Rise & Root: A space to clear the noise and begin with intention

Intellectual / Emotional / Occupational / Physical / Spiritual / Social
10:30am-10:50am EST

Rise and Root is a gentle and intentional way to start each day of the symposium. In this short morning session, participants will pause to ground themselves through guided journaling and meditation, reflecting on thought-provoking questions connected to the day’s wellness theme. By taking time to quiet the mind, set intentions, and explore personal insights, participants create space to “root” in self-awareness and “rise” with clarity and focus. This mindful start prepares and energizes participants to more fully engage in the day’s deeper exploration during the Balance Blueprint session that follows.

Balance Blueprint: Building Better Boundaries

Physical Dimension
11:00AM -11:50AM EST

We look at the body as both a tool and a barometer to help us navigate on the path to better health and wellness. This makes it both easy and hard to implement boundaries for lasting health. In this session, we’ll explore how boundaries around rest, movement, nutrition, and screen time can protect your physical well-being. Through interactive discussion and practical tips, you’ll learn how to tune in to your body’s signals, prevent overexertion, strategize moves for increasing physical health markers, and create routines that balance energy with recovery. Walk away with strategies to set realistic goals, build healthier habits, and respect your body’s needs—so you can feel stronger, more energized, and better equipped to thrive every day.
