Welcome to Day 1 of The Grounding Force: Breaking the "I'm The Only One" Myth.

Too often, mental wellness tools are framed as soft or clinical. Performance & Peace shifts the narrative. We are reframing alternative healing—such as breathwork, nervous system regulation, and grounding—strictly as high-performance protocols designed for operational longevity and personal resilience.

Join us for an evening of authentic conversation, connection, and an introduction to what the rest of the week holds.

• Meet the Team: Get introduced to our featured speakers, Tim Thomas (Aussie Special Forces veteran, author, and founder of Breathwork in Bed) and Orion Mata (Veteran, First Responder, coach, and author).
• Raw, Unfiltered Stories: Hear Tim and Orion share their personal journeys—from high-stress operational environments to mastering tactical recovery tools.
• Enjoy Music by Guitar 4 Veterans: Listen to music by a nonprofit focused on connecting our heroes to music to heal.
• Break the Isolation: Connect in a low-pressure environment with fellow local veterans, first responders, and spouses who understand the weight you carry.
• The Week Ahead Preview: Discover how the upcoming sessions will help you elevate your well-being, unlock elite potential, and master science-backed tools to shift from survival mode to lasting resilience.

• Tim Thomas | Aussie Special Forces, Author, Founder of Breathwork in Bed

• Service Members, Veterans, First Responders & Families: This event is donation-based. We ask for a donation of any amount—no matter how small—to put a little skin in the game and commit to your personal reset.
