Summit: The Nervous System Reset — Polyvagal Tools for Safety, Connection & Resilience

Bring Polyvagal Theory out of textbooks and into your body — with Courtney Rolfe, Jan Winhall, Tracy Jarvis, Dr. Arielle Schwartz, and Dr. Niki Elliott.

Summit: The Nervous System Reset — Polyvagal Tools for Safety, Connection & Resilience.
You know the signs. The hypervigilance that won't turn off. The shutdown that arrives without warning. The disconnection that feels safer than reaching out. Your nervous system is doing what it was designed to do — protect you. But when trauma or chronic stress rewires our autonomic patterns, that protection can become a prison. The Nervous System Reset is a one-day journey into the science and practice of nervous system regulation, where world-renowned faculty guide you to work with — not against — your body's innate wisdom. This isn't about managing symptoms. It's about understanding the autonomic patterns that shape how you move through the world, and learning practical, body-based tools to shift them so you can restore safety, build resilience, and reclaim connection.

Learning Outcomes & Professional Benefits

By the end of this summit, you will be able to:

  • Recognize autonomic states in real time and decode the cues your nervous system is sending
  • Cultivate felt safety as a biological experience, not just a cognitive reassurance
  • Apply Polyvagal-informed regulation tools in therapy, coaching, education, and healing work
  • Stay regulated in difficult conversations and support rupture and repair through co-regulation
  • Use the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model (FSPM) to depathologize trauma and addiction as adaptive survival strategies
  • Map the inner landscape of dissociative parts and gently support reconnection
