Finding Calm Together

In this workshop, we will explore simple explanations of different nervous-system regulation tools, ideas for how we can incorporate them into everyday life, and an opportunity to experience some of the practices together.

The workshop will be approximately two hours long, with a 10–15 minute break in the middle, followed by some time for discussion and questions at the end.

About the facilitator - Michelle

Michelle is a neurospicy Canadian who has called Finland home for many years. With a background in social work, she has a longstanding interest in wellbeing, connection and the ways we can support ourselves and one another through challenging times.

After experiencing severe burnout, Michelle began exploring nervous-system regulation practices as part of her own recovery. Over the past five years, she has independently studied and experimented with a wide range of simple practices for calming, grounding and supporting the nervous system.

Through Finding Calm Together, she hopes to share some of what she has learned in an accessible, down-to-earth way—not as a set of things we should be doing, but as a chance to gently explore what might help each of us feel a little more settled, connected and at home in ourselves.
