My Colouring Work Is Heading to the Polyvagal Institute Gathering 2025!
I’m beyond thrilled to share that my work will be featured at the upcoming Polyvagal Institute Gathering this October!
As part of their “down time” chill-out space, the Institute invited me to create calming, reflective colouring resources inspired by my book Learn, Colour, and Find Your Path to Nervous System Balance. This is a beautiful honour—and a full-circle moment for me as someone deeply passionate about nervous system education, creativity, and healing.
🎨 What I Created
For the event, I designed:
- Two full-sized colouring pages that gently guide participants through breathwork and nervous system awareness
- Two postcard-sized prints, including one science-inspired and one artistic reflection piece—each designed to be coloured and kept, or gifted as a glimmer of connection
These resources will be available to attendees throughout the Gathering as a way to unwind, regulate, and reconnect through art. You’ll find mandalas, breath cues, gentle reminders, and just enough science to ground you in Polyvagal Theory—all paired with space to slow down and colour.
🌿 Why It Matters
The nervous system is always listening. And sometimes, all it takes is a quiet moment, a breath, or a gentle stroke of colour to begin shifting our state toward safety. That’s the core idea behind my book, and the heart of these new resources.
📖 Want to Explore the Full Book?
If you’re curious about the full experience, you can find Learn, Colour, and Find Your Path to Nervous System Balance now on Amazon or explore more at emmaqueen.com.au. It’s perfect for therapists, coaches, or anyone on a self-discovery or healing journey.
🙏 Thank You, Polyvagal Institute
A huge thanks to the team at the Polyvagal Institute for the opportunity to be part of this powerful event. Their work in making Polyvagal Theory accessible and embodied is changing lives—and I’m honoured to contribute in my own colourful way.
