ABOUT THIS MASTER CLASS
Science shows us that extended periods of regulation aren’t necessary to shape new patterns.
In this experiential session, we’ll explore the power of micro-moments to resource regulation. We’ll consider how small naturally occurring moments accumulate, shape our biology, and how we might intentionally use them to write new stories of safety and connection. We’ll learn how the negativity bias gets in the way of taking in positive experiences, build a glimmer practice, and test the steps of savoring.
With an understanding of the power of micro-moments, we’ll tackle the question, “If micro-moments, and not extended periods of safety and connection, are fundamental to becoming a more regulated human, how does that change the way I navigate my personal world and what would I change about the way I work?”
