Thank you for joining the Spring cohort of Nervous System Mastery ~ we’re thrilled to have you on board for this inward adventure!
Right now we’re finalising the guest experts and timings — but expect to hear back from us on March 3rd, 2025 with specific instructions for how to prepare appropriately and join the community for the Spring cohort.
🙋♂️ In the meantime...
There are a few things you can do to get setup and ready to begin.
The onboarding survey is designed to help you clarify what you’d like to get from this experience, as well as help us learn how to best support you.

There’s so much on offer in the NSM program. So we’ve made it easy for you to choose your own learning adventure, in the form of learning tracks. The learning track you choose depends on your time availability and capacity for depth.
Choose your Learning Tracks
- ☝️ In the onboarding form above, you selected your learning track. This selection simply tailors the weekly comms you receive from us. Note: your choice isn’t fixed and you can easily change later, this is more an initial framework to structure your learning around.
- 👇 Now, tailor the live sessions visible in your calendar by subscribing to your track of choice below.
Learning Track #1: Deep Dive (recommended)
🙋♂️ This Is For You If: You’re able to commit a little more time each week, you’re a returning alumni, or you already have a little familiarity with this type of work.
- 60 minutes every Friday (10am PST // 6pm GMT) for the weekly live sessions with Jonny
- 60 minutes to listen to the pre-recorded core curriculum and complete your workbook

Learning Track #2: Core Curriculum
🙋♂️ This Is For You If: You’re short on time and just want enough theory + info to receive benefits from the protocols, or you’re new to this work and looking to build a foundation before diving deeper at a future date.
You should aim to set aside 60 minutes on Fridays (10am PST // 6pm GMT) for the live sessions with Jonny plus 60 minutes to listen to the pre-recorded core curriculum and complete your workbook.

📚 Six Superb Books to Add to Your Reading Shelf
These are not required reading but will definitely support your learning journey & are highly recommended.
1 // ‘Anchored’ by Deb Dana – one of the most accessible and well-written books on the science of Polyvagal Theory & how to apply it to your everyday life with field-tested techniques.
2 // 'The Breathing Cure' by Patrick McKeown — an in-depth collection of breathing protocols backed by 20+ years of field research. You’ll never mouth breathe again after reading this…
3 // 'Widen the Window' by Elizabeth Stanley – a superb introduction to the science of trauma, what it means to increase resilience & research-backed tools for increasing your capacity in life.
4 // ‘Nurturing Resilience’ by Kathy Kain – a superb read, although more of a book for clinical practitioners or those who are looking for a deep dive into the world of somatic therapy & working through developmental trauma.
5 // ‘The Practice of Embodying Emotions’ by Raja Selvam, PhD ~ this is a book containing a treasure trove of research + practices for building greater embodied capacity to be with intense emotions. Highly recommended for those wishing to dive deeper.
6 // ‘The Myth of Normal’ by Gabor Maté ~ Fresh off the press (I’m still making my way through the 500+ pages myself) is Gabor’s attempt to distill over 4 decades of his clinical experience, making the case that the common definition of 'normal' is false & painting a compelling picture of what a saner society might look like.
