic nervous system. Fortunately there are ways to ease that struggle. In this workshop, Emerson alum Shekinah-Glory Beepat ’16 will take you through some guided movements and processes to help take your nervous system off guard, and to relax you in a profound and lasting way. Come prepared to lie on the floor if you’re able, and wear loose-fitting clothes suitable for gentle movements.
