This workshop was conceived by Patrizia Belardi to explore the autonomic nervous system and make it an ally in a pleasant and playful way, combining depth of experience with lightness.
Over two days, through a simple theoretical introduction and practical experiences in nature and in water, participants can refine self-regulation and co-regulation within the relationship with themselves and others.
How it unfolds
The workshop begins on Saturday afternoon at a bio-architecture centre in the hills of La Spezia, where participants may stay overnight. A brief theoretical introduction and experiential games based on Polyvagal Theory will be offered.
On Sunday, a walk in nature will allow participants to feel the “dance” of the systems through the earth and experience nature as a resource for co-regulation. In the afternoon, in a heated pool, participants will experience what happens when the protective system comes to rest, allowing a trusting surrender into the arms of the water.
