We invite you to join us this winter to explore and support your autonomic nervous system. The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) created by Stephen Porges (Polyvagal Theory) offers an opportunity to create emotional and mental flexibility so that we can respond to the challenges and joys of everyday life. This offering is a six-week online listening group. We aim to create a safe and supportive space with the option to connect with others while engaging in the SSP. During each session, we will highlight an engaging, regulating resource to enhance your experience and promote resilience.
What to Expect
Each session will follow a similar structure:
Welcome & Check-in: We'll start with a brief welcome and an opportunity for everyone to share how they're feeling.
SSP Listening: We'll learn the nuts and bolts of the program and listen to the SSP music together.
Regulation/Art Activity: We will offer an array of mindful coloring, drawing, and other creative expressions. You’ll have the option to use what resonates with you during the listening session.
Sharing & Reflection: After the music, we'll have an optional sharing and reflection time. You can share your creations, your experiences, or anything else that comes up for you.
Closing: We’ll offer suggestions for independent listening during the week.
In addition, Alexis and Tove will offer weekly drop-in listening sessions. These are optional for participants.
