Thriving with Birdshot: Tools for Mind, Body & Spirit

Living with Birdshot can be overwhelming—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. This interactive webinar offers a supportive space to explore the deeper impact of living with chronic illness, including how trauma and stress affect the body and mind. Together, we’ll uncover practical tools to help you move from surviving to thriving.

You’ll gain:

  • A trauma-informed understanding of the emotional toll of chronic illness

  • Strategies to manage stress and regulate your nervous system

  • Somatic practices to reconnect with your body and cultivate calm

  • Mindfulness techniques that include connecting with plants for grounding and restoration

  • A mindset to guide in how you care for your whole self

Whether you are newly diagnosed or have been living with Birdshot Uveitis for years, this workshop invites you to tend to your inner life as you care for your physical health. Come away feeling more equipped, empowered, and connected on your healing journey.
