This workshop is part of the Emotional Fitness Studio in Annapolis, a year-round wellness initiative offering FREE monthly in-person workshops and experiences.*PLEASE READ: Tickets for this event are free as part of our mission to support wellness in our community. However, spots are limited, so we kindly ask that you PLEASE only register if you plan to attend. This ensures we can reserve spaces for those who are eager to participate. Your understanding helps us make the most of this initiative—thank you! In this Event:Most of us are not stressed because of our to-do lists. We are stressed because of the invisible emotional work we do every day. The worrying, the caretaking, and holding everything together for others can weigh heavily on us without anyone noticing.In this hands-on workshop, you will explore the emotional load you carry and how it shows up in your body, thoughts, and daily life. Through gentle grounding exercises, creative mapping, small group connection, and a guided release practice, you will have a chance to see what you have been holding and practice letting go of what is not yours to carry alone.This workshop is not about fixing things or forcing change. It is about awareness, self-compassion, and relief you can feel in your body. You will leave with more clarity, a sense of lightness, and a simple ritual you can use anytime the weight feels heavy again.About the instructor: Kristin Whiting-Davis, LCSW-C is a licensed clinical social worker with more than twenty-five years of experience in child welfare, schools, community programs, and healthcare. Over the years, she has supported people through crisis, loss, and major life changes, and I’ve seen how much unseen emotional work caregivers do every day. Her current focus is helping caregivers of all kinds (healthcare workers, therapists, parents, partners, and adult children, etc.) who carry a heavy internal load. She uses mindfulness, somatic awareness, and trauma-informed approaches to help people find steadiness, ease overwhelm, and build resilience that lasts. The Organizer:These wellness events are brought to you by Maria Winters, licensed mental health therapist and creator of the Emotional Fitness Studio in Annapolis, an initiative built on the belief that everyone deserves access to tools that can help us feel and live better.
