Calm the Mind & Cool Emotional Reactivity: Cultivating Clarity, Patience & Inner Ease
Saturday, July 4th, 10:00am - 3:00pm
In-Person Series
An Integrative Wellness Experience for Body • Mind • Lifestyle • Integration
Summer’s intensity can quietly increase internal heat, therefore affecting digestion, hormones, mood, and energy. This 4-week immersive experience is designed to help you regulate that heat through education, embodiment, and integrative lifestyle practices rooted in Ayurveda.
Calm the Mind & Cool Emotional Reactivity: Cultivating Clarity, Patience & Inner Ease
Saturday, July 4, 2026: 10:00 am - 3:00 pm
Summer heat doesn’t just affect the body. It rises into the mind. Thoughts can feel sharper. Reactions quicker. Patience thinner. You may notice yourself less tolerant and more easily triggered.
You may be experiencing:
Short temper
Conflict in relationships
Impatience
Feeling overstimulated
Comparison or judgment
Emotional overwhelm
This immersive session focuses on cooling the mental and emotional body. Through guided meditation, reflective practices, embodied awareness, seasonal cooking, and group connection, you’ll learn how to cultivate steadiness and compassion even in the heat. You’ll leave with daily tools to regulate emotional intensity, communicate more clearly, and maintain inner calm through the remainder of the season.
This session stands alone as a mental reset retreat.

The full moon can be a meaningful time for reflection and reset. Its natural cycle offers a helpful reminder to pause, reflect, release, and create more balance in both body and mind.
A full moon practice can also awaken our creativity and inner clarity. Whether you are working on creative projects or seeking fresh perspectives on life’s challenges, this is a beautiful time to let go of stagnant energy and make space for insight and renewal.
In this class, you will unwind and reset through slow, grounding yoga postures, allowing the body to open and the nervous system to settle. You will then move into a deeply restful Yoga Nidra—a guided, meditative relaxation that supports effortless release, inner healing, and integration.
This practice invites all to soften, to listen inward, and to welcome the spaciousness that the full moon brings.
You’re welcome to bring an eye pillow or anything that adds to your comfort.
