About the event
In this weekend workshop we’ll learn how to transform the harmful effects that stress and trauma can have on the third of our lives that we spend asleep.
Based on his bestselling book Wake Up to Sleep Charlie Morley presents a holistic approach to better sleep which was originally developed for British military veterans. The workshop offers scientifically verified breath & body-work practices alongside the deep relaxation, Yoga Nidra and lucid dreaming techniques that form the core of the Mindfulness of Dream & Sleep protocol.
Mindfulness of Dream & Sleep takes a non-pathologizing approach to stress affected sleep supported by five core pillars:
1. Sleep Awareness
2. Rest & Relax (yoga nidra/ hypnagogic mindfulness)
3. Breath-Body-Mind (coherent breathing & chi gong)
4. Transforming Nightmares
5. Lucid Dreaming
Essentially, by regulating our nervous system through the breath & body we can integrate stress before bed and then use lucid dreaming practices to continue the work while we sleep.
From common work-related stress to the more serious effects of trauma, this workshop will teach you effective techniques to help you sleep better and wake up healthier.
The workshop will also explore:
• The Science of Sleep Cycles
• The Neuroscience of Trauma
• Optimising our Sleep Health
• Dream-work for Trauma Integration
Whether you currently have stress of trauma affected sleep or not, learning these practices is still deeply beneficial and so everybody is welcome!
