Begin the year with more capacity, not more pressure.

A Grounded Start to 2026

Skills, practices and clarity for a more sustainable year

In this 90-minute online workshop, you’ll learn simple nervous system tools, grounding practices and a practical Capacity Map to help you move through life and work with steadiness, clarity and a more sustainable rhythm.

If you’re ready for a year that feels less overwhelming and more spacious, this session is for you.

Why this workshop
matters now

Many of us start the year already stretched. We carry the pace, stress and expectations of the past year straight into the next — without ever pausing to notice what we actually need.
When our nervous system is overloaded, clarity drops, creativity dries up, and we lose the ability to make good decisions. It becomes harder to show up the way we want to.

This workshop gives you a grounded, practical reset.
A moment to land, breathe, reconnect with yourself, and gently expand your capacity for the year ahead.

What you’ll
walk away with

This is not a motivational talk or a list of resolutions.
It’s a practical, evidence-informed session designed to give you tools you can use immediately.

By the end, you will have:

Your personalised Capacity Map

A guided framework to help you clarify:

  • what nourishes you
  • what drains you
  • what rhythms and boundaries support you
  • what to prioritise to sustain your wellbeing and creativity

This becomes a reference you can return to all year.

A clearer understanding of your nervous system

Learn why capacity fluctuates, how stress affects your thinking and energy, and how to recognise early signs of depletion.

Simple practices you can use anywhere

Gentle, work-friendly grounding and settling practices you can draw on throughout the year to stay steady and connected.

Clarity for how you want to move through the year

Not resolutions. Not pressure. Just grounded commitments informed by your body, values and capacity.

A sense of connection and shared humanity

Because we regulate better together.
