Thawing Together
The Science of Collective Presence
Emma, another cherished member of our community, once described her experience in our sessions as 'a gentle reawakening.' After years of navigating the isolating corridors of corporate life, she found solace in our virtual circle. Her story exemplifies the transition from a state of disconnection to one of engagement, facilitated by the safety of communal presence.
This transformation is supported by the principles of Polyvagal Theory, which emphasizes the role of social engagement in regulating our nervous system . When we feel seen and supported, our bodies shift from defense to openness, allowing for genuine connection.PositivePsychology.com drsarahbren.com
Our sessions also resonate with traditional healing practices, where community involvement—through song, dance, or shared labor—plays a crucial role in individual well-being . These practices recognize that healing is not a solitary endeavor but a communal journey.
Furthermore, the concept of morphic fields suggests that our collective behaviors can influence individual experiences. By participating in our community, members like Emma tap into a shared field of support and growth, reinforcing positive patterns and fostering resilience.Medium
Each story within our community is a testament to the transformative power of collective presence. As we continue to gather, share, and support one another, we not only heal individually but also contribute to a larger movement of reconnection and empowerment. Together, we're redefining what it means to work, heal, and thrive as women in today's world.
