Big projects\, difficult conversa tions\, competing demands – on the outside you keep showing up\, but on t he inside your system can feel constantly “on”: tight chest in meetings \, racing mind at night\, or a kind of flatness when you most want to be pr esent.\nBeing with Your Nervous System is a three‑session practice circl e where we slow down\, make sense of what your system is doing\, and experi ment with small\, realistic ways to support yourself in the midst of change . It’s light on theory\, strong on lived practice\, and designed for chan ge‑ready humans who are already carrying a lot.\nWho this is for\nThis ci rcle is for you if:\n\n\nYou work with people and complexity – as a desig ner\, facilitator\, researcher\, organiser\, leader\, advocate\, or carer.\ n\n\nYou notice stress and load showing up in your body (tension\, shutdown \, jittery “on‑ness”) and you want to understand this without patholo gising yourself.\n\n\nYou’re curious about nervous system literacy\, but you want something grounded and human\, not jargon‑heavy or clinical.\n\n \nYou’d like a small\, relational space to practise\, not just learn ide as – with others who also care about how they show up in the world.\n\n\n No prior somatics or trauma training is required. Just some curiosity and w illingness to experiment.\nWhat we’ll do together\nAcross three live onli ne gatherings\, we’ll explore:\nSession 1 : Meeting your nervous system i n the midst of change\n\n\nSimple\, plain‑language orientation to how the nervous system responds to stress and ease.\n\n\nGuided body‑based refle ction to notice where activation\, numbness and settling show up for you.\n \n\nMapping how this links to your real work and life (projects\, relations hips\, care\, community).\n\n\nOne tiny practice to try between sessions.\n \n\nSession 2 : Patterns of protection and small supports\n\n\nNaming commo n protective patterns – speeding up\, shutting down\, bracing\, people‑ pleasing – as understandable strategies\, not failures.\n\n\nConnecting t hese patterns to the contexts you move in (workshops\, interviews\, meeting s\, family).\n\n\nTrying a couple of low‑key regulation practices you can use in real time (breath\, movement\, orienting\, boundaries).\n\n\nChoosi ng one experiment to take into the next few weeks.\n\n\nSession 3 : Being w ith\, not overriding\n\n\nExploring what it might mean to “be with” you r experience rather than overriding or pushing through.\n\n\nPractising sta ying with mild sensations and emotions in short\, supported ways\, with lot s of choice.\n\n\nMapping the supports and rhythms that help your nervous s ystem recover and stay resourced.\n\n\nNaming what you want to carry forwar d after the circle ends.\n\n\nThere may also be an optional integration cal l later if the group desires it.\nWhat you’ll leave with\nBy the end of t he series\, you can expect to have:\n\n\nA clearer sense of your own nervou s system patterns under pressure.\n\n\nA small toolkit of simple\, doable p ractices you can use in daily life and work.\n\n\nMore language and insight to notice when you’re nearing your own edges and what helps you return.\ n\n\nA felt experience of being in a small\, supportive group where nervous ‑system realities are named and normalised.\n\n\nThis is not therapy and not clinical training. It’s a human‑scaled practice space to support ho w you move through complex work and life.\nPractical details\n\n\nFormat:  3 x live online sessions (via Zoom)\n\n\nSession length: 75 minutes each\n\ n\nGroup size: Small\, to allow conversation and attention for everyone\n\ n\nFacilitator: Jax Wechsler : practitioner\, facilitator\, and writer work ing at the intersection of nervous system literacy\, trauma‑aware practic e and complex change.\n\n\nCatering for Time Zones\nThis group will be host ed at two different times:\n\n\nCohort A – AU / NZ / US‑friendly:\n\n\n 8:00 - 9:15 am AEST (6:00 - 8:15 pm EDT\, 3:00 - 4:15 pm PDT)Register here\ n\n\n\n\nCohort B – Evening AU / Asia / EU‑friendly:\n\n\n 19:00–20: 15 AEST ( 10:00-11:15am GMT\, 5:00 - 6:15pm Singapore)Register on the top r ight of this page\n\n\n\n\nIf one of the cohorts doesn’t reach minimum nu mbers\, I may invite you to move into the other group or offer a refund – I’ll always be transparent about this\nInvestment\nFor the 3 x 75‑minu te live series:\n\n\nProfessional / organisation‑funded – AUD $240 (+ 1 0% GST)For when your employer\, a client\, or a project budget is paying fo r your place.\n\n\n\n\nSelf‑funded practitioner – AUD $165 (+ 10% GST)F or when you are paying out of pocket as an individual.\n\n\nSupported place – AUD $110 (+ 10% GST)For people for whom the other rates would be a bar rier right now. If this is you\, you’re welcome to choose this tier – n o explanation needed.\n\n\nA note about the work\nThis circle draws on curr ent research and lived practice around stress\, trauma and nervous system l iteracy\, but it doesn’t ask you to sign up to any one theory. The focus is on low‑risk\, practical ways to notice what your own system is doing a nd to offer it a little more support\, in the middle of the life you actual ly have.\nJoin us\nIf you’d like to explore your own nervous system with more curiosity and care\, and practise doing that alongside others who are also working with complexity\, you’re warmly invited to join this cohort.
