What does it mean to be fed—not just with food, but with care, presence, and attunement? In the early kitchens of our lives, where relationships simmer alongside dinner plates, our capacity to receive nourishment is formed. Was it safe to be full? Or did hunger feel more familiar? We begin in the gut and the breath—where digestion, trauma, and attachment first root themselves. Here, we tune into the body’s quiet knowing. We bring our attention to the gut as a place of intuition and decision-making, where attachment lives not only in feelings but in enzymes, acids, the microbiome and the slow churn of digestion. Join Sarah Peyton for a journey into the intersections of nourishment, trust, and relational metabolism.

Our immune systems don’t just fight off germs—they remember experiences. They carry the imprints of betrayal and belonging, of safety and suspicion. In the ecology of our bodies, relationships leave residue: inflammation, changes and modifications to cells, and epigenetic movement. What patterns of protection and perception have become embedded in our tissue? What stories does your immune system carry from the relationships that shaped you? How does your body decide what is welcome, and what must be defended against, and how to prioritize its resources? What might it mean to allow nourishment again? Join Sarah Peyton for an exploration of the biology of boundaries and the tender intelligence of our inner defenders.

What happens when the people we needed most were not there? When early echoes of absence become background noise in our adult lives, shaping our sense of what connection even is? Alarmed aloneness is not just a moment; it’s a state that can settle in the bones. In this session, we look gently at the long arc of this pattern—the ways it shows up in our nervous system, and the surprising pathways toward soothing and repair. Join Sarah Peyton for a dive into the roots and routes of healing from chronic relational absence.

What does it take to soften into the now? To meet another person without armoring or fantasy, without scanning for danger or rehearsing disappointment? Living in reality is a brave act—a dance with trust, and a flirtation with surrender. In this session, we explore what happens when we let go of the roles we learned to play and listen instead for what the moment invites. Join Sarah Peyton for a look at reality as a relational space, alive with the potential for new nervous system patterns and deepened trust.

When trauma, whether its natural disaster or violence caused by humans, slices through a group, what’s left in its wake? Sometimes numbness, shock and silence. Sometimes shame. Sometimes we act out with violence against the people we love the most. This session invites us into the collective healing of identity—what it means to be part of something larger than ourselves, after rupture. How do we mourn what was lost? How do we listen to each other’s pain without collapsing or competing? Join Sarah Peyton for a journey into the relational fields of community, trauma, and the slow rebuilding of trust through solidarity.

As time paints lines on our faces and slows our steps, how does our inner dialogue age with us? Is your self-relationship one of kindness, or criticism? In the aging nervous system, compassion is not a luxury. Compassion is medicine. This session reviews how the brain and body evolve with age, and how our unconscious contracts suspend us in judgment against ourselves. Join Sarah Peyton to reflect on what it means to grow older in relationship with oneself. We invite warmth, curiosity, and the possibility of rewiring old loops into new tenderness.

What happens when the body expects to be blamed? To be the one left out, called out, or cast aside? Scapegoating is a relational wound that leaves deep grooves in the nervous system, teaching us to anticipate harm before it arrives. This session explores the origins of that wound—and the gentle, courageous work of healing it. What does your body believe about your place in the group? And what becomes possible when we interrupt the story that harm is inevitable? Join Sarah Peyton for a compassionate exploration of scapegoating, belonging, and repair.

Do you ever long to have friends and partners be really interested in you? Do you love it when they can follow along with you and ask two, even three questions in a row about what you are experiencing? When we really matter to ourselves, and our anxieties start to fade, we begin to notice when we are relationally bored, and a new awareness can emerge into a subtle noticing of the quiet textures of our relationships. This session invites us to explore boredom as a signal, and to make new efforts and requests, and to be drawn toward new sorts of relationships. Are we being met with curiosity? Are we extending it in return? What happens when we turn toward our partners or friends not from fear, but from genuine presence? Join Sarah Peyton for a deep dive into the heart of relational boredom, and the possibility it holds for richer, more attuned connection.
