SUMMARY:Being with your nervous system in complex times for AU / EU
DESCRIPTION:Being With Your Nervous System in Complex Times is a live\, onl
 ine\, four‑session circle for people who work with complexity and care 
 – designers\, facilitators\, leaders\, practitioners\, carers\, lawyers a
 nd others inside systems.\nTogether we’ll move through a simple four‑di
 rectional map\, weaving just enough theory with grounded\, experiential pra
 ctice so you can try things out amidst your real life and work. You’ll le
 ave with a practical workbook of simple\, repeatable practices to support y
 ou in both your work and your everyday life.NB This practice group is being
  offered at two time options for the same 4-part series. Please choose the 
 time that best suits your availability. \nSession 1 : Arriving: meeting wh
 ere you are\nJuly 22 (AU)\nWe begin by arriving where you actually are\, no
 t where you think you “should” be.\n\nA simple\, plain‑language orien
 tation to how your body and nervous system responds to stress\, safety and 
 ease.\nGuided body‑based reflection to notice what activation\, flatness 
 and settling feel like for you right now.\nMapping how this links to your r
 eal contexts – projects\, relationships\, care responsibilities\, organis
 ational dynamics.\nOne tiny noticing practice to take into the next couple 
 of weeks.\n\nThe aim is not to analyse yourself\, but to start recognising 
 the patterns your system is already running.\nSession 2 : Protection: patte
 rns that try to keep you safe\nAug 5 (AU)\nHere we get curious about your p
 rotective strategies – without pathologising them.\n\nNaming common prote
 ctive patterns – speeding up\, shutting down\, bracing\, over‑functioni
 ng\, people‑pleasing – as understandable ways your system tries to keep
  you safe.\nConnecting these patterns to the systems you move in: meetings\
 , workshops\, client work\, family life.\nTrying a couple of low‑key supp
 orts you can use in real time (breath\, orientation\, micro‑pauses\, boun
 daries) and noticing what actually helps.\nChoosing one small\, realistic e
 xperiment to take into your everyday contexts.\n\nWe’re gently widening t
 he gap between “something happens” and “I react”\,  growing your r
 esponse‑ability one small moment at a time.\nSession 3 : Resourcing: what
  steadies and restores you\nAug 19 (AU)\nIn this session we turn towards wh
 at supports you\, not just what drains you.\n\nExploring what helps your sy
 stem come back toward steadier ground – people\, places\, rhythms\, pract
 ices\, stories.\nMapping supports you already have (even if under‑used) a
 nd gaps that might want attention\, without turning it into another list of
  “shoulds”.\nPractising ways to weave micro‑resourcing into your curr
 ent days\, rather than adding big new routines you’ll abandon in a week.\
 nNaming one or two supports you want to tend\, and what might make that fee
 l possible in your context.\n\nResourcing here is framed as a prerequisite 
 for meaningful work and sustainable leadership\, not a luxury add‑on.\nSe
 ssion 4 : Walking with: integrating and choosing next steps\nSept 2 (AU)\nW
 e close by gathering what you’ve seen and felt\, and looking at how you w
 ant to walk with your system from here.\n\nLooking back across the previous
  sessions to see what patterns and experiments are telling you about your c
 urrent capacity.\nExploring what it might mean\, in your particular work an
 d life\, to “be with” your experience rather than constantly overriding
  or pushing through.\nClarifying a few simple agreements with yourself (and
  maybe others) about how you want to respond\, relate\, and resource yourse
 lf in the coming months.\nNaming what you are taking with you from the circ
 le\, practices\, insights\, boundaries\, or questions\, and what support yo
 u might need to keep going.\n\nThere may also be an optional integration ca
 ll later in the year if the group wants to reconnect and ground what you’
 ve been experimenting with.\n\nWho this is for\nThis circle is for you if:\
 n\nYou work with people and complexity – in design\, law\, research\, fac
 ilitation\, social impact\, organisational change\, caregiving\, or similar
  spaces.\nYou notice stress and load showing up in your body (tension\, shu
 tdown\, wired “on‑ness”) and want to understand this without making y
 ourself wrong.\nYou’re curious about nervous system literacy\, but you wa
 nt something human and grounded\, not jargon‑heavy or clinical.\nYou’d 
 like a small\, relational space to practise\, not just learn concepts – w
 ith others who also care about how they show up in the systems they’re pa
 rt of.\n\nNo prior somatics or trauma training is required. Curiosity and a
  bit of willingness to experiment is enough.\n\nPractical details\n\nFormat
 : 4 x live online sessions (Zoom) - held fortnightly\nSession length: 75 mi
 nutes each\nGroup size: Small (up to 10)\, so there is room for reflection
  \nSession flow: Each 75‑minute session weaves short teaching\, guided 
 practice and focused reflection. There will be some space to share\, but th
 e emphasis is on your own noticing and experimenting\, rather than long che
 ck‑ins\nFacilitator: Jax Wechsler : strategic designer\, facilitator and 
 educator working at the intersection of nervous system literacy\, trauma‑
 aware practice and complex change.\n\nTime options:\n\nGroup A – AU / NZ
 ‑friendly / some US‑friendly:8:00–9:15 am AEST = 6:00 – 7:15 pm EDT
  =  3:00 – 4:15 pm PDTJuly 21\, Aug 4\, 18\, Sept 1 (the day before in t

 k\n\nGroups and flexibility\nYou’ll nominate a “home” group (morning 
 or evening) when you register. If a particular week doesn’t work for your
  home time\, you’re welcome to join the other group for that session inst
 ead\, as long as there’s room.\nIf one of the groups doesn’t reach mini
 mum numbers\, I may invite you to move into the other group or offer a refu
 nd. \n\nInvestment\nInvestment for the four‑part live series (approx. 5 
 hours of group time):\n\nProfessional / organisation‑funded – AUD $290 
 (incl. 10% GST)For when your employer\, a client\, or a project budget is p
 aying for your place.\nSelf‑funded practitioner – AUD $190 (incl. 10% G
 ST)For when you are paying out of pocket as an individual.\nSupported place
  – AUD $120 (incl. 10% GST)\n\n\nAbout your facilitator\nJax Wechsler is 
 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 l
 ow‑risk\, practical ways to notice what your own system is doing and to o
 ffer it a little more support\, in the middle of the life you actually have
 .\nIt is not therapy and not clinical training. It’s a small\, human‑sc
 aled 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 or
 ganisation\nIf you’d like your whole team to build this kind of capacity 
 together\, I also offer Regulate. Resource. Respond.\, a nervous‑system
 ‑informed program for teams and organisations working in complex\, high
 ‑pressure environments.\n>> Learn more about Regulate. Resource. Respond.
 \nTestimonials\nThis circle grows out of earlier nervous‑system‑informe
 d courses I’ve run with practitioners and teams. Here’s how people from
  those cohorts have described the impact.\n“What I most appreciated was h
 ow Jax framed nervous system regulation as more than self-care — as a pra
 ctice that supports collective creativity\, compassion and response-ability
 . The course came at exactly the right time. Jax explained things in a clea
 r\, grounded and practical way that made both the theory and practices feel
  intuitive and genuinely doable.”— Kylie Wrigley\, Climate Justice Orga
 niser\n"Jax provided a supportive\, reflective space to make sense of my ca
 pacities as a change-maker\, along with new nervous system concepts and pra
 ctical tools I'm already bedding in for the year ahead."— Wendy Fountain\
 , Ecological designer\n"Jax is a rare example of being an embodied teacher 
 of her teachings. Highly recommended."— Robyn Katz\, Women's Leadership F
 acilitator\n"I found the class useful and insightful. It left me pondering 
 the implications for work and relationship over the next few days. Also exp
 lained the window of tolerance to my 7 yr old daughter the next day. Made p
 erfect sense to her. She called hypo-arousal her ‘hiding’ state.”—D
 an Gooden\, Technology Consultant\n“Jax presents life changing concepts i
 n clear\, precise language\, with practical exercises to take home and use 
 for life! Your nervous system will appreciate you\, for investing 2 hours o
 f your time\, for a lifetime of insight and awareness to give you greater c
 ontrol and acceptance of yourself\, relationships and life’s challenges.
