Workshop Title: Navigating the Blues While Living in the Grey: Understanding Our Nervous System in Times of Uncertainty and Unrest

Facilitated by: Molly W. Schenck

In times of uncertainty and unrest, our nervous system plays a crucial role in shaping our experiences, reactions, and ability to navigate daily life. This interactive workshop, led by multidisciplinary artist and trauma-informed educator Molly W. Schenck, offers a compassionate and curious exploration of how our bodies respond to stress, change, and ambiguity.

Drawing from trauma-informed creative practices, somatic movement, and Polyvagal Theory, this session will provide participants with tools to recognize and regulate their nervous system states. Through guided movement, reflective discussions, and creative prompts, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how to shift from survival responses to states of connection, creativity, and resilience.

This workshop is designed for artists, educators, healers, and anyone seeking a more embodied approach to mental well-being in challenging times.…
