The window of tolerance is a concept pivotal to understanding how we navigate stress and trauma. It describes the optimal zone of arousal where we are able to function most effectively, managing and processing experiences with a balance of challenge and ease. Outside of this window, we may find ourselves overwhelmed (hyperarousal) or disconnected (hypoarousal). Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness practices offer tools to recognize and adjust our states, enabling us to remain within or return to this window of resilience and presence. You’ll come away from this workshop with more tools to navigate your own emotional landscape and to facilitate a safer, more supportive space for others.

This workshop is not just a learning opportunity; it’s a chance to resource yourself, building skills that enrich your practice and empower you to support others with sensitivity and insight. Whether you’re a mindfulness practitioner, therapist, educator, or simply seeking to deepen your understanding of Trauma-Sensitive Mindfulness, this day promises to be a nourishing and enlightening experience. With David, you’re learning from a leader in the field, another of his rare live teaching events internationally this year.
