Join us for Thrive Soul Hug: Respite for the Nervous System, a hybrid training with trauma-specializing therapist La Shanda Sugg!
There is no shortage of stress in our world. From the continued threats of an ongoing pandemic, inflation and fluctuating economy to unceasing news of death, violence, and suicide, our collective nervous systems are in constant activation (and that's on top of daily life, work, and relational stresses).
Many of us are in desperate need of a space to retreat to that allows a momentary reprieve from the constant onslaught and offers time, space, and guidance to simply 'Be and Breathe'.
We Need a Soul Hug!
This two hour Soul Hug will offer:
A safe space to decompress
Exercises for regulation that can be shared and duplicated
Education about how the brain and body work
A safe space to share vulnerably and receive informed, professional feedback
A moment with no performance expectations - simply a moment for self-connection and community
Group Soul Hugs bring people together in a safe space and are effective at combating the shame and loneliness that often accompany challenging life experiences by uniting folks at the human level.
WHEN? Saturday, January, 20th from 1pm - 3pm
We'll see you IN-PERSON for FUN and a large group discussion with other Pause caregivers! You will enjoy a dessert bar and take home a fun SWAG BAG!
If you are unable to attend in-person we will be LIVE streaming via Zoom as well.
PRO TIP: To get the most out of Thrive: Soul Hug, we recommend attending in-person!
