Onlne & In-Person Classes
Classes & Group Programs
Mark offers small, experiential classes designed to support personal growth, emotional well-being, self-understanding, and practical life change. Classes combine clear teaching with guided exercises, reflection, discussion, and practical tools you can use in everyday life. Depending on the topic, they may also include meditation, guided imagery, hypnotherapy, nervous-system regulation, or other experiential practices. The intention is to create a supportive and engaging learning environment where you can deepen your understanding, explore new perspectives, and develop skills that will continue to serve you well beyond the class itself.
Classes are offered both in person in Nevada City, California, and online through Zoom, depending on the program.
Group sizes are intentionally kept small so there is room for personal attention, meaningful discussion, and a more connected learning experience.

Inner Peace: Regulate Your Nervous System
A six-week experiential class for developing greater calm, resilience, self-understanding, and a more supportive relationship with yourself and your body. Many people spend much of their lives trying to manage stress through thought alone. Yet stress, anxiety, overwhelm, shutdown, and emotional reactivity are also experiences of the nervous system and body.
This class will help you understand what your nervous system is doing, why it responds the way it does, and how to work with it in practical and compassionate ways. Rather than trying to force yourself to calm down, think positively, or become a different person, you will learn how to recognize your own patterns and gently support movement toward greater regulation, presence, and inner stability.
Over the six weeks, we will explore topics such as:
- Understanding the nervous system and its protective responses
- Recognizing activation, shutdown, and regulation
- Developing greater awareness of what your body is communicating
- Grounding and returning to the present moment
- Breathing and nervous-system regulation
- Movement and releasing built-up activation
- Working with stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm
- Developing a more compassionate relationship with yourself
- Strengthening trust in the body
- Creating healthier boundaries and responses to stress
- Building practical regulation skills for everyday life
- Cultivating greater inner peace without requiring life to become perfectly calm
The class is experiential as well as educational. You will receive practical exercises, guided practices, and written material that you can continue using on your own.
