The Art of Regulation: Nervous System Mastery as the Ultimate Luxury
8:30pm
Join us for a curated conversation between Dr. Parlor and Paulina that explores nervous system regulation as the new status symbol for high‑achieving individuals, reframing luxury as internal spaciousness—calm authority, discernment, and embodied presence. Together, they unpack the hidden costs of chronic hyper‑competence and subtle burnout, redefine regulation as power rather than withdrawal, and invite guests to reflect on how they shape their mornings, transitions, pleasure, and recovery. The experience closes with a brief sensory anchoring practice and a thoughtful takeaway, reinforcing the central idea that regulation is a relationship with your own capacity—and that true luxury is feeling held, inside and out.

Leave with practical, personalized tools to integrate regulation into everyday life and create a new standard of sustainable self-care.
