DESCRIPTION:Dr. Stephen Porges’ landmark Polyvagal Theory provides us a d
 eep living map of the way that the Autonomic Nervous System dynamically ad
 justs its parameters depending on whether we feel safe or in danger. Throu
 gh the evocation of various neural platforms of behavior (social engagemen
 t\, fight\, flight\, shutdown\, etc.) our autonomic nervous systems tune o
 ur bodies\, emotions\, cognitions\, interpretations of our surroundings\, 
 and behaviors in real-time. The modern mindfulness movement has greatly br
 oadened the application of mindfulness in lay and clinical contexts\, yet 
 mindful awareness works with attention\, which is strongly shaped by neura
 l platform.  Many people who utilize mindfulness for themselves\, or clini
 cally with others\, do not fully understand the degree to which it needs t
 o be attuned to present-moment neural platform in order to optimally suppo
 rt well-being. For example\, when a person is in a defensive state of flig
 ht\, traditional inwardly-oriented mindfulness practices are generally con
 tra-indicated.\n\nIn this workshop\, we’ll build a practical bridge from
  Polyvagal Theory to Mindful Awareness to help participants understand the
  ways that neural platform (state) exerts strong shaping forces on one's a
 wareness. We also will explore the kinds of attentional movements that are
  useful when different neural platforms are activated.\n\nIn the second ha
 lf of the workshop\, we will utilize the Restorative Practices Deep Learni
 ng platform\, and its library of nearly 300 practices\, to identify releva
 nt practices for individual participants based on their neural platform an
 d particular interests. This workshop is capped at 200 participants. Parti
 cipants will receive\, with registration\, complimentary access to the Res
 torative Practices Deep Learning platform for 30 days. \n\nKram also is de
 livering a lecture on Restorative Practices for Wellbeing in the Contempla
 tion by Design Summit on Friday\, Oct. 14 at 7pm. Register for that lectur
 e here. \n\nNatureza Gabriel Kram is a connection phenomenologist.  He is 
 Founder and CEO of Hearth Science\, Convener of the Restorative Practices 
 Alliance\, and Co-Founder of the Academy of Applied Social Medicine.  His 
 new book\, Restorative Practices of Wellbeing\, unites cutting-edge neurop
 hysiology and ancestral awareness practices\, sharing more than 300 practi
 ces for personal\, community\, and ecological thriving. \n\nA Polyvagally-
 Informed Approach to Mindful Awareness is part of the free Contemplation b
 y Design Summit\, Oct. 9 - 16 and Oct. 28 - Nov. 2\, 2022.\n\nThe full Sum
 mit schedule is posted at: http://contemplation.stanford.edu/summit. All e
 vents are FREE and online.\n\nRegistration is now open here: https://stanf
