Reclaiming Ourselves
Sociopolitical Grief & Neurofeedback
You are invited to a 3-week in-person series that uses neurofeedback, sharing, and creativity to help us cope with sociopolitical grief, especially around the decline of democracy, the rise of fascism, and the loss of human rights in the US and around the world. Listening to Grief and West Seattle Neurofeedback (Kelly) have teamed up to add another tool—neurofeedback—to your kit for dealing with the polycrisis.
Series Structure
Each session we’ll check in with each other and set an intention for the session. Then we’ll break into two groups: one group will receive neurofeedback with Kelly while the other group journals, creates, and discusses with Tamara. We’ll close each session by reconvening the entire group for a final sharing circle and goodbyes.

What Else to Know
You will be required to complete release forms, which we will send before the first session. They will also be available to sign in person.
EEG sensors are placed on the scalp and ears with easily removable conductive paste.
Bring anything that will help you feel comfortable, especially during neurofeedback. Perhaps it’s a soft lap blanket, a stabilizing bolster, cozy socks, or a favorite tea (hot water is available).
There is a kitchen with a microwave and coffee maker available for use. You are welcome to bring a lunch or snacks.
Please reach out by email with any questions.
“When I say we are “intervulnerable,” I mean we suffer together, whether consciously or unconsciously. Albert Einstein called the idea of a separate self an “optical delusion of consciousness.” Martin Luther King Jr. said that we are all connected in an “inescapable web of mutuality” . . . But in our intervulnerability is our salvation, because awareness of the mutuality of suffering impels us to search for ways to heal the whole, rather than encase ourselves in a bubble of denial and impossible individualism. At this point in history, it seems that we will either destroy ourselves or find a way to build a sustainable life together.”
