Join us for an intimate evening of conversation, reflection, and connection at Williamsburg Salt Spa.

Led by Brandi Zenzel and featuring special guest speaker Stephanie Heinatz, owner of Consociate Media, this Retail Therapy gathering invites participants to explore the ways our bodies communicate with us when stress, pressure, and overwhelm become too much.

We all know rest matters. We know self-care is important. Yet many of us continue pushing through exhaustion, stress, and overwhelm long after our minds and bodies have started asking us to slow down.

For some people, those signals are subtle. For others, they are impossible to ignore.

Retail Therapy | The Body Keeps the Score is an honest and supportive conversation about learning to recognize the signals our bodies give us when stress becomes too much and discovering the wisdom that can come from listening. Through personal stories, thoughtful discussion, and meaningful reflection, we'll explore how rest is not something we have to earn, but something we need in order to thrive.

Stephanie will share her personal journey and the lessons she's learned through living with lupus, including how listening to her body's signals has become an essential part of maintaining balance and well-being. Following her story, Brandi will guide a thought-provoking group discussion that encourages attendees to reflect on their own experiences with stress, self-care, and healthy boundaries.

This gathering offers a welcoming space to reflect on the pressures we place on ourselves, the messages our bodies send us, and the practices that help us create healthier, more sustainable lives.

Why Attend?

  • Learn to recognize physical and emotional signs of overwhelm
  • Gain a new perspective on rest as a necessity rather than a reward
