This one-hour experiential workshop introduces simple, trauma-informed resourcing practices that support faculty wellbeing while enhancing inclusive teaching environments. Through brief somatic, reflective, and mind-body invitations, participants will explore ways to pause, regulate, and restore attention—skills that are increasingly essential in today’s academic contexts. Grounded in principles of choice, accessibility, and inclusion, the workshop highlights how small, adaptable practices can support diverse nervous systems in the classroom without adding to instructional load. Faculty will leave with practical tools to foster presence, psychological safety, and sustainable engagement for both themselves and their students
