Saturday March 22, 2025: 10 am to 1 pm PDT - Embodiment and the Deep Nervous System with Marcia Miller

Saturday March 22, 10 am to 1 pm PDT (1 pm - 4 pm EST)(-8 hours GMT)

Join Yoga and Movement pioneer Marcia Miller and Natureza Gabriel for a 3-hour deep-dive into embodiment through the doorway of the deep nervous system.
We will walk through the Foundation Model of Autonomics in an organized fashion.
Gabriel will explain, and we will EXPERIENCE AT A VISCERAL LEVEL the three components of the living autonomics model, namely

1) neuroception: the body's moment to moment detection of safety, danger, lifethreat
2) neurology: the discrete autonomic systems in the body and how they combine
3) neurochemisty: the primary neurochemistries that associate with varying neuroceptions and neurology

Our moment-to-moment experience of autonomic state is a product of these three variables. From them we derive the coordinates of an autonomic map with 12 primary states.

Once we have become familiar with the map, we will explore practices for supporting ourselves in different states.
