Stress isn't always bad, in small doses it keeps us focused and motivated to act. But too much of it can be very negative indeed, and the challenge is keeping regulated, self-aware and within the right zone for our own optimum performance and wellbeing. Dr. Sam Akbar will walk us through the principles and key science behind her stress-busting book Stressilience, and share the most relevant and practical exercises within it. We'll be digging into the neuroscience behind stress, pull the perspectives of those along into the conversation — and work through some important and immediately relevant exercises together.

At the Growers Notion page you'll find details of all coming Growers gatherings (virtually and in-person), write-ups of what's recent, info on fellow Growers, an archive of our monthly newsletters and much more to boot. And it's at Notion where we share the challenges and questions more fertile in the community right now.
