Rebalance, Reconnect, RESTORE

Description

When we feel stressed-out all day long and can’t switch off for a second, life often seems to speed up!  We try to catch up, by working harder or longer but, instead, overwhelm sneaks in to fuel anxiety. In turn, this may spiral us into a cycle of overthinking our actions, so we procrastinate more and achieve less! Or we can sense motivation slipping away, leaving us lacking energy and struggling with the basic demands of our day-to-day life.

Recognise any of this?

Then you’re certainly not alone.  This decade has seen more and more of us living like this; we tell ourselves that a pause or a holiday is just around the corner, but the reality is that living in a constant state of crisis alters our nervous system and it becomes impossible to be either productive, or switch off, when we need to!

You see, stress has pushed us more into our heads, our work and our daily tasks and away from nurturing ourselves and making time for meaningful relationships.  Instead, we need to work more within ourselves; fostering practices that help us to feel calm, safe and connected as well as building in adequate time for daily recovery.

This full-day experience offers a different perspective on how we can improve both our physical and psychological responses to stress. I’ll be joined by Physiotherapist, Sarah Lord and together we’ll be sharing  evidence-based approaches to help you understand how stress and anxiety affect your body and impact your daily life.  Then, most importantly, we’ll be explaining what you can do about it and why one approach can’t be applied to everyone!

Through somatic practices, yoga, breathwork, journaling and essential oils as well as taking time to be creative and expressive, you’ll discover how to reconnect with yourself and find connections with others.  You can expect a day of discovering new ways to resource yourself – including some that tap into your creativity and sense of fun – to build greater emotional resilience that will enable you to thrive, whatever life throws your way.

Refreshments and a delicious plant-based lunch are also included.
