This highly-interactive workshop is hand-tailored for the NYU School of Continuing Studies; Human Resources Department.

Informed by modern neuroscience, positive psychology, and Aikido, participants learn effective strategies and practices for cross-cultural communication, diversity/trauma informed leadership, and collaborative conflict resolution.

How we can build, nourish, and nurture our ability to bounce back, find new opportunities, and ultimately thrive when we are faced with difficult obstacles, adversity, and rapidly changing environments?

Colten Sensei approaches this topic as part of his “Teaching for Mastery” series, which draws upon neuroscience research, positive psychology, patterns found in nature, and best practices in pedagogy. He naturally and seamlessly connects this body of research with Aikido principles and practices.

Come join us for an engaging, one-and-a-half hour investigation into Resilience. Come prepared to move, learn, and practice concrete “takeaway” methods for boosting your individual and community resilience.

Please wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing in which you can move and bring a pen and notepad.

Aikidoists, somatic artists, teachers, and learners of all styles, affiliations, and levels of experience are warmly welcome…so please feel free to share this information with your networks of peeps.
