Join PVI and our PVI Online Community Space manager Stephanie D'Angelo for this free 20 minute reset! Take some time out of your day to dedicate to your practice of mindfulness. Mindfulness meditation is one of the most powerful methods we have to regulate our nervous systems! During these brief practice sessions you'll explore ways you can personally create stability and cultivate safety, move toward acceptance of the present moment experience, cultivate self-compassion,
practice making choices, and be curious. Everything offered during the session is invitational, and you will be empowered by having the choice to opt-out at any time.​

Join the PVI Community and Danish choir conductor Janne Wind for this free co-regulation event! ​​

Singing together is a wonderful way to experience feelings of connection and co-regulation. Janne Wind, a polyvagal-informed singer, composer, and conductor, has found a way to create a safe space to connect online, teaching and leading from a polyvagal informed perspective while incorporating breath, grounding, communication, safety and resonance as an integrated part of the Choir work. ​

Here is how it works: Find a place where you can sing freely--maybe with people you feel safe with, or perfectly fine on your own. You will NOT have your mic on your device - so no one else can hear you. If you feel comfortable, you can turn on your camera-- otherwise, just do this for your pleasure. Song lyrics will be provided, and Janne will invite us all to join in. (You'll be able to hear her and her choir, but no one else will hear you).  We hope you'll join us!​

Kristen Toth is a somatic educator, coach, and SSP provider who helps people regulate their nervous system and cultivate embodied safety to heal from trauma and stress. During this session, Kristen will invite and guide us in a practice of gentle somatic tools and embodied awareness that supports nervous system regulation and resilience from the body up—not to bypass what’s difficult, but to support ourselves in being more present and connected so we can feel capable of handling whatever life is asking us to hold. You’ll be encouraged to follow your body’s own wisdom about what feels right, and supported in approaching this type of self-care with radical respect for your own nervous system, exactly as it is.

As Dr. Gray describes, "Our human bodies are movement. Movement is a primary language, creative expression, and pathway to healing. This brief introduction to a Polyvagal-informed Somatic & Dance/Movement Therapy grounding practice weaves a little theory with two experientials  that are infused with polyvagal and Indigenous wisdom." This movement practice is appropriate for, and can be adapted to, all levels of mobility.

​
Polyvagal-informed Dance/Movement Therapy is at the heart of Dr. Gray's Restorative Movement Psychotherapy, innovated over years of idea-sharing and collaborative teaching with Dr. Stephen Porges. The core of this work is breath, sound, and movement as a direct access to regulate the nervous system following traumatic exposure. Dr. Gray is also a member of Polyvagal Institute's Editorial Board.
