In this interactive workshop, you’ll learn body-based movement, emotional tending, and grounding practices to help you meet overwhelm with presence and compassion, for yourself, your team, and the people you serve. We’ll explore stress cycles, try on simple “tools and toys” you can use in real time, and practice trauma-informed invitations that honor autonomy and build trust. You’ll leave with a personalized menu of strategies you can use daily to move from hyper-alert to more regulated and resourced.

This trauma-informed, expressive-arts workshop invites participants to reconnect with joy, imagination, embodiment, and collective care through accessible theater and improv-informed practices. Designed for people working in the homeless response sector and nonprofit spaces, this session offers an alternative to the pressure to continually perform competence, contain crisis, and carry the emotional weight of care work.

This workshop explores how we navigate giving and receiving care without slipping into burnout or martyrdom, inviting an honest examination of our limits, values, and needs while practicing what it looks like to say “I’m not okay” and sustainably stay in relationship—with ourselves and others—anyway.

In this session, you are invited to reflect on your rest practice, release narratives that don’t serve you, set intentions and simply rest.
