Join host Amber Samaya for an experiential, educational and interactive playshop focused on understanding, making conscious, and choosing how you want to relate to Social Media and online communication platforms!
This playshop offers those feeling compelled to examine their relationship with Social Media and other online communication pathways a chance to creatively explore the impacts of Social Media use on our nervous systems, our physiological and psychological responses to 'scrolling' and broadcasting, vulnerability hangovers, online relationship dynamics, the authenticity crisis, comparison spirals, the fear of missing out, the long-term impacts of hypervigilance (tuning into notification, tags, mentions, comments with urgency), and what parts of our relationship with Social Media remain unconscious and unboundaried.
We will begin by identifying and naming what is and isn't working for us, and then move together as a group through playful and supportive experiences of conscious inquiry, values mapping, and work with an Intentional Creativity® process to create a talisman of intention for that can be placed on our devices!
By the completion of this daylong workshop, you will have accessed key insights into your Social Media habits, notice how you are impacted when engaging with social media or working online, and be well resourced with practical and art-full steps you can take to integrate what you've learned and 'go forth' in a new and more sovereign way of being!
During our time together we will:
- name the emotions and physical sensations that arise when we use Social Media or spend long hours online
- examine our unconscious agreements and unconscious behaviors on Social Media and online communication platforms
- understand the power of distraction to take away from our creativity time!
- review the most up-to-date research on Social Media's impacts on nervous system, brain, emotions, human communication and sense making as well as Facebook’s (and it’s subsidiaries) business practices that center profit over human well-being and social cohesion
- examine the power we have to 'make time' and set clear, healthy, and conscious boundaries on when and how we engage online - learning to stay away from 'infinity loops'
- create a list of our core values and the desired feelings we wish to cultivate and integrate into our use of Social Media and online communication
- engage in an Intentional Creativity 'Values Mapping' process to ground us with image/words into our personal, consciously aware 'WHYs' and 'HOWs' in our continued relationship with Social media
- create paper talismans of blessing and dedication for our most used tech devices
- connect in small groups for meaningful inquiry and authentic sharing
- participate in ritual practice to support the nervous-system and open the heart, as well as reclaim our personal sovereignty in the area of Social Media and online communication
