An Urban Mind Body Soul Experience
______________
NEXT EVENT COMING SOON
Chicago, IL
Come Home to Yourself
A 4-hour immersive retreat to reconnect your body, breath, and spirit through movement, breathwork, and nourishment.
The Heart of GROUNDED
In a world that constantly demands performance, GROUNDED offers you a sacred pause—a chance to come home to your body, your breath, and your truth.
This isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity.
Through movement, stillness, breath, and nourishment, we create space for your nervous system to exhale and your soul to soften. You’ll reconnect with yourself in ways that feel real, sustainable, and deeply supportive.
This is not about checking out.
It’s about checking in—and remembering what it feels like to live rooted, aligned, and free.
What to Expect
Led by Three Men Rooted in Practice
This experience is guided by three men deeply grounded in embodied leadership, somatic wisdom, and healing through presence. While GROUNDED centers male facilitation, it welcomes all genders seeking to reconnect, release, and remember.
This isn't a performance.
It's a return.
You’ll be guided through a 4-hour journey that unfolds in three phases:
1. Arrival & Grounding
Gentle movement to reconnect with your body
Breath-led presence practice
Opening circle to set collective intention
2. Embodied Exploration
Somatic breathwork + restorative mobility
Guided stillness and emotional release
Interactive wellness session with Marquese:
“What you eat is energy. How you eat is a ritual.”
Explore food as medicine, soul-care, and grounding through nutrition
3. Integration & Community
Reflection and journaling
Plant-based nourishment
Closing circle to seal the experience and foster connection
💫 You’ll Leave With:
A calmer, more regulated nervous system
Grounding practices you can use daily
A new relationship with breath, food, and stillness
Practical tools to help you reconnect when life gets noisy
A sense of being seen, supported, and reset
Ready to Feel Grounded?
You’ve been doing everything for everyone—
but when was the last time you felt grounded?
This isn’t just a break.
It’s a reset for your body, mind, and nervous system.
Through breathwork, movement, and soul-nourishing conversation,
you’ll leave with tools to stay calm, clear, and connected
even when life doesn’t slow down.
Meet Your Guides
Practiced men holding space for
deep healing
Led by Eric – Grounding Through the Body
“Your posture is your presence. The way you stand, sit, and move speaks before you do.”
This isn’t just about stretching. This is about awakening what’s been asleep. It’s about unlocking tightness caused by stress, overworking, and poor posture—then replacing it with fluidity, freedom, and grounded strength.
In this 45-minute movement session, you’ll:
Discover how stress lives in your body
Learn breath-integrated mobility techniques
Gently activate your core and stabilizers
Improve posture and alignment
Wake up dormant muscles and energy channels
Create space in your joints and nervous system
The Goal: Prepare the body to feel more open, rooted, and receptive for what’s to come. Think of this session as your physical and energetic “warm-up” for the soul.
“You can't get grounded if your body’s fighting gravity. This brings you back to Earth—with power, with peace.” – Eric
Led by Ade – A Journey Through the Breath
“The breath is the bridge between your body and your soul.”
This session invites you into a deeper relationship with your inner self through conscious, somatic breathwork.
The breath will be your tool, your medicine, and your guide.
In this 45-minute breathwork journey, you’ll:
Release stuck energy and emotions
Reset your nervous system and clear mental fog
Cultivate presence through slow, conscious breathing
Experience somatic cues for inner safety and self-regulation
Practice integration, grounding, and energetic alignment.
What makes this different?
It’s not about performance—it’s about permission. Permission to feel, to let go, and to simply be.
“The breath is your birthright. It's always been there, waiting to bring you back home.” – Ade
Please note: This is a safe, trauma-informed space. All emotions and experiences are welcome.
Led by Marquese – Nourishing from the Inside Out
“What you eat is energy. How you eat is a ritual.”
Nutrition isn’t just about macros or meal plans. It’s a sacred conversation between your body and the Earth. In this interactive wellness talk, we break it down in a way that’s real, relevant, and soul-nourishing.
This isn’t a lecture—it’s a conversation. Bring your questions, your challenges, and your curiosity.
“If you feed your stress, it grows. If you feed your soul, you thrive.” – Marquese
What We'll Explore:
Food as medicine – how what you eat impacts mood, focus, and vitality
Holistic rituals for energy, clarity, and immune support
Simple, sustainable habits for busy lives
Daily nourishment practices that ground you
How to integrate nutrition with movement and breath
You’ll Leave With:
Nourishment rituals you can start right away
A deeper understanding of food as healing
Practical tools to fuel your mind, body, and spirit
This Is For You If…
You’ve been holding it all together—but you’re soul-tired.
You give to everyone else and haven’t been poured into in a long time.
Your body’s been whispering through tension, tightness, or disconnection.
You’ve outgrown surface-level self-care and want something deeper.
You’ve been doing “the work,” but your nervous system is still fried.
You’re ready to exhale, breathe deeper, and return to your center.
You’ll Leave With
Clarity about the project or purpose that wants to move through you
Simple frameworks for organizing your ideas and building momentum
Tools for staying grounded and navigating resistance
A renewed relationship with self, space, and land
Community: real people who want to do real things
