Felt Sense Polyvagal Community (FSPC)

Hello everyone!

I’m so glad that you have found our Felt Sense Polyvagal Community! (FSPC) 

I created this space to bring together my Focusing on Borden (FOB) Community and my new Polyvagal Community. My first community at FOB began back in 2012 as a teaching and training centre for therapists and students interested in learning about Focusing and the Felt Sense. Since that time I trained in Polyvagal theory and brought it more and more into my work. Now I am a teacher in both communities and it seemed like the right time to combine them.

So, here we are, in a space that welcomes both worlds! Below you will find offerings that connect you to Focusing and Polyvagal Theory.

Warmly,
Jan

Felt Sense Polyvagal Approach to Trauma & Addiction Group:

The Felt Sense Polyvagal Approach to Trauma & Addiction Group is a place for us to explore, through a polyvagal lens, the experiences of trauma and addiction. We are focusing on understanding addiction through the lens of the nervous system, as an adaptive response to maladaptive environments. Our group is growing in leaps and bounds indicating a hunger for change, for the kind of transformative change that polyvagal theory brings us.

FOUNDATIONS IN EMBODIED ANCESTRAL INQUIRY (EAI)

Developmental approaches to trauma healing teach us that our behaviours are often adaptations to conditions during childhood where we lacked access to adequate safety, dignity, and belonging. White supremacy culture results from our ancestors’ loss of these core needs. Centuries later, the devastating effects of this loss are now expressed and felt on the universal and collective scale that we experience today. This training for white people who want to deepen their capacity for working with other white people to unlearn and heal the embodiment of white supremacy.

MORE INFORMATION

Sounder Sleep System®

Based on Feldenkrais principles, Sounder Sleep System® cultivates a quiet calm balanced by a syncopation of lively interest. Thus we refine our autonomic nervous system. Fine motor movements are juxtaposed with larger actions. Three daily, three-minute practices, over a three week period foster new habit patterns. An integration occurs to refine the entire self. A steady connection with the parasympathetic nervous system maintains a sense of calm and leads to more restful sleep. Enhanced connections with our sympathetic nervous system creates vitality and enthusiasm in daily life.
