When we learn to Replace Judgement with Curiosity, we open our consciousness to discover Renewed Options and Fresh Perspectives, creating a more regulated central nervous system.

​

Regulating our thoughts and emotions encourages us to practice Responding rather than Reacting at times when we might otherwise experience stress and anxiety.

​

As we continue to practice with Curiosity, we can Re-build Neural Pathways to assist in reducing the Flight, Fight, Freeze, Fawn reactions which may become heightened over time, particularly after experiencing a challenging or threatening experience.  

Curiosity acronym for Art of Life and Curiosity

Therapeutic benefits of attending the Art of Life and Curiosity 3.5 hr Wellness Workshop

When we participate in a cohesive group, where opinions, life stories and individuality is respected and appreciated, we may experience opportunities to rewire damaging family system dynamics, gain empowerment and give ourselves permission to move forward.

  • Aboriginal Elder Miriam Rose Ungunmerr Baumann, 2021 Senior Australian of the year, describes Dadirri as inner quiet, still awareness, waiting, and being available to everyone.

​

Creative Art Therapy

  • Use image making, movement, and music to shift unconscious material into consciousness with the intention of meaning, making to create beneficial insights and perspectives.

​

Flight, Fright, Freeze, Fawn

  • Learn how to integrate these practices into your present life experience.

  • Release past pain and perceived anxieties about the future.
