Friday August 29, 2025: 7 to 10 am PDT– The Autonomic Composition of Elite Performance

Friday August 19, 7 am to 10 am pm PDT (10 am - 1 pm EST)(-7 hours GMT)

Join Natureza Gabriel for a 3-hour deep-dive into living Autonomics with a focus on autonomic composition for elite performance.

We are on the threshold of publishing our first white paper on Autonomics: Towards an Accurate In Vivo Reconceptualizing of Autonomic State.

Autonomic Composition is a term we have coined around the refined notation of our autonomic presets. Using our new foundation model in Autonomics, we are able to quantify autonomic state with a level of precision that was not previously possible. In this training we are looking specifically at the varying modes of Autonomic Composition for elite performers. As an athlete, leader, or performer, our deepest flow states are connected directly to autonomics. Understanding how our particular body-mind composes our own highest performing states adds a dimension of agency to finding, sustaining, and reproducing our highest levels of performance.

All salutogenic (health-creating) autonomic states coordinate all three autonomic systems: your Connection, Movement, and Grounding Systems. Yet the composition of each person's individual balance of neurology and neurochemistry is different. Some people need to have more of the center of gravity of their autonomic systems in Connection, some need it in Grounding, and some need it in Movement. Mapping this for yourself gives you a window into becoming more agentic about how to construct and maintain your own zone of elite performance.

You will leave the training with a personalized map of the components of your own autonomic composition for elite performance.

This training is appropriate for: interested laypeople, athletes, elite performers, coaches, and wellness professionals of all kinds.

I will draw from two texts in this teaching: Autonomic Compass, and The Neurobiology of Connection (digital version here).
