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 elucidated by The Somatic Experiencing Trauma Institute, The Polyvagal Theory, and Somatic Science.
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:
- Trauma & Yoga
- Grief & The Body
- Distinguishing Trauma from Grief
- Children, Lockdown Alarms & the Threat Response Cycle
- Vicarious Trauma in Caregiving - Nurses, Attorneys, Therapists
