In a world of constant notifications, busy schedules and endless information, the ability to feel calm, present, and deeply relaxed has become one of life's greatest luxuries.

So, what has happened to us?

Our brains evolved over thousands of years to respond to occasional threats. Today, those threats look very different. Instead of escaping tigers, we're navigating overflowing inboxes, social media, 24-hour news, poor sleep, and the expectation of always being available. Our brains often interpret these as ongoing threats, leaving many of us living in a constant state of low-level "fight or flight" without even realising it. This isn't weakness, it's simply how we're wired.

Join us at Herb House for an inspiring conversation exploring how we can gently reset the nervous system and rediscover the power of true restoration.

We're delighted to welcome back our friend Peigin Crowley, founder of Ground Wellbeing, who will share her philosophy of creating rituals rather than treatments. Through the therapeutic power of touch, carefully chosen botanical ingredients and scents, Peigin’s approach supports the whole person, particularly during times of stress, recovery and significant life transitions.

Joining Peigin is Jane Newall, founder of Infinite8 Life and a Professional Health Coach. With an ILM Level 5 Diploma in Coaching & Mentoring, certification as a Firstbeat Heart Rate Variability Coach, and an MPhil (Distinction) from the University of Cambridge, Jane combines science with practical coaching to help people build resilience and lasting wellbeing. She will explain the science behind how the nervous system works, why modern life keeps us on high alert, and share simple, evidence-based techniques to help train the body and mind to find greater calm.

In a life where we're constantly encouraged to do more, perhaps the greatest luxury now is simply giving ourselves permission to pause.

We look forward to you joining us for an enlightening and restorative evening that will leave you feeling inspired, informed and equipped with practical tools to support your wellbeing long after the event.

Your ticket will include welcome refreshments, an insightful talk with Peigin and Jane chaired by Julia Shaw, a Ground wellness gift to take home plus a surprise Ground Gift Box worth over £40 will be given away to one lucky attendee on the night!
