The Savor Complex

The Savor Complex

SAVORIST: One whose life experiences have led them to recognize an urgent need for them to slow down so that they can acknowledge harm, detangle/deschool from harm, and notice important connections. SAVORING has a core practice that allows us to tap into seven senses to bring ourselves into an awareness of our savor complex. We learn, through the core practice, what a savor complex is, and how to install one to prepare for, or to integrate significant life experiences.
