Your Body’s Hidden Power: The Science of Shifting from Stress to Flow

with Amandine LeRoux

The Body’s Hidden Power: How to Shift from Stress to Strength is a transformative keynote that blends science, storytelling, and sound to help audiences understand that stress isn’t a flaw—it’s feedback. Through her own journey from burnout to balance, Amandine reveals how the nervous system can be “tuned” like an instrument using breath, awareness, and frequency. Backed by research from neuroscience and somatic psychology, she teaches how to regulate your body’s internal rhythm, transform overwhelm into clarity, and access the flow state that fuels purpose and creativity. This talk isn’t just motivational—it’s experiential. Audiences leave not only inspired but equipped with a simple, science-backed reset they can use anytime life feels out of tune.

TalkAbout Discussion – After service enjoy some coffee and snacks then join the TalkAbout discussion circle with the speaker to share your thoughts and ask questions related to the talk topic.


🌈 Childcare and activities are available for children 0 through 12 years. Parents – Be sure your kiddos have warm jackets for outside playtime. 😁

This Week’s Topic: Meditation and Visualization!


After Service Brunch – Please Bring Something to Share

Member Appreciation

We want to take a moment to deeply appreciate Tally Nelson and all that she gives to this community.

Tally supports our board with steadiness and care, tends the kitchen and facility with quiet devotion, and—just as importantly—holds space infused with love, presence, and kindness. Much of what she does happens behind the scenes, yet the impact is felt everywhere.

Her willingness to step in, to notice what’s needed, and to offer herself with grace helps create a space where others feel welcomed, nourished, and at ease. This ministry is stronger, warmer, and more grounded because of her.

Thank you, Tally, for all that you do—and for all that you are. Your love in action matters more than you know.
