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.

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.”

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).
