8:30AM - 10:30AM • Drama Free
Presenter: Laurie Trace
​
As our world becomes increasingly unpredictable, it’s easy to get swept away by things we cannot control. The illusion of control can offer a short-term sense of security, but the price we pay is rarely worth it. If you find yourself frustrated, exhausted, reactive, hopeless, or unappreciated despite all of your efforts in relationships, you may be living in the ‘drama triangle” without your knowledge. This event will highlight three common roles that inevitably create and prolong suffering in our relationship to others. Bringing awareness to these well-intentioned, universal, subconscious parts of self is the first step towards genuine security, even in the midst of chaos. This simple model will give you practical steps for preserving your energy with confidence, clarity and compassion.

11:00AM - 12:30PM • State Shifting with Breath
Presenter: Trevor Wyllthawk

Practices such as yoga and meditation have become increasingly popular for those in search of peace of mind.

During this event, you will explore the mindful use of breathing practices as a means for promoting a healthy mind and body. Overthinking, agitation, stress and fear lead to dysregulated breathing patterns and, vice versa, suboptimal breathing habits promote challenging physical, emotional and mental states. When consciously applying breathing practices, you will rest more naturally in mind and body and allow greater ease in your daily life.
