YOUR BODY IS NOT AGAINST YOU

An Orē Women's Immersion Day
September 12, 2026 · 10–3pm · Soho, NYC

We built this day for the woman who knows something is off — who has read the books, listened to the podcasts, and still feels like she's working against her own body.

This is not another wellness workshop. It's a carefully designed afternoon that moves you from your head into your body, and into deep rest. Through a Pilates-informed pelvic floor practice, an honest panel conversation with four leading practitioners, somatic breathwork, and a closing yoga nidra with acupuncture — every element is designed to land somewhere deeper than information.

You'll leave with practical tools, a clearer understanding of your body, and something harder to name but just as real: the feeling of having been genuinely nourished.

RESERVE YOUR SPOT

THE DAY

  • Refreshments, a moment to leave the week behind before anything begins.

  • With Laurence Agénor. The conversation about your core that nobody ever had with you. Practical, embodied, and long overdue.

  • Chelsea Leyland, Laurence Agénor, Sara Silverstein, Saher Hussaini, and Vera Kasper in honest conversation about the female body from four completely different angles. Open questions woven throughout.

  • With Sara Silverstein. An invitation back into the body's full intelligence, not just its symptoms.

  • Led by Saher Hussaini and Vera Kasper. Needles in, eyes closed, everything integrates.

  • Light refreshments, conversation, and space to let the afternoon land.

YOUR FACILITATORS AND HOSTS

  • Wellness advocate, founder of Looni, and one of the most recognized voices in women's hormonal health. Chelsea turned her personal journey with endometriosis into a platform for honest, accessible education around the female cycle — building a community of women who are done being dismissed by conventional medicine and ready to understand their bodies on their own terms.

  • Somatic sexologist, trauma-informed breathwork guide, and international facilitator with over a decade of experience leading women back into their bodies.
