  • 8 Lessons

As an anti-capitalist entrepreneur, you’ve probably felt the tension between your values and the demands of the capitalist systems we live within. You’re building something meaningful—something rooted in equity, liberation, and community—but the pressure to “hustle,” “grind,” and “produce” can take a serious toll. That’s where Grounded: Nervous System Healing 101 comes in.

🔑 Key Challenges Anti-Capitalist Entrepreneurs Face:

- Burnout: The constant push to do more, even when it feels misaligned, can leave you exhausted.

- Eco-Anxiety & Guilt: Navigating the contradictions of running a business while resisting exploitative systems can feel overwhelming.

- Imposter Syndrome: The fear of not “doing enough” or not being “perfect” can sabotage your progress and peace of mind.

- Isolation: Doing work outside the norm can feel lonely, especially when your values challenge the status quo.

🌱 How This Course Helps You Reclaim Your Purpose & Peace

Nervous System Healing 101 equips you with tools to navigate these challenges without compromising your integrity or well-being. Here’s how:

1. Expand Your Window of Resilience

Learn to identify when you’re stuck in survival mode—fight, flight, or freeze—and how to move toward regulation and ease. This helps you make decisions from a place of clarity, not overwhelm.

2. Reclaim Your Time & Energy

Capitalism thrives on making us feel like we’re never doing enough. Nervous system healing helps you step off the hamster wheel and reclaim your time, rest, and joy as acts of resistance.

3. Connect with Your Authentic Leadership

When you’re grounded and regulated, you’re better able to show up as your full, authentic self. You’ll lead with confidence and attract clients, collaborators, and opportunities that align with your vision.

4. Foster Longevity in Your Work

The systems we’re dismantling weren’t built overnight—and they won’t be unlearned overnight, either. Healing your nervous system ensures you can stay committed to the long-term work without burning out.

Nervous System Healing 101 Is a Game-Changer for:

🌿 Entrepreneurs navigating the emotional weight of running a business in opposition to capitalism.

🌿 Creatives and makers looking for sustainable ways to balance passion and profit.

🌿 Coaches, consultants, and healers who want to bring trauma-informed practices to their work.

This course is inspired by both, Vesta Business School's and Terra Incognita Media's communities of anti-capitalist, feminist killjoy, advocates, entrepreneurs, and creatives who are committed to weaving activism into their work. And in order to do that we must start with healing our nervous systems.

This course includes:

  1. Nervous System Basics - Polyvagal Theory and Survival States

    • Discover how the nervous system perceives safety and danger, and learn about the foundational survival states that affect our daily experiences and responses. Gain insight into how trauma lives within the body and influences our actions, with a focus on practical ways to build resilience.

  2. Befriending Our Window of Regulation

    • Explore the Window of Regulation and how oppressive systems can narrow this window, leaving us in chronic states of survival. Learn strategies to expand your capacity for resilience, creating space for calm, clarity, and sustained activism.

  3. Identifying Triggers and Glimmers

    • Understand cues that signal danger and safety, learning to shift between states of protection and connection. Through awareness and practical exercises, you’ll identify and cultivate personal sources of safety to support grounding and regulation.

  4. Self-Regulation and Co-Regulation Practices

    • Dive into techniques for both self-regulation and co-regulation, designed to help you remain present in moments of stress and find support in safe, connected relationships. These practices form the foundation for nurturing resilience and connection within community spaces.

  5. Integration and Application

    • As the course progresses, you’ll be guided through reflective prompts and exercises that encourage a deeper understanding of your nervous system’s responses. The course culminates in strategies for applying these tools in your daily life and activism work.

If you’re ready to prioritize your well-being while building a business that reflects your values, this course is for you.
