Our Holiday Decompression Space is a time for gentle reflection and care.
Come regulate your nervous system and de-stress with prayer, mindfulness, and support as we approach the New Year.
Yesterday was January 2020 and somehow it’s almost January 2026.
When did we get here? How did we get here?
Social media gurus will guilt trip us into setting unrealistic New Year resolutions and then we’re still recovering from all the stress of the holiday season. It’s a lot.
So if you find yourself feeling confused, hopeless, and burnt out going into 2026, don’t worry sis—so do we.
Come to a space where you can take your mask off, breathe, and process all the tension, thoughts, and feelings around this time. We’ll pray, practice mindfulness, journal, and all the things together. You’ll get a take-home guide on how to keep managing stress, too.
