About This Call

Facilitator: Brenda Salgado

Topic: Nurturing Our Nervous System within Beloved Community

Description: Building Beloved Community is crucial to the work of retreat centers. During times of the unknown, rapid change and shifts in the world, it can be difficult to stay informed and present with what is happening in us, around us and within our communities. Tending to our nervous system, connecting with others to share and grieve is an urgent imperative in these times. Join us for an opportunity to ground in your body and breath, and to engage in Toltec breath and energy practices to resource ourselves for the times ahead.
