How Neuroscience is Catching Up with Indigenous Wisdom

A 1-3 hour training on how we can use our inborn indigenous ways to heal from colonialism.

We are all born from indigenous cloth, and neuroscience is showing us how moving away from our old ways has hurt us. Get in touch with the attitudinal conditions under which we all evolved and rejuvenate them through your relationship with children, who already espouse and model them for us.

  • Understand how distress and disease are products of our colonial-centric lifestyle

  • Learn how to recognize nervous system imbalances

  • Gain nervous system-balancing practices gleaned from worldwide indigenous wisdom and new neuroscience

  • Get indigenous tools for staying connected (and stress-free) in conflict with adults and children.

Transforming Child Consults & Parent Conferences Using the NeuralRelational Framework
A 3 to 8-hour workshop on a trauma-focused, neurodevelopmental, and equitable protocol that replaces typical consult agendas that use a compliance lens of behavior.

Create real change for children by turning those ineffective behavior-based meetings on children into ones that are anti-biased, trauma-sensitive, and neurodevelopmental. If you’re someone who consults on children/youth, bring one in mind to this practical workshop. Learn how to

  • Recognize and tactfully respond to bias in the meeting room using reflective practice as your tool.

  • Create a new kind of needs assessment that replaces child/youth “weaknesses” with vulnerabilities.

  • Replace Whac-a-mole and dead-end behavior systems by repairing lower brain networks (like sensory) to
