A two-hour session for creative people who want to learn how to regulate their nervous system. Shaun will take us through the basics of somatic coaching and teach us some of the tools and techniques that can help us feel great in today's crazy world.

What's the format?

Wednesday evening. An oasis of calm in London's West End. We'll walk through a secret community garden to a simple structure with a glass wall and underfloor heating.

Around 15 of us, some tea, a comfortable spot on the floor, shoes off. At 7pm Shaun leads us through some practical, physical exercises to tune into our bodies. Nothing too strenuous or weird. We’ll be done by 9pm.

On the scale of zero to Woo Woo, this is about a 3 out of 10.

Who's leading the session?

Shaun Brooking is a human performance specialist and somatic coach with twenty years in the field. His work is grounded in psychology, physiology and sports science. He trained in Sports and Exercise Science and Human Performance, was an elite athlete himself, and now works with leaders and teams at the highest level.

What will I leave with?

• A first sense of how your nervous system works, and what it's trying to tell you

• A couple of simple things to try on a hard day

• A bit more curiosity about your body, and what's happening moment to moment

• Perhaps the beginning of a broader inquiry into somatic work and alternative therapies

Who is it for?

People in the creative industries. Agencies, studios, production, freelance. If you spend your days having ideas and/or making them, this is for you. No experience needed. Come straight from work. Come as you are.
