Cool Under Fire

Class Description

This workshop is for anyone who is burnt out on anxiety, stress, and tension. All levels are welcome and the workshop is appropriate for kids as young as 8 (with a parent in attendance). Learn practical tools to feel grounded, calm, and centered despite the daily dumpster fires. Whether your daily dose of chaos comes from a demanding job or the news headlines, this workshop is for anyone feeling overwhelmed and at a loss. Train with an expert with 50 years' experience teaching the Art of Peace: Sensei Raso is a 7th degree black belt in Aikido, AKA the Art of Peace. No martial arts will be practiced in this class...unless you count drop-kicking some stress! Instead, Raso Hultgren will lead participants through a variety of experiential somatic exercises (feel it in your own skin tactics) on how to feel grounded when a professional trapdoor springs open; how to get centered when the daily teeter-totter tilts; how to generate lasting calm inside that radiates out to those around you. These practices are great for home, the office, or daily life. ​​This session is especially relevant for: First responders Political canvassers Public-facing civil servants Community organizers and volunteers Educators Nurses, doctors, and healthcare professionals Anyone who regularly navigates tense or chaotic situations QUESTIONS?
