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.

ABOUT THIS TRAINING

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.

WHO SHOULD APPLY

No prerequisites

No prerequisites. Short application required. For parents, teachers and practitioners who work with children.

Every Hearth Science training asks for an application, so that each cohort is a group of people who chose to be there and were chosen.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“When I study with Gabriel it requires my total attention. I am unlearning at basically the same velocity that I am learning. I am watching ideas fall apart and reconfigure before me in realtime.”

LECTURE SERIES ⌖ MONTHLY SESSIONS THROUGH MARCH 2027

Architecture & Dynamics of the Living Autonomic Nervous System

RESERVE A SEAT →

A deep dive into the intellectual history of autonomic science, this lecture series reaches back to the origins of the field nearly 2,000 years ago in ancient Rome, exploring how category errors in its foundations have infiltrated the modern view of the nervous system. Asks the big questions – why do you have a nervous system? What is stress? What is wellbeing? Redraws the neuro-anatomical maps of your autonomic nervous system from first principles. Modifies how we understand the ways that they coordinate and de-coordinate. Breaks the stasis in the Polyvagal Controversy.

Yearlong Autonomics Practicum

LEARN MORE →

Our deepest yearlong training in the art & science of Autonomics. The deepest dive into our pedagogical model: neural cartography, transformation of the ANS, autonomic tracking. For practitioners interested in centralizing the living nervous system in their practice.

Retreats & Residential Trainings

VIEW DATES →

From trainings at our headquarters Northern California (45 minutes NW of San Francisco), to Omega Institute for Holistic Studies (Gabriel is faculty), to trainings at our new hosting venue in Northwest Italy (fly into Milan).
