RESILIENCY PAUSE  WORKSHOP by Malia Gallegos

This workshop is an introduction and an invitation to pause to grow our resilience.

There is a negativity bias in the brain and nervous system, and one we see mirrored in society and humanity today. While the negativity bias is part of the brain’s natural survival function, what is unnatural about that is getting stuck in survival responses all the time. Let’s get ourselves and our communities unstuck and back to a state of mobility needed to approach ourselves, our communities, and the world with resilience.

Malia will introduce wellness practices that allow the body’s natural capacity for resilience to find balance and homeostasis to exist in the realm of enchantment.
