🌙 Sleep Well - A Yin nourishing evening w acupressure self-massage, qigong & herbal tea
We live in a world that rewards staying "on," and there's so much pressure on optimizing sleep and rest. It's a very lonely and frustrating experience when you're awake alone in the middle of the night, knowing that the rest of the world is in deep slumber, and you still have a long intense schedule the next day.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, sleep is an active process: yin energy rises, our Shen (thoughts and spirits) returns to our body, and the heart settles. And sleep issues are also never about sleep itself, it's just a symptom reflecting our unbalanced state.
This workshop is a gentle invitation to prepare your body for deeper sleep, through touch, breath, and simple movement you can use at home.
✨What to expect
A welcome tea with seasonal TCM herbs to clear summer heat and calm the mind (non-caffeinated)
A short intro to the TCM view of sleep and why it matters
Wellness Qigong to settle the body's energy downward
Guided acupressure self-massage on key points for rest and sleep
A grounding closing practice to send you off ready for a good night
All within a small group in a cozy dreamy teahouse
You'll leave with
A quieter mind and softer body
A simple bedtime acupressure routine you can take home
A deeper understanding of how we can rest better holistically
Wear comfy clothes. Zero experience needed.
Acupressure requires extra care during pregnancy or post-surgery recovery, so this workshop is best suited for those outside those situations.
