Date: March 9 – 10, 2019; 10:00am – 4:30pm
Sliding Scale: $150 – 400. Code BF1M19.

Open to all levels.
Description:
At the heart of both Buddhist and Hindu Yoga practices is liberation from suffering, and the awakening of wisdom and universal love. As we work to uproot suffering, we encounter both our personal hindrances and the ancient demons sustained in our communities and cultures: abusive power, oppression, bias and discrimination.
Embodiment as the heart of practice weaves together the healing of individual and collective traumas. In this study and practice weekend, we will explore nervous system physiology, individual practice and collective action, and connection to suffering and its alleviation as an integral expression of the Buddhist path.
Teachings are appropriate for health care professionals as well as the general public. Health care professionals will be able to incorporate the tools and practices offered in this program in ways beneficial to clients or patients. Through discussion, as well as contemplative and embodied wisdom practices, health care providers will learn tools to redirect the sympathetic nervous systems when activated by trauma, and reestablish homeostasis. Care providers will be able to better work with both inner and outer conflicts, and share these perspectives with their patients and clients. Continuing Education (CE) credit available. See below for attendance requirements and more information.
Learning Objectives for participating health care professionals-
Based on the content of this program, you will be able to:
- Describe conditions that support or impede access to the body through sensation, the role of sensation tracking in nervous system regulation, and contraindications for sensation tracking as a clinical intervention;
- Describe the physiological effect of trauma on the nervous system;
- Describe how cultural factors contribute to the persistence of trauma symptoms, especially for people and communities subject to systemic oppression;
- Discuss how cultural conditioning results in unconscious bias and habitual reactivity, perpetuating systemic oppression as well as stress and anxiety.
