About this event

The Mind, Body, Pain Connection Expo offers practical information on techniques to regulate the nervous system and address mental, physical, and emotional challenges.

With standard medical approaches often falling short, many are seeking effective, science-backed alternatives with proven results.

General admission includes access to lectures on various topics and opportunities for one-on-one conversations with practitioners. Limited space is available for active sessions like guided breathwork and yoga.

The expo focuses on the nervous system and unconscious mind, featuring insights on psychedelic-assisted therapy, post-experience integration, and micro-dosing strategies.

Practitioners from fields such as Specialized Kinesiology, EMDR, Hypnotherapy, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, and Harmonic Therapy will also be present.

Once confined to spiritual circles, the mind-body connection is now recognized by science as a link between the conscious and unconscious mind through the nervous system. Many effective options beyond traditional medicine can help regulate the nervous system for a better quality of life.

Workshops:

Juliet Aujla-Fieldt - 10:30 AM: Yoga Nidra: Deep Rest for Nervous System Regulation and Inner Awareness

Yoga Nidra, or "yogic sleep," is a guided systematic meditation practice that brings the body into a state of deep rest while the mind remains aware.
