We are social animals and throughout the last year, isolating at home has become our "new normal". We thrive on human contact and have an evolutionary need to be around others, forming social groups outside of our own families. 

But when our place in a valued social group faces threats – real or imagined – the effects on us can be devastating. Studies have shown that threats to our social status – our sense of authority, our belief that we are being treated fairly, our feelings of being included - rank equal to threats to our physical safety in terms of anxiety and stress. And that's because our limbic system, the seat of our fight-or-flight reactions, draws no distinction between the two. 

As we return to socializing in groups, this can lead to a feeling of anxiety for many people. Join us in this introductory class where you'll learn the many ways our sense of belonging and social status can feel threatened and how we can override this reaction. 

We will go on two guided Neurosculpting® meditations in which you'll rewrite your relation to the social world. No experience necessary.
