Healing isn’t about erasing pain — it’s about returning. When the body finds rhythm again after being stuck in defense, safety becomes movement, and presence becomes art. Across voices from The Awake Network’s Nervous System Regulation in Therapy summit, this reflection explores how creativity, co-regulation, and compassion gently rewire the nervous system — reminding us that life wants to move again.

Even though the NeuroSalon project was first introduced in 2022, its vision feels timeless—bringing art and neuroscience together to show how creativity keeps the brain alive, adaptable, and endlessly curious.
