Burnout prevention and recovery are about more than taking a break – they call for reconnecting to our bodies, calming the nervous system, and creating the sense of safety that allows the mind to rest.
On Saturday, August 29th at 2:45 pm, we'll gather in front of OT301 (AnaMorphic Studio), where [Soroosh](https://sorooshsomatics.com/), a [somatic coach and experience designer](https://www.instagram.com/soroosh.somatics/), will guide us through a somatic practice that combines breath, gentle movement, and compassion to drop in from our thoughts into our bodies and calm our nervous system.
The practice will last until 5 pm, followed by an optional open space to stay a little longer, connect, and share with others. 🌻
🌿 What to expect:
• A gentle grounding to arrive and feel safe
• Tools to move from the mind into the bodily sensations
• Building your own "resilience anchor" — a calm place inside you can come back to anytime
• Softly meeting whatever's been weighing on you, with breath, movement, and a lot of kindness
✨ This workshop is for you if:
• You're exhausted but can't seem to slow down
• You feel disconnected from yourself, from people, from life
• You're carrying tension you can't quite put down
🌱 You'll leave with:
• A more grounded presence
• One simple practice to use whenever it all gets loud again
• A little more space between you and everything that's been pressing on you
💫 What to bring:
• Comfy clothes you can move gently in, and warm socks
• A water bottle
• Yourself, as you are 💛
