Feeling like you need a little boost in your internal capacity, and want some knowledge and tools to help you get there? This webinar series is for you.

Editor’s Note: We’ve added two webinars to this series to help artists and organization prioritize well-being.

How do we stay steady when the world feels unsteady?

How do we tend to our nervous systems while living through times that feel overwhelming, violent, unjust, or uncertain? And how can we reduce risk of experiencing long-term impacts of trauma while living through actively traumatic situations?

For artists and creative leaders, these questions aren’t abstract. Our work asks us to stay present, to feel deeply, respond honestly, and remain open to possibility, even when grief, fear, and rage are close at hand.

If you’re feeling like you need a boost in your internal capacity and want some help to get there, this workshop from Fynix Sun Park of Voice of Purpose is here for you.

Fynix will lead attendees through exercises that explore how to self-regulate when the world is on fire and co-regulate for our collective healing. Because we need all the tools, and all of us, right now.

Note: This series will include physical movement and internal reflection. We recommend finding a space where you feel comfortable to move and express freely. You may want to have a journal and water bottle nearby.

When the world feels overwhelming, our bodies often carry the weight before our minds catch up. In this opening session, Fynix Sun Park introduces somatic practices and nervous system awareness to help you stay grounded, regulated, and resourced so you can show up fully for yourself and your community.
