Cooling the Kettle Exploring Tools for Calming the Nervous System

Cooling the KettleExploring Emotional Triggers & Tools for Calming the Nervous System

When life heats up, how do you cool down?

In this final session of the Brew and Bloom series, we’ll explore what sets off your stress response — and how to gently bring yourself back to center. Learn how emotional triggers show up in the body and how to respond with intention instead of reactivity.

We’ll share science-backed tools for calming the nervous system, like grounding exercises, breathwork, and mindful reframing. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just overstimulated, this session offers simple practices to support emotional regulation in real life.

Come sip, share, and end the series with calm and clarity.

• A welcoming, no-pressure vibe
• A brief guided activity and creative journaling
