THE AUTONOMIC COMPASS
Possibly the world’s most sophisticated self-healing platform.
YOU KNOW WHaT A COMPASS Is.
You know what a compass is: an instrument that helps you find your way home if you are lost. Yet a compass doesn’t have to be a metal disc with a needle pointing north, though that’s what most of us think of.
A compass could simply be knowing which side of the trees more lichen grows on. Or which direction the prevailing winds tend to blow. Or the direction of a prominent visible landmark like a mountain.
You can internalize the compass; it doesn’t have to be something out there.
A compass orients you to an environment, even if unknown, and determine the coordinates you need to follow to get home.
Your Autonomic Nervous System contains the most powerful biological levers that govern your direct moment-to-moment experience of wellbeing. And yet most modern people don’t even know what it is.
The guidance of the Autonomic Nervous System is the way that you feel.
Your inner landscape. How it feels to be you. Your voice, your face, your gesture, your posture. How open and available or closed and defended you feel. Whether you have access to flow states or feel shut down.
ASSESS YOUR AuTONOMIC LANDSCAPE
In this work, your body is the site of experimentation and the doorway to ways of knowing.
The Autonomic Compass trains you to understand the landscape of autonomic state: where are you now, and where to do you want to go. It helps you understand and meet the deep needs– for safety, connection, belonging– driving your deepest biology.
Learn the language of these systems through the patterns they present in your body. Learn the primal, elemental, ancestral language of your deep nervous system.
Then identify neural exercises to help you change the inputs to your Autonomic Nervous System, from our library of over 300 practices. Find the intersections between your symptoms, and how you make meaning.
Find the practices that are relevant to your growth and transformation, not some generic cookie-cutter assignment, but the uniquely neurological inputs that your deep nervous system needs for flourishing.
TAILOR PRACTICES TO THE NEEDS OF Your deep nervous system
We change autonomic experience by changing the inputs to our Autonomic Nervous System. And the recipe for flourishing is ancestral. We help you find targeted neural exercises that don’t feel like chores, because they are actually the way that humanity spent 99% of its lineage history living.
Find practices that meet your specific neurological needs. Whether your system is stuck in shutdown, placating, fight, flight, appeasing, or accommodating– we can help you find the understandings and the practices to begin moving the neurological dial on these states in ways that are personally meaningful to you.
Whether your thing is to be alone or with others, to be crafting or in nature, to be on a mountain or in the water…whether you want to communicate better with your partner or speak the language of birds, whether you are seeking relatedness with an element or a honeybee, wanting to learn through your feet or your hands, your heart or your belly– we have practices for you. And as you begin to heal, and can put more of your attention on building safety and connection, we can help you work with every neurological portal to your connection system: the neurobiological foundation of wellbeing.

What people are saying…
“I use the tools FROM the autonomic compass every single day. With myself, with my family, with my clients. Everybody. Every day.”
— Amy Keala
“I'm not even sure how to talk about the healing I experienced in ordinary language. UNBELIEVABLE.”
-Participant (Anonymous)
“This work feels like a foundational piece of wellness and overall health that I feel has long been missing from the medical conversation. I love how it is based in the science of how we function- it is very practical, very direct. I've witnessed its effectiveness with my patients. These are places that I don't think traditional medicine or mental health has succeeded in reaching, and I find this work extremely inspiring and hopeful in its implications for healing.
