Workshop Overview

Life-altering events disrupt not only the body but our sense of safety, identity, and meaning.

This series invites participants to explore recovery as both a physiological and spiritual process—how belief, awareness, and surrender influence health and well-being.

Dr. Rita Gupta brings two decades of integrative and neuroplastic-medicine expertise.

Ellen Alden offers the lived wisdom of Long COVID recovery, grounded in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, breath coaching, and Pain Reprocessing Therapy certification.

Together, they weave mindfulness, mind-body education, and compassionate care discussion into a practical approach for rebuilding trust in the body and rediscovering purpose.

What You’ll Learn

How an overprotective nervous system becomes sensitized and stuck in fight or flight, and how to calm it.
How to manage fear and tolerate uncertainty without going into shutdown or overwhelm.
How identity and meaning become transformed.
How belief and perception directly influence healing.
How to surrender and be in loving presence.
How to design a personal plan/daily practice that sustains wholeness and wellbeing.
