> *Session 1: Body as Instrument – Arrival & Awareness (Feb 13 + Mar 6)*
>
> • Recognise how nervous system state shapes attention, perception, and
> response before conscious thought
> • Develop embodied awareness through sound, breath, and listening to
> establish physiological safety and baseline regulation
> • Experience the body as an instrument of regulation rather than a site of
> effort or control
>
>
> *Session 2: Stillness as Skill (Feb 20)*
>
> • Cultivate stillness as an active regulatory capacity that supports
> focus, clarity, and non-reactivity
> • Strengthen the ability to pause under pressure without loss of
> authority, momentum, or presence
> • Apply stillness as a practical tool for cognitive reset,
> decision-making, and emotional regulation
>
>
> *Session 3: Integration & Embodied Leadership (Feb 27)*
>
> • Integrate sonic and somatic regulation practices into everyday
> leadership, teaching, and communication contexts
> • Demonstrate embodied authority through regulated presence, tone, and
> pacing rather than force or performance
> • Sustain self-governed regulation to support ethical decision-making,
> resilience, and long-term capacity
>
>
> *Attend all three sessions in person* to receive a *certificate of
> participation* and be entered into a *sonic raffle*.
