In uncertain times, our bodies and nervous systems often carry the weight of the unknown. In this 90-minute workshop, we’ll explore how understanding your body’s natural responses to stress can help you navigate periods of upheaval with greater ease. Grounded in the science of Interpersonal Neurobiology (IPNB) and imbued with BodyIntelligence, this workshop offers practical tools to support your nervous system, build safe connections, and restore balance, even when the world feels unpredictable.
You will learn:
- How your nervous system responds to external uncertainty and stress.
- Practical tools for recognizing and supporting your body’s signals.
- Techniques for building safe, supportive connections during times of instability.
- The importance of agency and choice in managing stress and uncertainty.
Join us for a science-based, compassionate approach to handling stress that doesn’t require perfect outcomes but focuses on what works best for you in each moment.
No prior experience is necessary. This workshop is open to anyone interested in learning more about how to support themselves and others through challenging times.

Imogen and Shay
Imogen and Shay have been working together for over seven years, starting when Shay first came to Imogen as a client. Over time, as Shay studied neurobiology and neuroscience to help them understand and resolve PTSD, they increasingly understood that BodyIntelligence provides a very neuropositive approach and practice – so helpful it is one of their core resources in helping them rebuild and regulate their own nervous system.
Shay and Imogen have been collaborating for over three years to offer courses, workshops and programs for people dealing with trauma or stress. In this collaboration Shay’s experience as a trauma survivor and their understanding of the neuroscience relating to trauma is paired with practical tools and concepts from the Alexander Technique and Imogen’s BodyIntelligence work.
Imogen Ragone, M.AmSAT (She/Her) has been a certified teacher of the Alexander Technique since 2006, and a student of the work for well over 20 years. She initially came to Alexander Technique to help her with chronic neck and shoulder pain and tension. It did – and gave her MUCH more than she ever imagined. Imogen has now developed her own unique approach, BodyIntelligence, that offers a path to embodied mindfulness that is gentle and non-coercive. This means it is more accessible and effective when you are feeling stressed or anxious, and makes it especially valuable to traumatized people. Imogen was born and raised in England, and has lived in the US now for over 30 years. She has been successfully working with clients online, both individually and in groups, since 2014.

Shay Seaborne, CPTSD (They/Them) is a survivor of developmental trauma and medical trauma, and has Complex PTSD (CPTSD). Out of necessity they have studied and learned about the neurobiology of fear, trauma, and PTSD for over seven years. Shay writes, speaks, and makes art to convey their experiences as well as their understanding of the neurobiology of fear, trauma theory, and principles of trauma recovery. Shay wishes everyone could recognize PTSD is not a mental health problem, but a neurophysiological condition rooted in dysregulation. Our mainstream culture is neuro-negative, and we need to understand we can heal ourselves and each other through awareness, understanding, and safe connection.
