Autonomics Boot Camp - January 2025

This is a 5-session, 10-teaching-hour Autonomics bootcamp with the founder of Hearth Science, Natureza Gabriel. This is designed as a concise accelerated course of study in the foundation model of Autonomics for wellness professionals interested in deepening their lens on Autonomic physiology.

We will be teaching the principal frameworks of autonomic physiology that we have spent the past 30 years organizing into a living map.

Topics will include:

• • how necrotic anatomy (cadaver dissection), the hegemony of the visual, and brain-centric bias has denatured our understanding of living neurology
• • how neurology's failure to distinguish neurology from neurochemistry has led to inaccurate understanding of autonomic systems
• • how autonomic neurology coordinates and de-coordinates in the presence of safety signals
• • how Autonomics function in a spiral or a circle, not as a ladder
• • how we can intervene in three dimensions (neuroception, neurology, chemistry) to help shift people out of maladaptive states
• • how we can focus on health-creating (salugenic) states through activating the neurobiology of connection

Our objective here is to offer a more clinically-refined and accelerated course of study for people wishing to engage with and apply our work in more sophisticated ways.

This is not a course for people brand new to our work.

It will presume a background in autonomic physiology and/or Polyvagal Theory.

It is appropriate for

• • people who have already studied our work, but have not completed a semester-long seminar
• • wellness professionals who already have a strong background in Polyvagal Theory, and are seeking to understand precisely how Autonomics reconfigures it
• • people who have participated in our semester-long seminars and are looking for a consolidated review of the foundation model of Autonomics
• • people preparing for our two-year clinical program who want to make sure they are coming in with the most precise understanding of theory

We will make use of two texts:
The Neurobiology of Connection, and Hearth Science. You are strongly encouraged to read The Neurobiology of Connection before we start. Hearth Science we will make use of in discrete ways.
