A journey through your nervous system
Three workshops, three states, one journey. About how your nervous system works, what it is telling you, and how to learn to work with it. Science-based, directly felt.
For anyone who wants to understand how their nervous system works
Your nervous system steers more than you think. How you respond to stress, how you come to rest, how connected you feel to yourself and others. In this series you learn how that works, and you put nervous system regulation into practice.
- You experience a lot of stress and find it hard to relax
- You are constantly "on" and don't know how to switch off
- Your mind never stops, not even in your free time
- You are tired, but resting doesn't help
- You have tension complaints in your body or sleep problems
- You get overstimulated quickly or are highly sensitive
- You function on autopilot and feel little
- You want to set boundaries but don't know how
- You don't just want to understand what is happening, but truly feel and integrate it
Theory you can feel. Movement that integrates.
Each workshop combines nervous system science, body-based exercises, gentle movement and deep relaxation with singing bowls. Not from your head, but from your body.
- Step 1
Landing
Slowing down and feeling the space as safe.
- Step 2
Understanding
Nervous system science you recognise straight away.
- Step 3
Moving
Somatic Flow Yoga tuned to the workshop.
- Step 4
Integrating
Body-based meditation and singing bowls.
After each workshop you go home with
- A deeper understanding of how your nervous system responds
- Concrete tools you can use straight away
- An experience your body remembers, not just your head
Three entry points, one journey
Each workshop focuses on one state of your nervous system. Follow them separately, or as a series of three.
- Workshop 1
Fight or flight
Anxiety, overthinking and overstimulation.
For those living in fast-forward. For those who lie awake worrying, panic at every deadline, feel always "on" or constantly put themselves last to avoid conflict.
- Workshop 2
Freeze & burnout
Numbness, fatigue and disconnection.
For those who feel empty, flat or shut off. For those who function on autopilot and find it hard to truly feel emotions.
- Workshop 3
Connection and resilience
The ventral system and co-regulation.
For those who want to learn what safety feels like in the body. About the state in which you feel safe, connected and present, and how to keep returning to it.

Investment

An individual session costs €75 on average. Here you go three hours deep for the same amount.
These workshops are educational, not therapy. If you have a heavy trauma history, I would rather guide you individually first. Feel free to get in touch.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to follow all three workshops?
No. Feel free to start with one workshop and discover whether it suits you. If you then want to complete the series with workshops 2 and 3, you get €15 off the total and receive the Nervous System Guide worth €30.
What should I bring?
Just comfortable clothing. Mats, cushions and blankets are provided. You don't need to know anything about yoga or meditation to take part.
Is a workshop like this therapy?
No. The workshops are educational. You learn how your nervous system works and practise with concrete tools. If you have a heavy trauma history, I would rather guide you individually first before you join a group workshop.
How is this different from an individual session?
An individual Somatic Experiencing session is more personal and tuned more deeply to your specific situation. The workshops are an accessible starting point: in a small group you learn the basic principles of nervous system regulation. A one-hour individual session costs €75 on average; in one workshop you go three hours deep for €75.
