✨Workshop Alert! ✨
Unlock Your Calm: An Introduction to Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)
SAT MAY 16, 10:30 - 11:30 AM

✨Feeling overwhelmed by a never-ending-to-do-list? Or perhaps there's a nagging sense of anxiety that you just can't shake? It's time to get hands-on with your healing.

Join certified practitioner, Sherri Collen, for an immersive, practical workshop on Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) - often referred to as 'Tapping'. This powerful self-help tool combines ancient acupressure with modern psychology to help you "short-circuit" the body's stress response.

Want to know more about the technique? Read below! Want to skip right to where to reserve, look for the link below the hearts!

What is EFT Tapping?

Think of it as acupuncture without the needles. By gently tapping on specific meridian endpoints on your face and body while focusing on a stressful thought, you send a calming signal directly to the amygdala (the brain's fear center). It's a simple way to tell your nervous system: "You are safe."

What you'll learn:

The Science of Stress: Understand why your brain stays in fight-or-flight mode and how tapping breaks the cycle.

The Basic Recipe: Master the foundational tapping points and the specific phrases used to shift your energy.

Anxiety First Aid: Learn a five-minute routine to lower cortisol and regain focus during a panic moment or a stressful day.

Clearing the Blocks: How to identify the root of a feeling to get more lasting relief.

Who is this for? This workshop is designed for anyone looking for a portable, effective way to manage:

Daily stress and burnout

Social or performance anxiety

Persistent racing thoughts

Physical tension held in the body

Parents who want to help their children deal with stress and anxiety

After learning the basics, we'll transition into a space for individual focus. If you feel called to go deeper, Sherri will be available for optional one-on-one tapping sessions to help kickstart your personal healing process.

The Lesson 🌊
Let your mind rest on the image of the ocean… waves rising, falling, arriving, and dissolving.
Desires are like those waves. They come, they go, sometimes calm, sometimes powerful. They can feel all-consuming in the moment, yet they are always changing.
The practice is not to chase every wave or resist its pull—but to remember that you are the ocean itself, not the waves.
When we begin to release the need to fulfill every desire, we create space for something deeper—steady, grounded inner peace. A peace that isn’t dependent on what comes or goes.
Notice the waves.
Honor them.
And gently return to the stillness beneath it all. 💙

The Meaning Behind Our Name💦

Karen and Tricia met in 2022 and quickly became friends. During our conversations, we realized that we grew up in the same neighborhood in Terryville, CT. In fact, Karen remembers riding her bike and delivering newspapers to Tricia’s front stoop. Because of this connection, we decided to name our business after the historic Eli Terry Waterwheel located in Terryville.
💦
In relationships, a water wheel represents how people can support each other by "pouring" their strengths and efforts into each other, achieving more than they could individually.
💦
Spiritually, a water wheel symbolizes continuous motion, giving and receiving, and the connection to all things. It suggests the importance of trust and allowing oneself to be continually filled like the water that keeps the wheel turning. The wheel fills with water, is moved, and then empties itself, representing the pattern of being filled with grace to overflow and give to others. It depicts inner-power being released to serve others.
