Meditation: RELEASE AND RESET
Overview
“If you get tired learn to rest, not to quit”
Research shows a significant gender gap in workplace burnout, with women bearing a disproportionate burden of stress, therefore prioritising women’s wellbeing is essential for addressing gender equality worldwide. Often, we delay addressing our health challenges, normalising unhealthy lifestyles which takes a toll on both physical and mental well-being. When we struggle to transition from busyness to a state of relaxation, recovery and rejuvenation, we remain trapped in fight or flight mode or resort to ineffective coping mechanisms, leading to health issues effecting performance and productivity.
Female talent is vital for global progress, therefore this transformation class is gentle reminder of your inherent strength and power to over come life challenges. Devoted to the women that want to make a difference but require assistance in transforming their relationship to stress. Discover effective techniques to release stress from the body and nurture inner resilience that can be effortlessly integrated into daily life. One woman’s self care becomes a powerful example and inspiration to outgrow and transform old models of living.
The meditation class runs for one hour, after each session, there’s an optional 30 minute sharing circle for insights and Q&A, we highly recommend as a wonderful opportunity to integrate. Attendee's can stay after for tea, coffee, connect or work on their creative ideas. Regular attendance supports to integrate these skills into everyday life.
