Rewiring for Resilience

About this course:

Do you get easily stressed, anxious and overwhelmed? You might have tried many wellness techniques but nothing has really worked to get you that lasting shift you need to feel calm, balanced and resilient.

Rest assured you are not alone. Anxiety and stress affect ¼ people in New Zealand and data shows that we are more stressed and feeling less resilient than ever. We'll look at why this is as we explore the science of stress in the context of 21st Century living, the pandemic and the current climate of constant change and uncertainty. And most importantly, what we can do about it.

Join us for this engaging, interactive workshop, where we’ll unpack how Neuroscience tells us many of us are unknowingly and unfortunately wiring our brains for patterns of chronic stress and anxiety. More importantly, we'll explore why stress itself is not the problem and what we can instead shift our focus to, to rewire our own brains for calm and resilience. All with a self-led wellbeing practice that only takes a few minutes a day.

The challenge with modern life…

Our body has a way of sending us warning signals when something isn’t working and we need to change it or slow down. 

Life is full of beauty and promise, but the busyness of modern life with our constant digital connectedness, family, community and work demands, endless to do lists and the pressure we put on ourselves, is taking its toll.
