Caring For Our Nervous Systems In These Political Times

September 28, 2026/in Blog, Oregon, Uncategorized, Weekly Groups/by Elizabeth Hoke

TITLE: Caring For Our Nervous Systems In These Political Times

DESCRIPTION: The current political climate is stressful for many people. In this workshop we explore how nervous system awareness and intentional restorative practices support self-care, sustainable engagement, empowered action, and connection to self and

others. Using a neurobiological approach to political analysis and engagement, informed by Somatic Experiencing and attachment theory, participants will explore how the human stress response impacts thinking, behavior, and relationships—and what we can do about it.

Where: RSVP for time and location

Suggested donation: $10 per session (or what you can afford). No one will be turned away for lack of funds.

To RSVP or learn more: email melora@liberationinstitute.org

About the Facilitator: Melora is a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, nervous system educator, and lifelong political activist. Raised in a politically engaged family, Melora has been immersed in political analysis and social justice action since childhood. She brings potent professional and life experience, along with a deep commitment to creating a more just and hospitable world—one nervous system at a time.
