Navigating the Blues While Living in the Greys: understanding our nervous system in times of uncertainty and unrest
Originally recorded May 2025
In times of uncertainty and unrest, our nervous system plays a crucial role in shaping our experiences, responses, and ability to engage with daily life. This interactive workshop, led by multidisciplinary artist and trauma-informed educator Molly W. Schenck, offers a compassionate and curious exploration of how we respond to stress, change, and ambiguity.
Grounded in trauma-informed creative practices and Polyvagal Theory, this session will provide participants with accessible tools to better recognize and regulate their nervous system states. Through guided reflection, creative prompts, and open discussion, attendees will gain insight into shifting from survival responses toward states of connection, curiosity, and resilience.
This workshop is designed for artists, educators, healers, and anyone seeking a grounded, creative approach to mental well-being in challenging times. No prior knowledge is necessary—just a willingness to explore and engage.
Participants can expect a mix of lecture, reflection, and interactive discussion over the three-hour session. Please bring a journal or something to write or draw with.
Join Molly as we learn to navigate the blues while embracing the grey—finding new ways to ground ourselves and move forward with greater ease.
