SUMMARY:Being with your nervous system in complex times for AU/US/ASIA
DESCRIPTION:Being with your nervous system in complex times\nAn embodied pr
 actice circle \nWhen the work is complex\, we regularly find ourselves at 
 thresholds ... between roles\, between certainties\, between 'how we’ve a
 lways done it' and what’s needed now. In these liminal spaces\, our nervo
 us system often speeds up\, shuts down\, or reaches for familiar habits tha
 t don’t quite fit.\nThis four‑session online practice circle offers sim
 ple\, trauma‑informed ways to be with your nervous system as you navigate
  those thresholds\, so you can stay more present\, grounded and connected\,
  with yourself and with others.\nAcross four 75‑minute sessions we will:\
 n\n\nOffer a simple\, plain‑language orientation to how your body and ner
 vous system respond to stress\, safety and ease\n\n\nName common protective
  patterns (speeding up\, freezing\, people‑pleasing\, withdrawing\, over
 ‑functioning) and how they show up in your work and life\n\n\nPractise a 
 handful of small\, repeatable somatic moves you can use in real time\, in m
 eetings\, facilitation\, conflict\, decision‑making and rest\n\n\nExplore
  how to stay in contact with yourself and others in liminal spaces\, when t
 hings feel uncertain\, emotionally charged or “too much”\n\n\nReflect t
 ogether on what you notice between sessions as you take these practices int
 o your own contexts\n\n\nThis circle is a doorway\, not a destination. We
 ’ll begin practices together in the group\, and you’ll receive simple p
 rompts and a workbook so you can continue between sessions. Nervous system 
 science and somatic research are clear that repetition is what gradually re
 ‑wires our patterns and makes new responses available\, even under pressu
 re.Our orientation to practice is not self‑optimisation. We’re not here
  to fix you or make you more productive. We’re here to cultivate human b
 eing as much as human doing ... learning to relate differently to your own 
 activation so you can move with more integrity\, care and choice in the wor
 k that matters to you.\nDesigned for people who are often supporting others
  through complexity\, for example independent practitioners (social innovat
 ion folk\, organisers\, designers\, coaches\, facilitators\, community weav
 ers\, activists) as well as carers\, leaders and humans navigating big chan
 ges.\nSession 1 : Arriving: meeting where you are\nJuly 21 (AU)/ July 20 (U
 S)\nWe begin by arriving where you actually are\, not where you think you 
 “should” be.\n\nA simple\, plain‑language orientation to how your bod
 y and nervous system responds to stress\, safety and ease.\nGuided body‑b
 ased reflection to notice what activation\, flatness and settling feel like
  for you right now.\nMap how this links to your real contexts – projects\
 , relationships\, care responsibilities\, organisational dynamics.\nOne sim
 ple noticing practice to take into the next couple of weeks.\n\nThe aim is 
 not to over‑analyse yourself\, but to start recognising the patterns your
  system is already running.\nSession 2 : Protection: patterns that try to k
 eep you safe\nAug 4 (AU)/ Aug 3 (US)\nHere we get curious about your protec
 tive strategies – without pathologising them.\n\nName common protective p
 atterns – speeding up\, shutting down\, bracing\, over‑functioning\, pe
 ople‑pleasing – as understandable ways your system tries to keep you sa
 fe.\nConnect these patterns to the systems you move in: meetings\, workshop
 s\, client work\, family life.\nTry a couple of low‑key supports you can 
 use in real time (breath\, orientation\, micro‑pauses\, boundaries) and n
 oticing what actually helps.\nChoose one small\, realistic experiment to ta
 ke into your everyday contexts.\n\nWe’re gently widening the gap between 
 “something happens” and “I react”\, growing your response‑ability
  one small moment at a time.\nSession 3 : Resourcing: what steadies and res
 tores you\nAug 18 (AU)/ Aug 17 (US)\nIn this session we turn towards what s
 upports you\, not just what drains you.\n\nExplore what helps your system c
 ome back toward steadier ground – people\, places\, rhythms\, practices\,
  stories.\nMap supports you already have (even if under‑used) and gaps th
 at might want attention\, without turning it into another list of “should
 s”.\nPractise ways to weave micro‑resourcing into your current days\, r
 ather than adding big new routines you’ll abandon in a week.\nName one or
  two supports you want to tend\, and what might make that feel possible in 
 your context.\n\nResourcing here is framed as a prerequisite for meaningful
  work and sustainable leadership\, not a luxury add‑on.\nSession 4 : Walk
 ing with: integrating and choosing next steps\nSept 1 (AU)/ Aug 30 (US)\nWe
  close by gathering what you’ve seen and felt\, and looking at how you wa
 nt to walk with your system from here.\n\nLook back across the previous ses
 sions to see what patterns and experiments are telling you about your curre
 nt capacity.\nExplore what it might mean\, in your particular work and life
 \, to “be with” your experience rather than constantly overriding or pu
 shing through.\nClarify a few simple agreements with yourself (and maybe ot
 hers) about how you want to respond\, relate\, and resource yourself in the
  coming months.\nName what you are taking with you from the circle\, practi
 ces\, insights\, boundaries\, or questions\, and what support you might nee
 d to keep going.\n\nThere may also be an optional integration call later in
  the year if the group wants to reconnect and ground what you’ve been exp
 erimenting with.\n\nWho this is for\nThis circle is for you if:\n\nAre livi
 ng or working in complex times and want a kinder relationship with your own
  nervous system\nAre often “the one who holds the space” for others and
  want more internal support to do that sustainably\nSense your body is tryi
 ng to tell you things in high‑stakes or emotionally charged moments\, but
  you’re not always sure how to listen or respond\nNotice stress and load 
 showing up in your body (tension\, shutdown\, wired “on‑ness”) and wa
 nt to understand this without making yourself wrong\nWould like a small\, r
 elational space to practise\, not just learn concepts\, with others who car
 e about how they show up in their relationships and work\n\nPeople who join
  often include independent practitioners\,  for example social innovation 
 folk\, organisers\, designers\, coaches\, facilitators\, community weavers\
 , activists\, as well as people in caring professions and those navigating 
 big personal transitions.\nNo prior somatics or trauma training is required
 . Curiosity and willingness to experiment is enough.\n\nPractical details\n
 \nFormat: 4 x live online sessions (Zoom) - held fortnightly\nSession lengt
 h: 75 minutes each\nGroup size: Small (up to 10)\, so there is room for ref
 lection \nSession flow: Each 75‑minute session weaves short teaching\, 
 guided practice and focused reflection. There will be some space to share\,
  but the emphasis is on your own noticing and experimenting\, rather than l
 ong check‑ins\nFacilitator: Jax Wechsler : strategic designer\, facilitat
 or and educator working at the intersection of nervous system literacy\, tr
 auma‑aware practice and complex change.\n\nTime options:\n\nGroup A – A

 founder of Cocreate Change and Social Design Sydney.She brings over 20 year
 s of experience supporting organisations navigating complexity\, uncertaint
 y and change. Over the past five years\, her work has focused on nervous sy
 stem literacy and trauma-informed practice\, helping teams build the capaci
 ty to stay present\, connected and choice-ful under real-world demands.\nTh
 is work draws on long-standing experience in co-design\, systems change\, f
 acilitation and applied neuroscience to support teams to move from overwhel
 m to more grounded\, choice-ful ways of responding ... and expanding respo
 nse-ability.\n \n\nA note about the work\nThis circle draws on current res
 earch and lived practice around stress\, trauma and nervous system literacy
 \, but it doesn’t ask you to sign up to any one theory. The focus is on g
 entle\, practical ways to notice what your own system is doing and to offer
  it a little more support\, in the middle of the life you actually have.\nI
 t is not therapy and not clinical training. It’s a small\, human‑scaled
  practice space to support how you move through complex work and life\, and
  to gently grow your response‑ability over time.\nFor your team or organi
 sation\nIf you’d like your whole team to build this kind of capacity toge
 ther\, I also offer Regulate. Resource. Respond.\, a nervous‑system‑in
 formed program for teams and organisations working in complex\, high‑pres
 sure environments.\nLearn more about Regulate. Resource. Respond.\nTestimon
 ials\nThis circle grows out of earlier nervous‑system‑informed courses 
 I’ve run with practitioners and teams. Here’s how people from those coh
 orts have described the impact.\n“What I most appreciated was how Jax fra
 med nervous system regulation as more than self-care — as a practice that
  supports collective creativity\, compassion and response-ability. The cour
 se came at exactly the right time. Jax explained things in a clear\, ground
 ed and practical way that made both the theory and practices feel intuitive
  and genuinely doable.”— Kylie Wrigley\, Climate Justice Organiser\n"Ja
 x provided a supportive\, reflective space to make sense of my capacities a
 s a change-maker\, along with new nervous system concepts and practical too
 ls I'm already bedding in for the year ahead."— Wendy Fountain\, Ecologic
 al designer\n"Jax is a rare example of being an embodied teacher of her tea
 chings. Highly recommended."— Robyn Katz\, Women's Leadership Facilitator
 \n"I found the class useful and insightful. It left me pondering the implic
 ations for work and relationship over the next few days. Also explained the
  window of tolerance to my 7 yr old daughter the next day. Made perfect sen
 se to her. She called hypo-arousal her ‘hiding’ state.”—Dan Gooden\
 , Technology Consultant\n“Jax presents life changing concepts in clear\, 
 precise language\, with practical exercises to take home and use for life! 
 Your nervous system will appreciate you\, for investing 2 hours of your tim
 e\, for a lifetime of insight and awareness to give you greater control and
  acceptance of yourself\, relationships and life’s challenges.”— Shar
 ni Cohen\, Psychologist
