If you’re a mama overwhelmed by the state of the world, pendulating between anger and apathy, fear and resignation, you’re not alone. And you’re not powerless.
As mothers, we have the ability to create the world we want to live in, for ourselves and for our families. But we have to know how. And we have to start with our own body and nervous system. And, most of all, we can’t do it alone…and our boys can’t either.
When I speak with mothers of boys, many have the same fears:
Their sons becoming perpetrators of or victims of violence
Their sons committing violence towards themselves
Their sons falling behind or drifting in life
Their sons becoming emotionally shut down or isolated
Their sons developing substance abuse issues or porn addiction
Raising their sons wrong in a culture whose “map of manhood” is outworn
All of these live in the nervous system: emotional dissociation, shame, anger, rage, freeze, collapse. The most direct thread to our son’s nervous system is our own. We are his first classroom. So the greatest power we have to protect our boys is to work with our own nervous systems and learn how to support theirs.
Mothering Boys & The Nervous System is a workshop based on Somatics and Ayurveda, teaching mothers the most essential wisdom for tending to your own body and raising the sons our world needs.
