The Applied Mindfulness Restorative PracticesTM model is a revolutionary wellness model for individuals and organizations. As a culture, in our medical and mental health settings, we are dealing, in isolation, with profound stressors arising from a lack of connection to ourselves, one another, and nature. For 99% of human history, the way that we lived was all about connection. This evolutionary baseline creates the biological conditions of wellbeing, yet our modern living context represents a systematic deviation from this baseline. Restorative Practices is a transformative blended learning program designed to re-set your physiological baseline in connection through a facilitated experiential learning process that blends cutting-edge applied mindfulness, neurophysiology, relational mindfulness, creativity, and deep nature awareness.

In this deeply experiential 3-day training, we’ll take a deep dive into the Restorative Practices model, addressing its conceptual framework, and exploring practices for deepening connection with self, in relationships, and with the living world. Advisors to this model include Dr. Stephen Porges, PhD, creator of the Polyvagal Theory, Dr. Nadine Burke Harris MD MPH FAAP, now Surgeon General of California, and Lee Mun Wah, acclaimed documentary film-maker of ‘The Color of Fear’ and master mindfulness and diversity trainer.
