It teaches you how to balance a nervous system impacted by personal or community-level trauma (such as violence\, poverty\, racism and homophobia). \nThe goal of CRM® is to create trauma-informed and resiliency-focused communities that share a common understanding of the impact of trauma and chronic stress on the nervous system. The easily learned and shared techniques give community members the skills to restore and increase resiliency. \nYou will learn the six wellness skills designed to help adults and children track their own nervous systems in order to bring the body\, mind and spirit back into greater balance. \nThis dynamic training includes experiential activities and learning through movement\, so please come prepared to participate. Suitable for all ages and physical abilities. \nTopics include: \n· The biology of traumatic/stressful reactions\n· Tracking – noticing our feelings and where they reside in our bodies\n· Grounding – getting centered\n· Resourcing – summoning internal calm\n· Gesturing – the emotional charge of gestures \n\nCRM® comes from the Trauma Resource Institute.\nFor more information visit www.traumaresourceinstitute.com. \n\n \n \n \n \n \n Download Flyer\n \n \n \n \n \n \nDetails\nDate: Tuesday\, February 5\, 2019 | 9am-4:30pm\nCost: $95 Early Bird | Standard Rate: $125  | Group Rate: $75 /person minimum of 3 people\nLocation: The California Endowment\, 1000 N.
