Recharge & Reset: A Somatic Practice for Self-Compassion 🌿✨

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 💛 *
