The Nervous System Reset: The Science of Finding Calm

6pm, Wednesday 16th September 2026

In a world of constant notifications, busy schedules and endless information, the ability to feel calm, present, and deeply relaxed has become one of life's greatest luxuries. At the heart of this lies the nervous system, influencing everything from our mood, energy and sleep to how we recover, connect and navigate everyday life.

While our brains evolved to respond to occasional threats, modern life often keeps us in a constant state of low-level stress. Overflowing inboxes, social media, poor sleep and the pressure to always be available can leave us feeling permanently "switched on" without even realising it. Join us at Herb House for an inspiring evening exploring the science of the nervous system and discover practical ways to cultivate greater calm, resilience and balance in everyday life.

We're delighted to welcome back Peigin Crowley, founder of Ground Wellbeing, who will share her philosophy of creating rituals rather than treatments and explore how touch, botanicals and scent can help support nervous system regulation.

Joining Peigin is Jane Newall, founder of Infinite8 Life and Professional Health Coach, who will explain why modern life keeps us on high alert and share simple, evidence-based techniques to build resilience, restore balance and support lasting wellbeing.

Opening the evening, our resident breathwork facilitator Tracey Howes will lead a short seated practice. Together with Peigin and Jane, they will demonstrate how science, movement, therapeutic touch, and the restorative power of nature can work in harmony to help your body and mind return to a place of calm. You'll leave feeling inspired, informed and equipped with practical tools to support your wellbeing long after the event.

In a life where we're constantly encouraged to do more, perhaps the greatest luxury is giving ourselves permission to pause. Your nervous system is central to your wellbeing. This is your opportunity to understand it, nurture it and begin unlocking its extraordinary potential.

Your ticket will include welcome refreshments, an insightful talk with Peigin and Jane chaired by Julia Shaw, a Ground wellness gift to take home plus a surprise Ground Gift Box worth over £40 will be given away to one lucky attendee on the night!
