Calm with Stephanie DeBou

In this session you'll practice and experience the benefits of mind-body connection through guided breathwork, energy medicine and meditation. We'll start by focusing the mind on the breath, with gentle belly breathing, encouraging relaxation in the body, a slowing of the mind, and a subsiding of waves of emotions.

Once we have connected to full body breathing, we will energize the body through breath and gentle energy medicine techniques, to keep us alert and focused for the meditation that follows. We'll finish with a guided meditation known as Yoga Nidra, or Yogic Sleep, drop into those sweet Theta waves and rock the body and mind into deep, unifying, and tranquil rest.

​TRE® is a somatic practice that helps release tension from our body and helps regulate our nervous system, bringing us out of states of activation and dissociation. As a regular practice, we become less reactive and increase our capacity to be present and feel safe in our body.

​As a technique it is a set of 6 exercises that release tension by evoking a self-controlled muscular shaking process in the body called neurogenic muscle tremors. This shaking originates deep in the core of the body in the psoas muscles and the tremors reverberate along the spine releasing tension from the sacrum to the cranium.

​In this online workshop, Thu Nguyen, a certified TRE® Provider and Somatic Coach will gently introduce both the theory and practice of neurogenic tremoring. You will learn more about TRE, stress, trauma, the psoas muscles and polyvagal theory. Then we will do the exercises and experience the tremoring mechanism and practice self regulation. You will have a chance to ask any questions to begin your process of creating a regular practice

The polycrises and uncertainties of our world continue to take their toll on us and our communities.

For values-driven entrepreneurs, the impact of these realities can make us feel overwhelmed, and out of sync with our intuition.

Yet, your body holds wisdom on what you might need to move forward with clarity and confidence in this moment.

That is where this workshop comes in.

“What is Your Body Telling You?” is a 2-hour workshop facilitated by Shilbee Dhalla-Kim (Passion Coach) and Thu Nguyen (Somatic Leadership Coach). In this workshop, you will learn how to reconnect with your inner wisdom by listening to your body signals.

What you will learn:

Somatic Practice: Practice Medical Qi Gong techniques so that you can take an embodied approach (mind-body-spirit) to tune into your wisdom and power

Passion-Based Tool: Practice listening, mirroring, and identifying the "heat" of what currently matters to you


What you may experience:

Resetting your body’s nervous system

Clarifying what you need and want in order to inspire intentional action

(Re)connect with your sense of purpose and direction

Ultimately, you will leave the workshop restoring trust in yourself.

Who will facilitate this workshop:
Shilbee Dhalla-Kim (she/her) is a passion coach who supports changemakers in clarifying their passions to better realize their current purpose. In addition to her coaching practice, she is a facilitator with Neolé Inc. and an instructor at McMaster University.

From cultivating passions to designing visioning sessions, facilitating strategic planning workshops, developing business plans, and managing social enterprise expansion, Shilbee has first-hand experience guiding purpose-driven organizations.

She uses anti-oppressive, intersectional approaches to help individuals and organizations understand their power, agency, and privileges within the context of structural, interpersonal, ideological, and internalized barriers.

She has previously served as the social enterprise manager at the Native Women’s Resource Centre of Toronto, the manager at the Centre for Social Innovation in Regent Park, and the workstream manager of Entrepreneurship Policy at what was formerly known as the Brookfield Institute for Innovation + Entrepreneurship.

Thu Nguyen is a somatic leadership coach who helps individuals reconnect with their true selves—rediscovering their voice, values, and purpose—so they can pursue their vision while remaining authentic with inner alignment of mind, body, heart, and spirit. Thu blends powerful somatic and nervous system regulation practices (TRE, Medical Qi Gong, Meditation) and leadership coaching (PCC, CPCC CRTC). She supports clients in overcoming burnout, stress, and trauma while unlocking their capacity to embody the change they wish to see in the world.

As a BetterUp Fellow Coach, Thu has supported hundreds of founders, leaders, and executives across industries (Tech, Finance, Aerospace, Energy, Education, Social Change) in creating sustainable success by addressing both personal and professional challenges.

Thu’s own transformative journey has been shaped by both her professional challenges and personal struggles. With 20 years of experience in the tech industry and 3 tech startups of her own, she is familiar with the high pressures of working in VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) environments as well as the deep grief, emotional and relational fallout of startup failures. After facing her own health crises—cancer, chronic illness, and burnouts—Thu made a shift from the tech world into coaching and facilitating where she now helps others transform adversity into opportunity, and loss into purpose.

As the founder of Nusqool, Thu creates spaces for people currently experiencing collapse to pause, learn how to listen to their body signals and feel safe enough to embody their authentic selves, transform their lives, and make a positive impact.

Join Stephanie DeBou and Thu Nguyen on 2/22 for a special morning virtual embodiment workshop so help you create winter self-care practices drawing from the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), Qi Gong, Yoga, and Meditation.

In TCM, the season of winter is associated with the element of water and works with the organs of the kidneys and bladder. In this two hour workshop, through movement (Yoga + Qi Gong), meditation, energy medicine and rest, we will learn how to work with the meridian (energy) lines of the kidneys and bladder so that you can shift from bracing against winter to embracing the invitations of winter.

The water element in our bodies is said to hold our deepest desires and unexpressed emotions, and carries with it a potent charge for transformation in our lives. Balancing the element of water in the body helps us to move from a frozen, fearful state, to a more fluid, calm, place of courage. When water is flowing freely, it knows no obstacles, no barriers. When it meets resistance, it simply carves a new path.

What to expect:

1. You will tap, trace, massage, stretch, move, meditate as you open and energize your channels for the flow of water in your body, bladder and kidney meridians, the organs associated with winter.

2. You will learn where these energy channels are located in the body and how to move stagnant energy into more flow. You will discover postures and breath that optimize the flow of these meridians and associated organs.

3. You will explore your relationship with the season of winter and invited to try on new perspectives.

4. You will be introduced to the emotional spectrum associated with the season of winter which can span Fear and Courage and how physical movements could support the movements and shifts in emotions like dissolving fear.

5. You will add to your winter self-care toolkit you can use for the rest of the season.

Come dressed comfortably ready for movement and stillness. A yoga mat and space to move, sit and/or lie down is helpful, as are layers. Have a journal and pen ready for journaling and capturing any mind blowing insights! :)

About Thu Nguyen & Stephanie DeBou

We started collaborating 3 years ago in a series called The Embodiment Circle - Feeling safe enough to be your true self and have continued to collaborate on in-person Nervous System Reset workshops at De La Sol in Hamilton (next one is March 9!) and Autumn Equinox Retreats at Nusqool. We love weaving and sharing our multidisciplinary embodiment practices and creating safe spaces for the healing and integration of our wholeness and promote a deep sense of connection, clarity and peace from within.

Stephanie Debou, now a full time Yoga and Meditation Teacher, is a former Advertising Executive and Entrepreneur of 15+ years. Her own personal Yoga journey spans a much larger time frame over decades and several countries, but it wasn't until 2017 that she finally gave up her corporate high heels, board rooms and ergonomic chairs in favour of bare feet, yoga mats and meditative cushions. Stephanie has received 500 hours of Formal Training in Yoga and Meditation, and hundreds more as she pursued her studies that lead her into additional training, retreats and workshops for Restorative Yoga, Pre and Post Natal Yoga, Functional Movement, Rope Wall, and Barre. She has also recently completed her Holistic Doula training. It was in her latest training however, to become a Fertility Yoga Specialist, that she encountered the wisdom of Energy Medicine under a Master Teacher. It was the perfect compliment to her Yin yoga and more meditative practices, helping her dive deeper into the Subtle Body, Energetics, and our connection to Self and Spirit. Now her classes are a unique combination of her varied background, all infused with the healing effects of quite literally "tapping" into our energy bodies. Stephanie teaches yoga and meditation to all levels, in studio, in private, online, on retreat, and in corporate settings. Stephanie's unique blend of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), Energy Medicine, Yoga and Meditation weave together in classes that are thoughtfully crafted, elegantly and compassionately delivered, and profoundly transformative.

Thu Nguyen, now a full time inner transformation leadership and somatic coach, is a former tech entrepreneur and CEO of several startups. She spent the earlier part of her life trying to fit in with the "winning gender" in patriarchy as a tom boy, and one of the few female computer engineers in her class, tech jobs in silicon valley and as a founder and completely lost her true self. Her divine feminine parts started to fight back and guide her through a journey of cancer, diabetes, asthma and more. She looks at these physical illnesses as gifts that have guided her to meet mentors, guides, teachers in many wisdom traditions to bring her back to her body and authentic self. She is the founder of Nusqool, a space where people can feel safe enough to be their true self and find their authentic leadership style.

If you are a Nusqool member or have tried TRE before, you are welcome to drop into our weekly iterations of Neurogenic Dancing.

Wu Ji is a classical standing meditation posture and foundation for Tai Chi and Qi Gong. It means standing in the void or literally doing nothing - emptiness in any movement, thought or activity. Or in my own interpretation, standing like a tree - an ultimate state of relaxation.

When I first learned the practice, my teacher said to practice standing 1 min for 7 days, then 2 min for 7 days, then 3 min, etc. until I got to 20 min. And once I skip a day, say on the second week, just restart with 2 min again for the next 7 days. This was a year long endeavour for me and was so worth while so I wanted to extend this practice out to anybody that wants to do this too, for 22 days as a group, we would be at 3 min of standing a day should we make it through and do it together.

There’s many resources online that describe Wuji and here’s one of them: https://forevertaichi.com/2017/02/09/wuji-wu-chi-always/

So if you want to join along, the (free) challenge will start Sat Feb 1 and I’ll open the zoom for just 5 min - no need to video or to talk. We’ll just stand in the void and do nothing together for 1 min a day for 7 days, then 2 min a day for 7 days, then 3 min a day for 7 days, then wrap up with 4 min a day and decide if we should keep going. You can also sign up and never show up to the zoom as a way to start your own practice too.

Looking forward to what emerges from standing in the void - together.
