SUMMARY:Body Wisdom 2: Redefining self-care and self-soothing through the nervous system and how we relate to it.
DESCRIPTION:Join us tap into your innate needs and rediscover a healing wisdom in each one of us.\nIn the BODY WISDOM series we aim to work step by step to detangle myths and biases that concern our mental health\, somatic health\, and holistic health in general. \nNowadays self-care is often understood as buying yourself another piece of clothing\, having a bath\, or feasting on food. While all of these are nothing wrong in moderation\, they are not the tools for long-lasting\, holistic well-being. \nWhat does it truly mean to self-soothe and self-care in a relational manner? \nOne of the most direct and rather quick ways to feel regulated\, vital\, and connected more often than stressed\, disconnected\, and detached is to connect to our nervous system through our body. Our nervous system connects\, mediates\, records any type of connection and makes us aware of it. It is also not only a bunch of nerve cells\, but nerve fibers too that wrap around connective tissue in our bodies. Through our bodies we can impact\, regulate\, and connect our nervous system by introducing new movement patterns\, awareness of senses\, new way of safety and connecting and compassionate witnessing. \nSelf-soothing and self-care is sensing\, feeling\, and acting on the true needs of our body\, mind\, and soul. \nWe will also discuss practical mindset approaches to let go of any worthiness issues that may arise during the somatic portion of the workshop. \nTools used during the session: short intro to nervous system connections\, somatic meditation\, bodywork with vagus nerve\, authentic movement practice\, reflections and breathwork. \nTo attend this event\, please register via this form. (https://forms.gle/7DR8aJyj9oxjziK47)  \n\nDuration: 2-2\,5h \nPrice: 350NOK \nPlaces are limited to 15 people. \nIf you have\, bring your own mat or a blanket. \nPeople who need financial support\, please contact us on lessstress.art@gmail.com. \n\nFacilitators:\nŽivilė Virkutytė is an entrepreneur\, theatre and dance artist\, Yoga teacher (300 RYT\, Mysore)\, somatic therapy alumni (Linda Hartley Institute of Integrative Bodywork and Movement Therapy\, UK) and a co-creator of Less Stress project and podcast. In the last 3 years Živilė has been researching\, learning practically applying trauma and collective trauma teachings from Thomas Hübl\, Polyvagal Theory aspects from Stephen Porges and Deb Dana. \nMichael Kent Hellerslien is an executive coach and author of the book “Win On Your Terms: The Five-Step Process To Turn Your Inner Critic Into Your Inner Coach So You Can Be Cool\, Calm And Collected No Matter What”.  Michael left the corporate world after serving as a Key Witness in a securities fraud investigation by Okokrim. The experience left Michael fascinated by why people do what they do.

SUMMARY:Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace: Microaggressions vs. Microaffirmations
DESCRIPTION:Diversity and inclusion in the workplace is imperative for a sustainable\, competitive and innovative company and society at large. Diversity also goes beyond the outward perception of a company – it includes how the internal structures work and signal the value systems of an organization’s management or leadership team. \nThis series is designed by Diversify to centre Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace. We look forward to seeing you! \n\nIn our Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace session for September\, we will discuss microaggressions and microaffirmations. \nMicroaggressions are defined as the everyday\, subtle\, intentional — and oftentimes unintentional — interactions or behaviors that communicate some sort of bias toward historically marginalized groups.\n \nMicro-affirmations are small acknowledgment of another person’s value. It’s a subtle act of inclusion and kindness that goes a long way in building a culture of belonging. \n\nSpeakers to be announced soon! \nThis event is FREE to attend. Please register HERE to receive the zoom link.

SUMMARY:Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace: LGBTQIA+
DESCRIPTION:Diversity and inclusion in the workplace is imperative for a sustainable\, competitive and innovative company and society at large. Diversity also goes beyond the outward perception of a company – it includes how the internal structures work and signal the value systems of an organization’s management or leadership team. \nThis series is designed by Diversify to centre Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace. We look forward to seeing you! \n\nDiversity and Inclusion in the Workplace: LGBTQIA+ \nJune is Pride Month\, a month dedicated to uplifting LGBTQIA+ voices\, celebrating LGBTQIA+ culture and supporting LGBTQIA+ rights. It commemorates the years of struggle for civil rights and the ongoing pursuit of justice\, equity and equality for the LGBTQIA+ community.  \nLGBTQIA+ is an inclusive acronym that describes either a person’s sexual orientation or gender identity such as lesbian\, gay\, bisexual\, transgender\, questioning/queer\, intersex\, asexual/aromantic/agender\, pansexual\, and allies. \nGender identity describes a person’s internal sense of being female\, male\, or someone outside of that gender binary\, while sexual orientation refers to ‘a person’s sexual and emotional attraction to another person and the behavior and/or social affiliation that may result from this attraction.’ \nPeople from the LGBTQIA+ community face discrimination and hate regularly in their personal lives\, workplaces and in public spaces. Furthermore\, the intersectionality of traits such as race\, ethnicity\, religion can influence their experience and lead to discrimination on multiple fronts. In the workplace\, they’re subjected to microaggressions like being asked inappropriate questions and hearing homophobic jokes and comments. Conscious and unconscious bias can prevent them from being hired or getting a promotion or opportunity at work. Many LGBTQIA+ individuals feel the need to hide their identity in the workplace for fear of discrimination\, which causes high levels of stress\, anxiety and other mental health issues among them.  \nDuring this session of Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace\, we will discuss how workplaces and organisations can create a genuinely inclusive culture for LGBTQIA+ employees. On an individual level\, using pronouns in email signatures\, on social media profiles\, and stating them in meetings\, being mindful of using gender neutral language and calling out discriminatory behaviours are some of the ways to be active allies. \nFor companies\, using gender neutral language\, diverse visuals on the website and options beyond male and female on the job application can help attract a more diverse workforce\, while including anti-discrimination and harassment policies that address sexual orientation\, gender identity and gender expression as prohibited grounds of discrimination can help retain this workforce. \nIn this session\, we will discuss  \n\nHow can we ensure that workplaces have strong inclusive policies and practices in place? \nHow can they attract\, successfully recruit and retain LGBTQIA+ talent? \nHow can companies create a safe environment for employees of all sexualities and gender expressions to reveal as much or as little as they want? \nHow can we\, as individuals\, be active allies to the LGBTQIA+ community? \n\nJoin us to explore these questions and many more.\n\nThis event is FREE to attend. Please register below to receive the zoom link. \n\nAbout the speakers:\n  \nChi Lee (they/them/theirs) \nChi is a practicing artist with over two decades of design/build experience\, working with global retail companies such as Tiffany & Co.\, Ralph Lauren\, Reed Krakoff\, Tommy Hilfiger\, and others.

SUMMARY:Kundalini Fusion Workshop
DESCRIPTION:This event will take place on Saturday\, December 19th.  \nKundalini Fusion is an energizing and strengthening class\, as well as being a physical approach to reaching a tranquil\, meditative mind. You will learn different breathing techniques and Kundalini exercises that you can practice on your own for an efficient energy shot\, or to reach a deep\, meditative state. \nKundalini Fusion is built up as a dynamic flow class\, fused with elements from Kundalini. Kundalini is a style of yoga characterised by repetitive movements coupled with a specific breath. This awakens the energy body in a unique way so you can access deeper parts of yourself and build new neural pathways. \nThese workshops are a simple way to explore Kundalini yoga both for those new to Kundalini and for those needing a revival in their existing practice. You get both the physical benefits of a dynamic flow\, as well as the more direct meditative/spiritual effects from Kundalini. \nIris Straume teaches Kundalini Fusion originally created by her teacher Vidya J. Heisel\, but the class sequence is Iris’ own. Heisel created what she called Kundalini Fusion as a more playful approach to the method\, freed from the strict doctrines. Through Kundalini Fusion the healing properties of Kundalini is conveyed in a modern and accessible way. Come and learn for yourself! \nAttending one 2 hour workshop is a great introduction to the practice.\nAttending all three workshops will better integrate the practice in your life if you wish to practice it on your own. \nAbout Iris\nIris started practicing yoga at the age of 19. She has explored a myriad of different styles\, and most of her training is in the dynamic styles of yoga. Ashtanga has been her main practice for many years\, and in recent years Kundalini yoga and meditation has become important ingredients in her practice. Iris has taught yoga for six years\, and full time since 2018. She teaches weekly classes at Hiyoga\, as well as workshops\, trainings\, and retreats. Her practice and teachings are based on the principle that there are several paths leading to the same end\, and that is liberation through dedicated\, sustained practice. The specific style and method of practice might look different for each individual. Besides yoga\, Iris is passionate about kitesurfing\, wave surfing\, and being in nature. \nTraining:\nRYT 200 Ashtanga Vinyasa with Global Yoga Shala\nRYT 300 Ashtanga Vinyasa with Hiyoga/Basia L. Larsen\n50H Yin Yoga Teacher Training with Alexandra Atterbrand\nRYT 150 Advanced Yoga Teacher Training with Frog Lotus Yoga \nShorter trainings/ immersions:\nAshtanga immersions with Mark Robberts & Deepika Mehta\, and Gregor Maehle\nYoga philosophy with Mark Stephens\nTherapeutic yoga in mental health work with Kari Lorentzen\nJivamukti immersion with Yogeswari\nKundalini Tantra with Uma Inder\nHandstand trainings \n\nCost: \nSingle Workshop: NOK400 \nMax attendees: 10 \n\n*To reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection\, we are taking precautions to keep participants safe and decrease exposure to the virus. \nBefore attending this event\, please be aware of the following rules: \n\nOnly participants who have purchased a ticket beforehand are able to attend\, in order to help us ensure having a safe number of people in our space at any time.\nPlease wash your hands or use antibacterial solution for at least 20 secs when you arrive at HerSpace.\nPlease keep a minimum of 1-meter distance to all persons and wear a mask when that is not possible.\nShared equipment\, including yoga mats\, paint brushes\, toys\, will be disinfected directly after use.

SUMMARY:Kundalini Fusion Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Kundalini Fusion is an energizing and strengthening class\, as well as being a physical approach to reaching a tranquil\, meditative mind. You will learn different breathing techniques and Kundalini exercises that you can practice on your own for an efficient energy shot\, or to reach a deep\, meditative state. \nKundalini Fusion is built up as a dynamic flow class\, fused with elements from Kundalini. Kundalini is a style of yoga characterised by repetitive movements coupled with a specific breath. This awakens the energy body in a unique way so you can access deeper parts of yourself and build new neural pathways. \nThese workshops are a simple way to explore Kundalini yoga both for those new to Kundalini and for those needing a revival in their existing practice. You get both the physical benefits of a dynamic flow\, as well as the more direct meditative/spiritual effects from Kundalini. \nIris Straume teaches Kundalini Fusion originally created by her teacher Vidya J. Heisel\, but the class sequence is Iris’ own. Heisel created what she called Kundalini Fusion as a more playful approach to the method\, freed from the strict doctrines. Through Kundalini Fusion the healing properties of Kundalini is conveyed in a modern and accessible way. Come and learn for yourself! \nAttending one 2 hour workshop is a great introduction to the practice.\nAttending all three workshops will better integrate the practice in your life if you wish to practice it on your own. \nAbout Iris\nIris started practicing yoga at the age of 19. She has explored a myriad of different styles\, and most of her training is in the dynamic styles of yoga. Ashtanga has been her main practice for many years\, and in recent years Kundalini yoga and meditation has become important ingredients in her practice. Iris has taught yoga for six years\, and full time since 2018. She teaches weekly classes at Hiyoga\, as well as workshops\, trainings\, and retreats. Her practice and teachings are based on the principle that there are several paths leading to the same end\, and that is liberation through dedicated\, sustained practice. The specific style and method of practice might look different for each individual. Besides yoga\, Iris is passionate about kitesurfing\, wave surfing\, and being in nature. \nTraining:\nRYT 200 Ashtanga Vinyasa with Global Yoga Shala\nRYT 300 Ashtanga Vinyasa with Hiyoga/Basia L.

SUMMARY:Creative Fridays: Handmade Cloth Napkins with Warmfolk
DESCRIPTION:Cloth table napkins add a special touch to mealtimes and is a great alternative to disposable serviettes for every meal. Back in the day\, Norwegian families gave personalized napkin rings to each family member. Dinner napkins could be reused rather than washed immediately after each meal. Your handmade dinner napkins can add to the ritual of mealtime and bring back this time honoured practice. There’s just something novel to using cloth napkins for everyday occasions and not limiting its use to fancy functions. \nDaisy will guide us through the easy process of making a set of four double-sided napkins. Bring fabric with your favorite pattern or upcycle something special like a well used table cloth that holds meaning to you. A set of four table napkins uses 2 pieces of fabric measuring 2 meters. If bringing your own fabric\, make sure both pieces of your woven (not knit) fabrics. If you don’t want to bring your own materials\, fabric will be available at the event for NOK200 for 2m of material. \nWe will have sewing stations ready and looking forward to creating with you. \nCost: NOK200\nMax Participants: 8 \nAbout WarmFolk & Daisy \n \n\nWarmFolk quilts and patterns reflect a love of traditional craft and a celebration of modern aesthetics. Daisy Aschehoug created WarmFolk as a way to move her teaching and quilt design forward in the quilting industry\, while also pursuing various art quilt endeavors. \nDaisy Aschehoug currently lives in Nesodden\, Norway. She grew up among sewing machines and fabric\, but it wasn’t till her thirties that she finally asked her mother to teach me to sew. Quilting offered an opportunity to combine her new love for sewing with all of the art classes that she’d taken throughout my life. She realized a passion for selecting fabrics to incorporate into traditional and modern quilt patterns. \nDaisy has been making quilts since 2010 and designing quilts for magazines since 2016. She is most passionate about the art of modern traditionalism and incorporating curved piecing into utility quilts. She is a member of the Modern Quilt Guild and the Studio Art Quilt Associates. \nShe has a masters in Environmental Studies from the University of Montana\, and spent several years in the United States helping federal and state governments work with communities to develop best practices for managing natural resources. Now that she is fully immersed in designing\, making\, and teaching the art of quilting\, she is excited to explore how the resources she uses in her craft can reflect socially and environmentally sustainable practices.

SUMMARY:Doing the Work: Hvit er også en hudfarge
DESCRIPTION:In the last few months we have been hosting Thursday conversations to navigate how we can better show up and act for racial justice. We’ve had some powerful exchanges of experiences and ideas. Regardless of the language\, the message is the same. It is time to engage with our Norwegian community on the topic of race. \nJoin us på norsk this Tuesday\, 29th of September\, to open up the conversation on racism\, for the locals. \nHvit er også en hudfarge \nFor oss som har hvit hud så er hudfarge noe vi kan velge å tenke på\, for deretter å ikke tenke mer på det. Oftest er det våre melanin-rike venner og kollegaer som har den utakknemlige jobben av å få oss til å reflektere\, stille spørsmål og handle annerledes når vi vet bedre. \nPå møtet vil du møte andre hvite mennesker som velger å ta samtalen om rasisme\, om hvithet\, og som forsøker å bedre måten de stiller opp for melanin-rike mennesker i livet og samfunnet sitt. Vi vil utforske hva hvithet betyr for vår identitet\, gjøre en refleksjons øvelse og snakke i små grupper om hvilke begrep og konsepter som kan være nyttige for å forstå rasisme og anti-rasisme i Norge. \nVelkommen til vår samtale for \n\nå lære mer om hvordan rasisme strukturerer samfunnet og angår oss alle\nutforske rasisme som tema i et rom der alle spørsmål er lov\ngjør et forsøk\, kanskje ikke få det til\, men fortsette å prøve\nmøte andre mennesker som også vil gjøre mer i arbeidet mot rasisme i Oslo\n\nDette er en del av en serie vi har hittil ført på engelsk Doing the Work\, men om du ennå ikke har deltatt\, så håper vi denne samtalen er noe du vil være med på.

SUMMARY:Creative Fridays: Make your own bento bags
DESCRIPTION:Bento bags are a popular Japanese style of bag. They are called azuma bukuro which translates to “good fortune bag”. You can use these bento bags for bulk shopping\, gift wrapping\, a lunch box\, and even a camera bag. \nDaisy will guide us through the easy process of making our own bags. Bring fabric with your favorite patterns or upcycle something special like a childhood bed sheet set. Each bento bag uses 2 pieces of fabric. If bringing your own fabric\, make sure both pieces of your woven (not knit) fabrics are each 30 cm x 100 cm (11 1/2 inches x 40 inches). If you don’t want to bring your own materials\, fabric will be available at the event for 100 kroner/bag. \nWe will have sewing stations ready and looking forward to creating with you. \nCost: NOK200\nMax Participants: 8 \nAbout WarmFolk & Daisy \n \nWarmFolk quilts and patterns reflect a love of traditional craft and a celebration of modern aesthetics. Daisy Aschehoug created WarmFolk as a way to move her teaching and quilt design forward in the quilting industry\, while also pursuing various art quilt endeavors. This site is currently in development but will soon include a range of products and services all designed to keep you and your loved ones happy and warm. Or “koselig” as they say in Norway. \nDaisy Aschehoug currently lives in Nesodden\, Norway. She grew up among sewing machines and fabric\, but it wasn’t till her thirties that she finally asked her mother to teach me to sew. Quilting offered an opportunity to combine her new love for sewing with all of the art classes that she’d taken throughout my life. She realized a passion for selecting fabrics to incorporate into traditional and modern quilt patterns. \nDaisy has been making quilts since 2010 and designing quilts for magazines since 2016. She is most passionate about the art of modern traditionalism and incorporating curved piecing into utility quilts. She is a member of the Modern Quilt Guild and the Studio Art Quilt Associates. \nShe has a masters in Environmental Studies from the University of Montana\, and spent several years in the United States helping federal and state governments work with communities to develop best practices for managing natural resources. Now that she is fully immersed in designing\, making\, and teaching the art of quilting\, she is excited to explore how the resources she uses in her craft can reflect socially and environmentally sustainable practices. \n
