Therapeutic Tools for Performance and Living: Mind/Body Connection, Safety and the Vagus Nerve

Tuesday 30th January 2024, 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM (London Time)

This workshop looks at the role of the Autonomic Nervous System in performance and in vocalisation; the importance of developing an internally validated source of motivation for our work; the relationship with our inner critic, perfectionism and acceptance; and how our interpersonal interactions affect our feelings of safety.

We’ll experience together some exercises around the vagus nerve, visualisation and breathing, and look at how our relationship with self, others and the world and the ‘three flows of compassion’ can help us to vocalise with ease and live fulfilled, creative lives of safety and connection.
