Learn cool techniques to regulate and integrate your nervous system, helping you feel more relaxed and balanced. Perfect for anyone curious about how your body’s natural wiring affects your health. Come vibe with us and discover the power of your vagus nerve up close!The vagus nerve- the longest nerve in the body, is the primary pathway of your parasympathetic nervous system. It governs your heart rate, breathing, digestion, emotional expression, and your deepest felt sense of safety. When it is toned and flexible, life feels navigable. When it is dysregulated, everything is harder than it should be.During this immersive workshop, we combine somatic bodywork, Polyvagal Theory education, Soma Breathwork, fascial and movement therapies, and hands-on individual sessions to support your nervous system in returning to its natural state of regulation, resilience, and presence.This is not a lecture. This is a lived experience, in your body, through your breath, with your nervous system as the guide.During the workshop You will:Discover the science behind why you feel what you feel, and why it is not a personal failingLearn to recognize your nervous system states and understand what your body is responding toExperience the power of Soma Breathwork as a tool for deep autonomic reset and stored stress releaseReceive an individual hands-on session combining ART, cranial-fascial therapy, Spinal Flow™, and direct vagus nerve activation- all personalized to your bodyPractice coherent breathing- the most evidence-based tool available for building vagal tone and heart rate variabilityReconnect with your body through movement drawn from Dance Movement Therapy, Continuum Movement, and somatic yogaLearn how voice, touch, breath, and movement directly regulate your nervous system and how to use them dailyLeave with a personalized regulation toolkit designed around what worked in your body this weekendTwo Ways to Participate1 or 2-Day Workshop- Saturday & SundayThe complete somatic and educational experienceFor those who wish to receive the full nervous system workshop: individual bodywork, group somatic practices, Soma Breathwork, Polyvagal Theory education, and daily regulation tools.

It teaches us that our reactions are not personal failings- they are adaptive survival responses wired into the body.The three primary states:Ventral Vagal - Safety & Connection- the social engagement system is active. We can connect, think clearly, regulate our emotions, and feel present.Sympathetic- Fight or Flight- the system mobilizes for perceived threat. We may feel anxious, restless, reactive, or unable to settle.Dorsal Vagal- Shutdown & Freeze- when overwhelm becomes too great, the system collapses inward. This can feel like numbness, fatigue, dissociation, or disconnection.Understanding these states transforms the question from "What is wrong with me?" to "What is my nervous system responding to?"These practices, chosen for the weekend, support your nervous system in moving more fluidly between states and returning to a felt sense of safety and ease.Vagus Regulation PracticesPractices across the weekend are drawn from:Breathwork and Coherent breathing -or deep autonomic reset and heart-centered resonance.Dance Movement Therapy- movement as nervous system language and emotional completionContinuum Movement- the body as fluid, living tissueFascial maneuvers and trigger point therapy- releasing where stress is structurally storedActive Release Techniques (ART) -targeted tissue release from chronic holdingSpinal Flow™ - spinal contact points that reset the nervous system through the dural tubeCranial and fascial therapy- listening to the body's deepest rhythmsVoice and prosody work- as direct vagal activationOrienting and somatic awareness practices- completing what stress left unfinishedThe goal is not to eliminate survival responses. It is to build a nervous system that moves fluidly, returns quickly, and meets life from a place of genuine resilience.FacilitatorPaulina Makowska is the co-founder of Touchstone Wellness Center and a somatic practitioner devoted to supporting others in reclaiming a life that feels embodied, authentic, and free.
