The Anatomy of Vitality
Tom Myers
Tune yourself for this uniquely straining time via a dynamic and interactive tour with Anatomy Trains cartographer and author Tom Myers. Spark your curiosity with a startling view of all our systems’ interactions with fascia, coupled with nourishing and revitalising self-massage for head, neck, jaw, hands and ears. Learn simple breathwork practices to invite recovery and centering. The session concludes with ‘bodyreading’ practice - how to visually assess posture (yours or clients’) in terms of the ' myofascial meridians', and how to apply your own approach through the Anatomy Trains lens.
Life is increasingly volatile and uncertain. So we need to develop psychological strengths such as grit, gratitude, and compassion. This unshakable core is the essence of resilience, and the foundation of lasting well-being in a changing world.
The Realization Process is a direct path to embodied non-dual awakening. It is a series of powerful but gentle, precise attunement practices for realizing your own nature as fundamental consciousness– an undivided expanse of luminous transparency, pervading your body and environment as a unity.
Healing trauma with somatic tools we can use with our clients, ourselves, and those we love
Trauma can stay with us long after a threat is gone. Trauma can fragment the continuity of our experience and embed itself into our bodies and our minds. Even after years of talk therapy and medication, the effects of trauma sometimes still linger. In this presentation, Dr. Albert Wong will share how to heal trauma from a somatic perspective, including tools we can use with our clients, ourselves, and those we love.
Meditation is supposed to help us become more compassionate, to heal various mental health problems in adults and children, to work for the mind like going to the gym works for the body, to very rarely have side effects, and to be a recipe for a happy life according to most spiritual traditions. In this talk, I will unpack these beliefs, trace their development, and tease out what is fact from fiction about the effects of meditation.

Embodiment Through the Lens of the Polyvagal Theory
Stephen Porges
Somatic Experiencing® (SE™) is a body-oriented approach to the healing of trauma and other stress related disorders that was developed by Peter A Levine, PhD. The SE approach, based on the Polyvagal Theory, addresses the root cause of trauma symptoms by gently facilitating the release of trapped survival energy that was bound in the body during a trauma response of fight, flight, freeze, or collapse. Together, we will explore the implications of Body-oriented psychotherapy and recent findings in neuroscience.

It is more than permission. The Wheel shows you who is giving, who is receiving, when to be generous and when to be selfish and how to know the difference. It is a path to fun and integrity. Then, for those who like to 'geek out' on these things, we look in-depth at the four quadrants of Receiving, Giving, Taking and Allowing - how they apply to touch and to your life, and how they set you free.
