Platonic Love & The Nervous System

Beyond Small Talk: Exploring Friendship, the Nervous System & Authentic Connection

While we often talk about romantic love, platonic relationships can evoke just as much joy, vulnerability, longing, and fear. Whether you've ever struggled to trust new people, worried about being "too much," found yourself pulling away when friendships deepen, or wondered why genuine connection sometimes feels unexpectedly difficult, you're not alone.

Together, and through art, we'll explore how our nervous systems shape the way we connect, protect ourselves, and experience closeness.

  • Five Stars. "I learned that joy can be found in many ways and it is ok to let ourselves do things that are supportive and joyful when experiencing pain."

  • "Group has made me more aware of areas that I need to heal. There was a community aspect that I was missing before. Being able to relate and learn from multiple people's experiences has been eye opening as to how I need to heal as I did not know there were parts I have not yet started healing."
