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

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

Our emotions are powerful guides—but without healthy boundaries, they can easily be drained by stress, relationships, or constant demands. This interactive session explores how saying “yes” and “no” with intention, recognizing your limits, and honoring your emotional needs can strengthen resilience and reduce overwhelm. Participants will learn strategies to manage emotional energy, practice self-compassion, and foster healthier connections with themselves and with others. Join us to discover how balanced boundaries can be the key to protecting your peace and nurturing lasting Emotional Wellness.
