Being+human workshops
YTTs, Schools, Hospitals
Since 2019, Monique has been educating groups of humans on the nuances and science of trauma and the body through organized, exploratory education.
This is experiential education utilizing a direct approach founded on the science of human healing and connection as illuminated by Somatic Science ® and The Polyvagal Theory.
Workshops are rooted in polyvagal principles and structures as well as neurobiological understandings and practices. We learn together and each person tests and confirms their own truth.
An embodied understanding of our own neurobiology and capacity for regulation allows us to show up fully human for ourselves and for the humans in our care. It also tethers our human to our being, allowing us to glimpse our essential self, sometimes for the first time.
Each workshop is tailored to the specific group, however topics of interest may be:
- False Alarm, Real Response: Understanding the Threat Response Cycle in Children During & After School Lockdown Alarms
- Their Story in Our Bodies: Empowering Nurses, Attorneys & Therapists to Sustainably Navigate Vicarious Trauma
- Reclaiming Our Physiology: Navigating the Threat Response Cycle in ACA Group Work
- Trauma & Yoga: Bridging Somatic Awareness & Trauma Sensitivity as Yoga Teachers
- Move With Grief: The Importance of Somatic Support During Grief
