Freeing the Scapegoat
January 2024
The scapegoat is the person within a group or family who carries the blame for others.
They are often those who are strong enough to bear such a burden and as such absorb shame and guilt.
We conclude our ancestor work by looking at the role of the scapegoat and freeing the scapegoats within our own lives and transgenerational energy.
Safe Immobilisation
February 2024
In Polyvagal theory, “safe immobilisation” refers to the space between shutdown and social. It’s a healing state, where the body is immobilised but the nervous system still feels safe. (It can be argued, the nervous system feels at it’s safest in this mode)
This spring we’re taking a deep dive into Polyvagal theory over three months. We’ll explore some of the less talked about concepts and look at how we can harness them within life and magic.
Healing Laughter & the Trickster
March 2024
Polyvagal theory says we have three nervous system states and we move naturally between them.
Sometimes, especially during times of stress, we might find it hard to move between states with ease.
However, there are some things we can do to help us move back into social mode, and using laughter as a tool is one of these.
(Have you ever found yourself cracking jokes when you’re anxious?)
In March’s Bennu’s Table we work with the trickster to harness the healing energy of laughter.
