Return to Self: Medicine for Modern Disconnection

You don’t need more discipline; you need a way back to yourself that feels good, safe, and nourishing.

 

You’ve probably tried meditation before and maybe it felt impossible to sit still. 

Or maybe your mind only got louder or you felt bored, anxious & disconnected... and blamed yourself or the practice all together. 

I hear you. It's frustrating to hear everyone raving about something that apparently works, but it just hasn't worked for you. 

That's why I created Return to Self: a meditation workshop for people who’ve struggled with silence, consistency, or knowing where to begin and are ready to reconnect in a way that actually feels good.

In this 90min, interactive experience, you will learn realistic ways and evidence-based tools that honor your nervous system, your personal rhythm, and your soul so that you can also experience the peace of mind that meditators rave about.

In this online workshop, you’ll discover a new way to relate to meditation. Not as something you have to do, but something you actually want to come back to!

We’ll replace performance with presence.
Routine with ritual.
Silence with safety.

You’ll leave with tools to feel centered, connected, and empowered, even if you’ve struggled with meditation in the past!

Inside the Workshop: The Return to Self Framework

This isn't styled as a class or lecture but as a ceremonial experience. Every part of this workshop is designed to meet you where you are and guide you back to your center with compassion and step by step guidance. 

Here’s what we’ll explore together:

Hi, I'm Jovanny! 

Today I'm a healing & empowerment coach who's on a mission to empower 1 Million Highly Sensitive People. I believe that healed people heal people—and healed people will save the world.

What many don't know is that I'm also someone who lived with debilitating, chronic anxiety for nearly 20 years. Which is why I used to think meditation wasn’t for people like me. My mind never stopped. Crowds terrified me. Even when I was alone, I felt like I was being watched.

I was a high-functioning overachiever on the outside, but overwhelmed on the inside' stuck in constant loops of overthinking, self-judgment, and shame for not “being able to calm down” and just enjoy life like so many of my peers around me.

It was during a trip to Mumbai in 2018 that a dear friend of mine invited me to meditate for the first time ever.
And something happened I’ll never forget: My mind went quiet.
For the first time—in decades—I felt stillness in my mind. 

I didn't know then, but that moment would alter the course of my life. The experience was so profound, that I then committed to a daily practice to figure out exactly what in the world had just happened. Not because I was trying to fix myself, but because I was finally able to be with myself.

Weeks later, I saw in real-time how meditation was helping me ease my social anxiety, regulate my nervous system, and reconnect with deep confidence I knew was inside me but I had previously struggled to tap into. 

Today, I don’t only meditate when life gets chaotic and I need some calm (which saves so much time from otherwise ruminating about the problems that come up). But I also use it as an anchor for my energy, and a ritual from where to create more clarity in my life and even where I channel new ideas!

It’s the portal through which I access my deepest clarity, including the vision for this very workshop.

If you’ve ever felt like meditation was too boring, too hard, too quiet, or just not for you—I get it. I was you.

And if it worked for me, someone who used to be so skeptical about it, it can work for you. But here's the thing: It's got to be in a way that actually honors your unique rhythm, body, and soul.
