Chai & Thrive Series: Radiance Within – Six Foundations for Living in Balance
Join us for a warm, reflective afternoon over chai with Shabana Shah, founder of Radiance Within Wellness.
We are often told to treat wellness as a checklist: sleep more, eat better, move more, manage stress. This session steps back and asks a different question: What conditions help me feel more balanced, nourished, rested, and connected to myself?
Shabana introduces the traditional Unani Tibb framework of the Six Essential Factors of Life (Asbab Sitta Dharuriyya) and explores it through a contemporary lens:
Air and environment
Mental and emotional activity and rest
Physical activity and rest
Sleep and wakefulness
Elimination and retention
Nutrition
You will:
Learn the basics of Unani Tibb and how the six factors influence one another
Explore how modern routines can create imbalance
Reflect on which area of your life is asking for more attention
Leave with simple, practical ways to bring more balance into your days
Take home a reflection resource to keep exploring
This is an educational, conversational session, not another list of things you “should” be doing. Come as you are, bring your questions, and stay for the community.
