Dr. Stefanie Toise returns to offer Calm by Design ... tools to help you start your day by rooting yourself in a base of tranquility. Perfect for caregivers or anyone facing the day ahead with an overflowing plate!
How you wake up may not be your choice, but how you begin your day is.
The first moments of the morning can influence how you think, feel, and respond throughout the day. In this interactive workshop, you'll discover Morning Anchors™—simple, evidence-based practices drawn from behavioral science, positive psychology, mindfulness, and mind-body medicine that help you begin each day with greater calm, clarity, and confidence. These small, intentional habits create a foundation for better focus, healthier choices, and the capacity to meet life's challenges with greater resilience.
The workshop concludes with a deeply restorative guided Progressive Relaxation experience designed to quiet the mind, release physical tension, and help you experience what genuine calm feels like—not as an abstract idea, but as a state you can learn to access. As you gently return to full awareness, you'll immediately practice your new Morning Anchors™, creating a bridge between relaxation and everyday life. Rather than leaving calm behind when the session ends, you'll begin to experience how these simple practices can become the blueprint for starting each new day with greater intention.
A guided relaxation will be included.
