Join Sepideh Eivazi, wellness visionary, mental health advocate, and founder of Dawn of the Earth, for a transformative somatic breathwork session designed to release burnout, restore energy, and regain mental clarity. With over 15 years of experience in the hospitality industry as a former hotelier and current event planner, Sepideh deeply understands the unique challenges faced by those in this fast-paced field. Her personal insight into the demands of hospitality and event planning has shaped her approach to creating restorative spaces for individuals to reconnect, recharge, and find balance.
As the member of the Breathe Initiative at the Global Wellness Institute, Sepideh integrates her expertise in mental health advocacy and somatic breathwork to guide you through an experience that helps calm your nervous system, ease stress, and boost emotional resilience through deep breathing techniques with mindfulness practices, activating your parasympathetic nervous system to release tension and create lasting peace.

Whether you’re struggling with mental fatigue, stress, or the overwhelming demands of the hospitality industry, this session offers a healing space to restore focus and clarity. It’s the perfect complement to the mental health theme of the panel discussion, providing you with powerful tools to manage stress and reclaim your energy in the face of daily challenges.

Come as you are, and leave empowered with a clearer mindset, focused energy, and a greater sense of balance.
