Why Attend “Stress and Burnout Summit 2025”

Modern life asks a lot of us. We move at high speed, process endless inputs, and try to care well for others while meeting our own goals. Without reliable ways to regulate our nervous systems and replenish our energy, stress compounds—showing up as brain fog, irritability, poor sleep, strained relationships, and that low-grade exhaustion that never quite lifts. You may have tried to push through or “think harder,” only to find willpower isn’t enough when your body is stuck in survival mode.

This summit helps you shift from white-knuckle coping to skillful self-regulation. Across short, focused interviews and live practices, you’ll learn how to calm your physiology, update unhelpful patterns, and create sustainable habits that protect your mental health. Expect science-backed tools for managing stress and preventing burnout, with guidance on breathwork, mindfulness, HRV practices, emotional brain training, and more. You’ll also hear from experts on trauma-awareness, compassionate self-talk, and hope-building—so you’re not just informed, but equipped.

You’ll gain clarity on what’s happening in your body under stress, why certain symptoms persist, and how to interrupt the spiral early. You’ll explore practical strategies to downshift in the moment, complete the stress cycle, and return to baseline more quickly—so your focus, creativity, and connection come back online. For many, this means fewer nightly wakeups, steadier moods, and a kinder inner voice. It also makes hard days more navigable: when challenges arise, you’ll have a playbook for responding rather than reacting.

Another reason to attend is the community. Change is easier when you feel seen and supported. You’ll join thousands of people committed to living with greater mental wellbeing—people practicing the same techniques, sharing what’s working, and encouraging one another toward realistic progress. You’ll also have access to a Wellness Studio experience with guided sessions to bookend your day, so regulation becomes a rhythm you can actually maintain.

Finally, this event meets you with both compassion and action. You’ll hear clear, credible explanations from psychologists, physicians, coaches, and seasoned practitioners—and you’ll get step-by-step ideas to try immediately. If you’ve been searching for a grounded, nonjudgmental way to reduce stress, prevent burnout, and feel more like yourself, this is for you. Come learn how to create a steady, resilient nervous system; how to relate to your thoughts and emotions with more skill; and how to build a mental fitness foundation that supports everything else you care about.

About Your Speakers

This year’s faculty features clinicians, researchers, coaches, and practitioners who have spent years translating the science of stress into everyday tools. You’ll learn from voices across psychology, neuroscience, integrative medicine, nutrition, somatics, and contemplative practice—each offering a unique doorway into regulation, recovery, and resilience.

On the physiology side, you’ll hear from leaders who make complex concepts practical. Experts like Dr. Deborah Rozman bring HRV and heart-coherence into real life, while Dr. Nishi Bhopal illuminates sleep as a pillar of recovery. Herbalist David Winston shares how adaptogens support capacity under load, and Dr. Delia McCabe explains how nutritional neuroscience protects the brain from wear and tear.

For emotional and cognitive skills, sessions with Dr. Laurel Mellin, Paul Gilbert, and Kathryn Goetzke reveal how to rewire stress circuits, cultivate compassion in the face of threat, and deliberately build hope. You’ll also learn how to relate to thoughts with more flexibility—with guidance from teachers of Emotional Brain Training, polyvagal-informed practices, and compassionate self-talk.

Somatic and practice-based sessions make calm experiential. Breathwork teachers such as Ed Harrold and Michael Stone demonstrate how to downshift quickly and restore focus. Rachel Richards and Deanna Hansen help you release tension through self-massage and fascia-aware movement. Julie Schiffman and Brad Yates guide EFT/tapping sequences to transform stress patterns in minutes.

Connection is medicine, too. Matthew Lederman explores co-regulation and healing through relationship. Neil Shah highlights unconditional positive regard as a stabilizing force. And trauma-aware practitioners like Jan Winhall offer frameworks to work safely with the body’s protective responses. Throughout, host Damian Geleyns ties everything together with Whole Self Intelligence and the Keystone Process—practical ways to see clearly, act wisely, and turn stress into strength.

These sessions complement one another: physiology supports mindset; mindset sustains behavior change; connection deepens regulation. The result is a curriculum you can personalize. You’ll leave with a toolkit that fits your life—breath patterns, thought practices, movement resets, sleep upgrades, nutritional supports, and compassionate scripts you can reach for anytime.

How to Prepare

A little preparation makes the week smoother and more restorative. First, set your intention. Ask yourself: “What would feeling less stressed make possible right now?” Keep your answer simple—perhaps better sleep, clearer thinking, kinder self-talk, or more patience at home or work. Write it down and revisit it each morning to orient your attention toward what matters.

Next, create a calm-supportive environment. Choose a comfortable place to watch, keep water nearby, and consider a notebook to track what resonates. For the Midday Reset practices and Wellness Studio sessions, have a chair or mat ready. If movement is included, adjust to your body’s needs. If tapping or self-massage is demonstrated, follow along gently. The goal is not intensity; it’s consistency and safety.

Block small windows on your calendar: fifteen to twenty minutes for Midday Reset and a short closing ritual in the evening—perhaps three minutes of breath, a short reflection, or a quiet stretch. If you share space with others, let them know you’re attending a mental wellbeing event this week so they can support your focus. Consider inviting a friend to join you; practicing together makes follow-through easier and more enjoyable.

Finally, pick one “micro-practice” you’ll use daily, like a down-regulating breath pattern, a 60-second body scan, or a compassionate reframe. Pair it with a cue you already do—like brewing coffee or closing your laptop—to make it stick. During the summit, notice what works for you and be kind to yourself as you experiment. Preparation isn’t about perfection—it’s about setting gentle conditions for change so you can absorb the material and feel the difference.
