It doesn’t usually work to simply ignore or will our way out of stress, however there is a way. Various studies have shown how to care for ourselves: completing the stress cycle, downshifting the nervous system, and returning the body to its sense of safety through rituals, singing, laughing and moving. Community is key to this: the body returns to safety when we are with people we know, love and trust.

Practicing being in our bodies and returning them to safety increases our resilience. We increase our courage and build our capacity to cope with stress and hopelessness.

Our CVUU community is building our embodied resilience not only for individual healing, but also so we have the courage to join with our neighbors to resist oppression and transform the conditions that lead to stress.

Together, we care for one another and build the embodied resilience and strength to make Cache Valley and the world a better place.

Meet in person at CVUU or online through Zoom on Sunday at 10:00 AM.
