Betsy Polatin will explore with us how Trauma affects Support, Suspension, and Breath. Trauma tends to fragment and/or diminish our sense of self. This experiential presentation will offer simple exercises to enhance sensory skills by exploring the musculoskeletal, respiratory, and nervous systems, and how they relate to the larger universe, and to trauma. Learn to awaken inherent potential by finding the support from the ground that can lead to full stature and the expanded Self, while noting how trauma and overwhelm can interfere with this process. Session will include live demos with participants.
