SUNDAY SCHOOL: A Guided Meditation

Sunday School takes those "Sunday Scaries" aka

overwhelm/anxiety/straight-up sadness

and turns it into

focus + confidence

so you're ready to dominate the work week ahead – all while still having fun and hanging out.

Expect an inspiring talk, guided meditation, journaling, and socializing, all in under 60 minutes - cause we all got sh*t to do!

Come as you are and please bring your own journal + pen.

P.S. Do you wanna come or know someone who'd want to come but don't have the budget for it right now? Email us and we'll hook it up! We have 5 free tickets for those who need on a first come first serve basis. Email hello@eatstretchnap.com to redeem :)

What's Sunday School about?

We're starting Sunday School because we wish there was somewhere we could go to get prepped for the week, clear our minds, and feel good on a Sunday without going to like “a whole thing,” or church, or something super spiritual, or zen. Of course, we could low-key meditate, journal and set intentions for the week on our own or with a coach, but we're craving the community, connection and the irl:

“I’m such a good person for being here” vibe😆

that used to come from going to church as kids - which hasn’t been a need, or want to do, for us for a long time. What we do want is to hang out with our friends and cool new people on a Sunday evening and just sit together, get our minds right for the work week ahead, and reframe our problems as opportunities without any religious or spiritual dogma.

This is where Sunday School was born! We all know "Sunday Scaries"/ anxieties suck, so we wanna end them. Not by running from them, but by tackling them head on! Together. So we can go to bed feeling less alone and overwhelmed, and instead sleep with confidence and a plan to dominate Monday, and every day after that.

If you feel the same, join us! Because you're 100%, absolutely, not alone.

EAT STRETCH NAP™ Workshop: Balance Your Energy Through the Meridians

EAT STRETCH NAP™ Workshop: Balance Your Energy Through the Meridians

eat stretch nap workshop

Learn meditative movements rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine to help you move out of overwhelm + into abundance, creativity + pleasure

In this intimate, two-hour EAT STRETCH NAP™ Workshop, you’ll tap into the qi or life-force of your body, mind and spirit through movements designed to activate your meridians, also known as energy pathways. The meridians are a bridge between your mind and body.

When this connection is strong - you’re intuitive, confident + feel good! Your energy channels weaken when you feel like your schedule stresses you out, you’re sitting at a desk hunched over all the time, or eating out too much...or maybe you’re recovering from a break-up and your heartlines need to be nourished and re-opened. Whatever the cause of your imbalance, this workshop rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine will help you feel more connected and inspired.

In this EAT STRETCH NAP™ Workshop you’ll learn:

-functional movements to help create better energy flow in body and mind

-simple postures that address the physical and physiological effects of a stressful modern life

-moving meditations that bring balance to your body, mind and spirit

Led by EAT STRETCH NAP™ Retreat Leader, Advanced Yoga Teacher + Ayurvedic Practitioner, Brian Witten. Learn more about Brian at bodybybrian.com or follow @holisticbodybybrian on Instagram.

After the workshop, enjoy a casual Q+A session with the team at REMIX to learn more about acupuncture, herbal medicine, eastern nutrition, reiki and fun products like Weed spray + Protection Candles and how they can further support your energy.

We're keeping this event small and intimate! Only 5 spots available.
