The holidays can bring joy, but also stress, old wounds, and overwhelm.

No one pushes your buttons quite like family and even with all the inner work you’ve done, one comment from a family member can pull you right back into old patterns: snapping, shutting down, over-explaining, or people-pleasing just to keep the peace.

This transformational 3-hour mind-body-soul experience is designed to help you have a successful holiday season by staying grounded, centered and connected to those you love - even when they push your buttons.

In this immersive workshop, you’ll:

• Understand why your triggers exist and how holiday dynamics awaken old family patterns.

• Identify your unique nervous system responses (fight, flight, freeze, or fawn) and learn to regulate them in real time.

• Reframe your reactions into empowered responses so you can stop replaying the past hurt and start enjoying the present joy.

• Release stored tension and emotional charge through somatic movement, breathwork, and guided energy healing.

• Anchor in peace and clarity with a restorative meditation and savasana.
  
  

You’ll also receive the Navigating Family Triggers Workbook (PDF) to continue your practice throughout the holiday season.

This isn’t about “keeping calm” or pretending everything’s fine - it’s about learning to recognize and heal what’s beneath the reaction, so you can:

• Handle family gatherings with grace and ease.

• Stay centered when others lose their cool.

• Communicate your truth with confidence, compassion, and clarity.

You’ll walk away feeling grounded, present, and prepared to experience genuine joy and connection - not just survive the holidays, but thrive through them.

Join Lyndsey Stropkey and John Welton to rest, receive, and rejuvenate your mind, body, and spirit during this restorative practice. We will breathe and connect inward with some gentle movement to begin. Then, Lyndsey & John will assist you as you set up in restorative yoga postures using cushions, blocks, blankets, and chairs to support your body in completely letting go and relaxing. While you rest, Lyndsey and John will be practicing Reiki, both hands-on and hands off, as well as sound healing with toning, chanting, singing bowls, and live acoustic music. At times, we may use aromatherapy and gentle massage. Other certified healing arts practitioners may come in from time to time to nurture you as well. Reiki can be done with no physical contact if preferred. Please let the instructor know if this is your preference!

Presence is not performance—it is structural coherence. This workshop reveals presence as a frequency emitted from Core alignment, not personality expression. Participants practice dropping performance modes and reclaiming energetic precision through perception, breath, and spatial awareness.

Objectives

• Disentangle presence from visibility, approval, or output
• Anchor into Core Star and structural alignment
• Perceive the energetic impact of presence in the room
• Train silent transmission without efforting
