Your Nervous System Is Talking: How to Listen, Respond, and Find Your Way Back to Calm
Our nervous systems are quietly and powerfully working on our behalf every moment of every day—shaping how we think, feel, connect, rest, protect, and move through the world. Yet many of us were never taught how to understand the language of our own bodies, recognize states like fight, flight, or freeze, or gently work with our nervous systems rather than against them.
Join us for a grounded and compassionate conversation exploring the basics of the nervous system: what happens in moments of activation, how to recognize common states of stress, heightened emotion, and shut-down, and how to move toward greater calm, self-regulation, and connection. This seminar will be presented by Abby Ellis, MACP and Resident in Counseling.
CLERGY CONNECTIONS
Join us every third Tuesday at 8:30 a.m. for our monthly Clergy Connections meeting in-person or via Zoom!
