Sonoma Sostenedores

A Seat at Your Own Table: Sustaining the Women Who Feed, Host, and LeadYou&#39;ve spent a career setting the table for everyone else. This is the hour you pull up a chair. Location: The Studio at Dragonfly Floral Farm, Healdsburg Women leaders in food, wine, and hospitality have spent careers nourishing others: feeding guests, building teams, mentoring the next generation, and giving generously to their communities. That generosity is a strength, and it carries hidden costs, among them chronic stress, burnout, and a quiet pattern of putting themselves last. This interactive workshop honors the gift of giving, invites participants to recognize their own patterns of over-functioning and self-abandonment, and explains how chronic stress shapes the brain and body. It distinguishes what is ours to change from what belongs to the systems we work within, then reframes self-care as a leadership responsibility rather than a selfish indulgence. Participants leave with practical strategies for boundaries, support, and small sustainable steps, because you can&#39;t feed anyone from an empty plate, and you can&#39;t pour from an empty cup. Led by our own Dame Lori Varsames
