A Training Resiliency Circle for Therapists, Educators and Embodiment & Mental Health Professionals
How do individuals heal, grow and transform, and groups become more connected, regulated and capable of meaningful collaboration?
This didactic Resiliency Circle is an experiential learning space for therapists, educators, facilitators and other mental health professionals who want to strengthen their ability to sense what is happening in a room in real time—and to respond with greater clarity, flexibility and relational presence.
Boaz, founder of NeuroSystemics team will guide participants through a live somatic group process. The Resiliency Circle (RC) is designed to support a deeper understanding of how nervous systems, attachment patterns and group dynamics interact. Participants will have the opportunity to explore their own relational tendencies, practice staying present in moments of intensity or uncertainty, and develop a more embodied capacity to help individuals, groups and teams connect, co-regulate and function at higher levels of organization, collaboration and intimacy.
NeuroSystemics™ brings together systemic thinking, interpersonal neurobiology, somatic practice and experiential group psychotherapy. Rather than treating the group as a collection of separate individuals, we attend to the group as a living, adaptive system. Attention is given to the constantly changing field between participants: shifts in energy, attention, proximity, affect, participation, withdrawal, alliance and tension.
The Circle offers a structured yet emergent environment in which these processes can be experienced directly. Participants are invited to notice what is happening within themselves, between members and in the group as a whole. The facilitators support the group to slow down, orient, make contact and find workable ways of remaining connected while meeting difference, vulnerability and complexity.
How the group runs
At the beginning of each session, Boaz orients participants to the group and invites awareness of the present moment with a short practice (2-3 minutes). This may include noticing the environment, bodily sensations, impulses, breathing, posture, movement and the quality of contact with oneself and others.
Participants are then invited into spontaneous sharing and dialogue. There is no requirement to disclose personal material beyond what feels appropriate. The group develops through members’ real-time responses, questions, resonances and differences. Facilitators track both verbal and non-verbal communication and may bring attention to subtle shifts in the relational field.
Specific practices may include:
- Orienting and grounding: supporting attention to present-time sensory information, safety cues and available resources.
- Somatic tracking: noticing sensations, impulses, activation and settling without immediately interpreting or changing them.
- Titration and pendulation: approaching challenging material and relational contact in manageable doses while moving between activation and resources, engagement and rest.
- Tracking the relational field: observing changes in the quality between participants, levels of participation and group cohesion.
- Embodied inquiry: using carefully paced questions to explore how relational patterns are experienced in the body in real time.
- Regulation through contact: practicing co-regulation, boundaries, attunement and the repair of moments of disconnection.
- Enactment and reflection: bringing recurring interactional patterns into awareness so they can be experienced, understood and transformed in the group itself.
Boaz will support participants to distinguish between personal experience, interpersonal process and wider group-system dynamics. The aim is not to eliminate activation or conflict, but to develop the capacity to remain curious, connected and responsive while navigating them. Each participant will identify an individual professional or relational learning intention. This intention may relate to becoming more authentic with others, setting more boundaries, leading inquiry, managing conflict, staying present with strong affect, or recognizing and transforming habitual ways of relating. The group becomes a laboratory in which these intentions can be explored through direct experience rather than theory alone.
Didactic component to learn group facilitation
This Circle is specifically designed for mental health professionals, educators and group practitioners who want to learn more about facilitating somatic and relational group processes.
In addition to the experiential work, at the end of each session, Boaz will lead a brief didactic reflection on selected group processes that unfolded. Relevant perspectives may include somatic and nervous-system science, attachment and relational psychotherapy, humanistic group work, complex systems and positive psychology. The purpose is to connect lived experience with conceptual understanding and practical facilitation skills.
