Chrysalis Wellness Circle

The Rest and Renewal Course unfolds across six sessions, five of which are online and facilitated by certified restorative practitioners and professional coaches. Participants gather in an online circle. We meet each other, set community agreements, and learn why rest and renewal practices are crucial to our health and wellness, particularly as leaders. Next, we look at rest not as an afterthought of care, but as an embodied practice with inter-spiritual roots. We see how neuroscience-backed rest practices can counter stress and burnout, bringing renewal, resilience, and embodied wisdom.

The cohort gathers for one in-person retreat session in Northern Italy, where we rest through land therapy and soak in healing thermal waters. When we return, we turn inward. We explore rest and renewal in our professional lives through our vision-making, intention-setting, and purposeful actions. We then practice renewal in relationships. We use conflict-resolution praxis to heal our relationships at work, with family, and with friends. Finally, we learn restorative ways of being that are sustainable so that we are continually renewed in every sphere of self, relationship, and work. This time is our Chrysalis so we can emerge transformed much like the butterfly.
