Living the Neurobiology of Connection

IntroductoryHosted by Hearth Science

A 3-day dive into the autonomics model, with a particular focus on living the neurobiology of connection. We’ll explore what the autonomic nervous system is, how and why it works the way it does, how our moment-to-moment experiences of safety, danger and life threat govern the evocation of autonomic states, and how we can change the inputs to our deep nervous system to provide more safety, connection and wellbeing.

Fri–Sun, April 30 – May 2, 2027 · 9 am Friday to 4 pm Sunday

LENGTH

3 days

Autonomic and Interoceptive Tracking Retreat

IntermediateHosted by Hearth Science

This is our 5-day deep dive into autonomic and interoceptive tracking. It is the North American capstone retreat for the Yearlong Autonomics Practicum, so half the seats are reserved for people in that training. The remaining seats are for people who have studied this work before and/or have instructor approval. This is a training, not a healing retreat: you should already have done significant work on your own autonomic nervous system.

Autonomics for Kids

IntroductoryHosted by Hearth Science

For the past year, we’ve collaborated with a homeschool in Italy to explore what autonomics can bring to children’s education. Natureza Gabriel teaches with Chiara Cerli and Martin Vachon, co-founders of a nature-based elementary school in northwestern Italy. For parents, teachers and practitioners: anyone who wants to understand more deeply how to apply these skills to and with children.

The Perinatal Autonomic Cascade

AdvancedHosted by Hearth Science

At the most fundamental level, birth is a transition from marine to terrestrial existence. In the first moments and hours after birth, a precisely ordered series of neurological and neurochemical changes initializes the cardiovascular, respiratory, gravitational and visceral systems, each stage depending on the one before, and all of it sensitive to oxytocin. Disruption can leave incomplete initialization in the autonomic architecture across the lifespan. This workshop presents the model and explores facilitating the cascade itself through refined autonomic tracking and facilitatory work.

Autonomics Meets Embodiment Practice

IntroductoryHosted by Hearth Science

In our second training in Columbus, Ohio, we continue deepening participants’ familiarity with the autonomics model and the neural cartography of states, and explore how the model informs embodiment practices, with a particular focus on yoga. This retreat is general and introductory. A background in yoga or a nervous system practice is a good place to start; we are also glad to welcome people who have neither, though some of the terminology may be specialized.

WHEN

Fri–Sun, September 24–26, 2027 · 9 am Friday to 4 pm Sunday
