Fear is an emotion that triggers a series of complex bodily reactions that block our capacity to react calmly and rationally to different life situations. It warns us that we are facing potential danger and makes us more cautious, but after traumatic experiences it is possible that we perceive even harmless situations as threatening.

In this experiential workshop, we will explore the reactive mechanisms of fear in more detail and learn to deal with them more consciously in order to choose more functional and constructive responses to fear.

Step by step we will work with the recognition of the so-called window of tolerance, which is our capacity to deal with stressful situations in a healthy way. We will learn to expand the window of tolerance when we want to and when it is constructive.

With breathing exercises and activation of the mammalian diving reflex through deep diaphragmatic breathing and breath control, we will learn to calm our nervous system and reaction to fear so that we could have a relaxed approach to stressful situations.

We will get acquainted with the basic concepts of the polyvagal theory and the practical use of movement according to the reaction map of the autonomic nervous system, i.e. the choice of healthier and more constructive reactions to challenging life situations.

We will learn to approach our own fears with the intention of making friends with them and using the challenges of fear as a step towards our own emotional and mental maturation.

We will explore how connecting with other people through compassion and positive intention affects mental health and how through this we can be a part of helping the wider community.
