We dive into:

• A gorgeous grounding exercise to invoke ourselves into this healing conversation
• The more stress we experience the less embodied we tend to be.
• How do we come up for air, when deeply feeling into the nightmares of the world?
• The importance of practicing connecting to create safe spaces and co-regulate. 

• The body has the capacity to release stress and anxiety far more effortlessly than the mind: SHAKE IT OFF.
• Humans have done this for AGES: our ancestors regularly shook their bodies in dance, ceremony, and regulation. Let us remember!
• Dr. Fatemi prescribes us a dance party, and Dr. Noshene plays DJ
• How mighty we are as individuals, and especially as a collective.
• Dance + shake exercise
• Meditation
• So much LOVE
