Ep 304 Peacewarts: Social Chemistry 101 - The Stabilizing Crystal (Class 4) We explore the concept of emotional contagion and how a single regulated nervous system can stabilize a group.

This class introduces the protocol for becoming a biological anchor in a panicked room. Homework: Look up Dr. John Snow’s mapping of the 1854 cholera outbreak. Write down one question about any of this episode's topics. If you don't have a question, write 'no question.' Optional: Practice Vagal Anchoring in a high-stress social situation.
