The goal of our events is to share meaningful ideas and practices with generosity and to create a space in which humans can connect deeply with each other and themselves. We select our teachers, speakers and practitioners for their potency and integrity. We invite only those who we believe do their work deeply and primarily from a place of love.

NUSHU Group
Being a creative can be an isolating experience at times, and with isolation comes feelings of loneliness, imposter syndrome, stuckness, or not being “good enough.”
If you’re looking for a supportive group of like-minded peers, join us on Wednesday, June 14, for NUSHU Group for Creatives. This will be a space to connect with fellow creators, share what’s on your mind, and be witnessed with love, compassion, and non-judgment.
This virtual event will be held on Zoom, in meeting format, and led by Certified NUSHU Group Facilitator Harper Edgcumbe.

NUSHU Group for Caregivers
Life is a continuous journey of growth and change. From shifting careers to moving to a new city, transitions are inevitable and often challenging.
Facing periods of uncertainty can be overwhelming, even with changes that are welcome and intentional. Regardless of the type of transition or circumstances, it can be really helpful to know you’re not alone.
In this NUSHU Group, we’ll offer you the space to reflect so you can embrace change, find your path, and gain the clairty and support you need to move forward with more confidence and ease.

NUSHU Group for Times of Transition
Many of us struggle with the tendency to please others at the cost of our own well-being. While people-pleasing may seem like a positive trait, constantly prioritizing others' needs and opinions over your own can cause a loss of personal identity and self-worth.
There comes a time when setting healthy boundaries (like a simple ‘no, thank you’) is a much-needed and healthier choice.
In this NUSHU Group, we’ll offer you the space to explore your patterns, understand your motivations, and practice self-compassion so you can break free from the cycle of people-pleasing and cultivate a life that aligns with your true self.
This virtual event will be held on Zoom, in meeting format, and led by Certified NUSHU Group Facilitator Harper Edgcumbe.

NUSHU Group Series: Holding Space for Your Teenager
We’re inherently wired to feel good when we’re successful, and why shouldn’t we be? The pursuit of excellence can bring tremendous personal growth and success, but what happens when you’re afraid of anything falling short of perfection? What if you dread the thought of mediocrity?
Being an overachiever comes with its fair share of highs and lows, and it’s important to strike a balance between ambition and well-being.
When the lines between enough and too much become blurred, the cycle can be vicious.
In this NUSHU Group, we’ll explore the themes of perfection and imperfection and discover ways in which we can achieve a more balanced approach to reaching our goals.
This virtual event will be held on Zoom, in meeting format, and led by Certified NUSHU Group Facilitator Harper Edgcumbe.

Special Events
Author, podcast host, and teacher Elena Brower has known for longer than most that a great softening is afoot. In her new book, Softening Time, Elena’s poetry touches poignantly on themes of love, loss, healing and rebirth.
We invite you to sit down with Elena and Vanessa Cornell for a free community event in support of Softening Time’s debut. With a mix of teaching, journal prompts, sharing, and Q&A, Elena and Vanessa will discuss what it means to soften and how we can slow down, connect with the deeper rhythms of life, and return home to ourselves.
“At every age since love was a possibility, there have been thoughts unspoken, mysteries revealed only in solitary silence, empty moments becoming holy within me. These are the times to practice softening. This book is a journey of forgetting and remembering that.” – Elena Brower
If you are new to NUSHU, welcome! We want you to know that we invite only those speakers who have the most potent insight and the highest personal integrity. It's a privilege to work with so many incredible healers, teachers, and practitioners, and we are thrilled to have you with us as we explore their wisdom.
