Understanding the science of hormones, sleep, metabolism, and strength, and practical ways to restore vitality after 40. 

Many women notice that something shifts in midlife. Sleep becomes lighter, energy fluctuates, stress feels harder to manage, and the habits that once worked no longer seem to deliver the same results. These changes are not imagined — they are part of a natural biological transition that affects hormones, metabolism, and the nervous system.

In this engaging and informative workshop, physician and integrative health expert Dr. Sonal Bhatia explains what is really happening in the body during midlife and why these changes can feel so sudden.

Blending modern medical science with practical lifestyle strategies and insights from Ayurveda, this session will explore how women can support their bodies through this transition and restore energy, balance, and resilience.

Participants will learn:

• Why sleep, mood, and metabolism often change in midlife
• How hormonal shifts influence energy, stress, and body composition
• The role of nutrition, strength, and daily rhythms in supporting long-term health
• Simple practices that can help improve sleep, restore energy, and build resilience

This workshop is designed for women in perimenopause, menopause, and post-menopause who want to better understand their changing bodies and take practical steps toward feeling stronger and more energized in the years ahead.

Breathwork Healing: How to Free Your Mind,  Tuesday, March 24, 6:45-7:45 pm 

Breathwork is an active meditation technique with a two-part inhale and single exhale done consistently for 30 minutes, followed by relaxation and a return to normal breathing.  The technique brings us into a deeper state of consciousness and clears "stuck energy" quite rapidly and safely. Results often include more mental clarity and less anxiety; an easier time connecting with family and friends; the experience of more joy, peace, and spiritual connection; and a boost of intuition and creativity.

Across cultures and throughout history, people have turned to plants for healing, regulation, and connection. In this hands-on, interactive session, participants will explore the foundations of plant care alongside the therapeutic benefits of engaging with nature. Together, we’ll discuss how plants can support cognitive function, mood/regulation, and overall well-being, while introducing simple plant therapy practices that encourage mindfulness and personal growth.

This workshop will teach practical care techniques through direct experience, passing around a variety of indoor plants, and troubleshooting common challenges such as root rot, yellowing leaves, overwatering, and pruning. Each participant will select, water, and label a plant to take home, building confidence in nurturing living things beyond the workshop.

Towards the end of the session, we’ll have a guided reflective activity, “The Nervous System Tree,” a mindful drawing practice that invites participants to explore questions of grounding, growth, and self-care through creative expression. Participants will leave with their own plant, practical skills, and a deeper sense of horticulture therapy and how our connection to the natural world can enhance our connection to ourselves and one another. No prior plant or art experience is required.

A calm, welcoming space to learn, connect, and grow, with plants and with each other.

Whether you are a family member or a professional caregiver, the role involves a constant state of alert and readiness. Caregivers exist in a state of sensory and emotional alert. This ongoing state of nervous system activation to assist with another’s needs depletes us of our own energetic reserves. The necessary replenishment of energy through rest and restoration is often bypassed, and over time, the level of output far exceeds the level of input. Commonly known as burnout, there are ways to manage our fatigue and to help ourselves self-regulate to optimally fulfill the role. In this class, we will discuss and practice techniques to replenish energy, support the nervous system, and build resilience in the caregiving role.
