SUMMARY:Radiance Within: Preparing for Winter
DESCRIPTION:Six Foundations for Seasonal Balance & Whole-Women Wellness \nWhether you are new to holistic approaches to wellbeing or already interested in natural and seasonal living\, this workshop offers an accessible introduction to the wisdom of living in rhythm with yourself and your environment. \nWinter invites us to slow down\, turn inward\, and nourish what sustains us. Yet our modern lives often ask us to keep moving at the same pace\, regardless of the season. \nIn this two-hour experiential workshop\, women will be introduced to the wisdom of Unani Tibb\, a traditional system of medicine that recognizes the important relationship between our bodies\, our environment\, and the way we live each day. \nTogether\, we will explore the Six Essential Factors of Unani Tibb (Asbab Sitta Dharuriyya) through the lens of winter: \n\n\nAir & Environment \n\n\nMental & Emotional Activity & Rest \n\n\nPhysical Activity & Rest \n\n\nSleep & Wakefulness \n\n\nElimination & Retention \n\n\nNutrition \n\n\nRather than approaching these as a list of rules\, we will explore them as six places to pause\, listen\, and make intentional choices as we enter the winter season. \nThe workshop will also introduce the concepts of cycle awareness\, womb wellness\, and feminine rhythms\, inviting participants to consider how seasonal living can support a deeper relationship with their own bodies and changing needs. \nThrough reflection\, conversation\, and simple seasonal practices\, participants will leave with a personal Winter Wellness Map and one intentional practice they can carry into the season. \nParticipants will: \n\n\nLearn the foundational philosophy of Unani Tibb and its approach to living in balance. \n\n\nBecome familiar with the Six Essential Factors and how they influence everyday wellbeing. \n\n\nExplore how winter can invite greater rest\, warmth\, nourishment\, inwardness\, and reflection. \n\n\nDiscover practical ways to adapt daily habits to the winter season. \n\n\nBegin connecting seasonal rhythms with the rhythms of the menstrual cycle. \n\n\nReflect on their own needs and identify one area of life to intentionally nourish this winter. \n\n\nLeave with a simple\, personalized winter practice to integrate into daily life. \n\n\nAudience: Mothers\, single women\, and women who are simply curious about living more intentionally and in greater connection with their bodies. \nNo prior knowledge of Unani Tibb\, cycle awareness\, or holistic wellness is necessary. \nLearn about the Facilitator: \nShabana Shah is a certified Unani Tibb Practitioner and founder of Radiance Within Wellness\, a holistic women’s wellness practice rooted in the traditional framework of Unani Tibb. She holds a Diploma in Herbal and Naturopathic Medicine from the College of Medicine and Healing Arts in Leicester\, UK\, where she trained under Hakim M. Salim Khan. With a background in education\, Shabana integrates Unani Tibb\, womb wellness\, cycle awareness\, and sacred femininity to offer women practical tools\, reflective practices\, and traditional wisdom for understanding their bodies\, nurturing well-being\, and cultivating greater balance. \nContact info: \nTibb4women@gmail.com \nhttps://radiancewithinwellness.com \n@radiance_withinwellness \n\nAll tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable. \nFinancial assistance is available.
