Meet Your Nervous System

Next session 16 Oct: learn more and register here

Many of us live our lives in a state of rush, busy, overwhelm, or even chaos, which can hold us in a near-perpetual state of stress.  In this context, our body’s autonomic nervous system works hard to keep us safe by identifying risk and danger, and shifting us into states like fight, flight, or freeze. This is an amazing safety mechanism for us - our body is often doing exactly what we need to stay safe and well.

However, being able to access a sense of safety, connection, curiosity and spaciousness even amidst all the swirl can make a huge difference to how we show up in the world - with others, and in ourselves. 

This workshop offers an opportunity to learn more about your nervous system in an experiential, embodied way. You’ll build an understanding of what the nervous system is and how it works. More importantly, you’ll spend time learning to notice your own state and to reflect on what helps you personally regulate yourself back towards a state of calm. 

The skills, tools, and ideas you’ll gather in this workshop are useful for all humans - wherever you are, your nervous system is right there with you. Come learn some of the basics and start to build a relationship with your own nervous system.

Hosted by The Pākehā Project:

Being Tangata Tiriti:
A Pākehā Project Taster

A one-day workshop exploring the beautiful restorative work of being tangata Tiriti in Aotearoa.

Who can we be for each other?

———————

We live in discombobulating times. And cracks are showing everywhere. So much that we thought was secure is shifting and changing. 

But here in Aotearoa, we have an extraordinary pou—Te Tiriti o Waitangi. So much more than a legal document; we feel it in our bones. Over decades and decades, Māori have cared for and carried its promise for all of us, tangata whenua and tangata Tiriti alike. It offers us a framework for living together in our difference, in mutually enriching ways. This is gold.

Join Rebecca and Becky from The Pākehā Project for this one-day workshop exploring the mahi we as tangata Tiriti can do in the journey towards a Tiriti-led future. We invite you into a space for gently inquiring into your unique place in the system rewiring itself. How do we show up where Māori are calling us to be? We'll be exploring relationality and worldview; the nervous system as map for working with activation; systemic racism, the orthodox Western worldview—its whakapapa and how it shows up in ourselves, our systems and society; and our roles in restorative systems change for a Tiriti-based future. It will be interactive, embodied, and nourishing.

Let's create lifeboats of coherence in this turbulent world.

calling those who rehumanise

Are you a leader currently trying to work in a humanising and relational way? Do you find that sometimes it feels like you're swimming against the tide? Rehumanise is gathering leaders who are interested in rehumanising leadership, leading in a more humanising or relational way, or wanting to better create spaces where the people around them can show up as their full human selves. 

We are offering a four session leadership lab aimed at creating spaces where you can work with other humanising leaders to deepen your own understanding and leadership practice. This is part support network, part learning journey, part self-exploration.  Each session is 2 - 2.5 hours long and we will meet fortnightly. During the journey, we will practice meeting as humans, we will do some exploration into our nervous systems and embodied ways of showing up in the world, we will have all the chats about interesting ideas, and we will spend time in self-reflection and in deep dialogue. Our collective wisdom, space, and time is all we need to find our way into different ways of working.

Topics will be driven by the group. What part of your people leadership role feels least human? Where do you see opportunities for radically inclusive and human-centred shifts in your leadership? What tricky puzzle piece do you want to examine with a group of others dedicated to leading as humans? We might deep dive into topics such as recruitment, development, performance management, one-on-ones, team meetings, project planning, or any number of other spaces - wherever humans are, there is a need to explore more human-friendly ways of working.  

The cost of the learning lab four-session journey is $220, and numbers are capped at a maximum of 10 participants.
