Did you know that psychosocial stress is a leading risk factor for heart attacks worldwide? Rest is a vital tool for managing stress and protecting your health. In this workshop, you’ll explore the science of rest—both while asleep and while awake—and discover how quality sleep can help restore balance, reduce stress, and lower your risk for chronic disease. Learn practical strategies to improve your sleep habits and harness the power of rest as a cornerstone of a healthier lifestyle.

Psychosocial stress is a major contributor to heart disease, accounting for nearly a third of the risk for heart attacks worldwide. In this engaging workshop, you’ll explore the science behind rest as a powerful tool to manage and reduce stress. Learn about the two essential forms of rest—resting while asleep and resting while awake—and how both can profoundly impact your ability to cope with stress, restore balance, and lower your risk for chronic disease. Special focus for this workshop will be on meditation, with practical guidance on how to incorporate these evidence-based strategies into your daily life.
