About This Event
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.

- Enjoy Music by Guitar 4 Veterans: Listen to music by a nonprofit focused on connecting our heroes to music to heal.
