Three ways to practice presence under pressure, in person in Wicker Park and every day in the app. Each one stands on its own, and they're designed to work together.

One practice, three places to build it

In the middle of lifeMoreYou Creativity Retreat

Presence under pressure is built from the ground up. It starts in the body, because it's hard to see yourself clearly while you're braced. From there, it moves inward, to how you meet your own reactions. Then it moves outward, to how you respond when other people and real life don't go your way.

NeuroStability Training is where you practice steady in the body. The Mini-Retreat is where you practice steady within yourself. The Creativity Retreat is where you practice steady in the middle of life. You can begin with whichever question sounds most like yours.

Can I stay sharp without staying on guard?

NeuroStability Training

You can't think your way into feeling steady. It starts in the body. NeuroStability Training uses NeurOptimal® neurofeedback, which gives your brain moment-to-moment information about its own activity while you sit back and listen to music. There's nothing to do and nothing to get right. Many people notice they feel calmer, sleep better, and manage stress with more ease.

For you if staying on guard feels like the only way to hold it all together.

One-on-one at SolFlo in Wicker Park. Your first session is about an hour: a brief conversation, then a full neurofeedback session.

Am I capable of expanded self-awareness?

MoreYou Monthly Mini-Retreat

Most of us meet our own reactions with judgment, and judgment makes us look away. The Mini-Retreat is a monthly evening to practice something different: noticing what's happening in you without running from it or gripping it, alongside a small group doing the same.

For you if you've spent a lot of time thinking about yourself and want to actually see yourself.

Second Tuesday of every month, 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., at SolFlo. Up to 12 people.

Am I forcing or flowing?

MoreYou Creativity Retreat

Pressure doesn't only show up at work. The Creativity Retreat gives you an unfamiliar art medium, unhurried time, and no expectations, so you can notice what you do when things don't go your way: grip harder, or get curious. There's no instruction, no critique, and nothing to finish.

For you if you're used to being good at things and curious what happens when you're not.

Monthly, in person. Dates on the booking page.
