Resourcing our Nervous Systems: Simple Practices for Turbulent Times

Join Zoo Labs on Thurs, 11/13 for an inspiring lunchtime session with Alison Lin: Resourcing our Nervous Systems: Simple Practices for Turbulent Times

Join us for an interactive session in which we’ll practice being in intentional conversation with our nervous systems to increase our presence and ability to call upon our wisdom and deepen our creativity in these turbulent times. Within a frame of collective liberation, we’ll try on different simple practices and assess which ones work for you and consider how we might integrate these in leadership, creative practices and daily life.

Please bring with you a soft cloth and something that you like to smell (coffee beans, essential oils, vicks, etc).

If you're feeling overwhelmed or stressed out, give yourself the gift of taking an hour for self-care. Learn tools to resource yourself so you can show up for your creative practice and your community.
