I've been talking about my experience in the workshop with all kinds of people. Including the 60 y.o. MAGA bro from my church. Who said he just shoots guns when he feels stressed. So that was an interesting conversation.

Nat explained the theory of the exercises as we walked through them. I had never experienced a workshop like this before. I learned so much!

The somatic practices to use in parenting moments were good and something I'll use.

And with the two of y'all there was a range of methods to do these as well as name origins.

I will use it in my parenting, in supporting friend/community member parents, and in my creative work at the Milkwater Lullabies I'm weaving learning of this nature that's continually informed by community into artmaking.

Finally, a workshop that cares for the caregivers.
