In Residence at Sip & Sonder and Sonder Impact present …
The Cypher Sessions with Dr. Byron Young
Join Sonder Impact, Sip & Sonder, and Dr. Byron Young as they present Dr. Young’s “The Cypher Sessions,” where the minds and ideas of the community synergistically come together to uplift and empower one another.
In this next installment of The Cypher Sessions, we’re talking ANXIETY & RUMINATION!
Joined by co-moderator Stephanie Lee of selfmade, we will be focusing on how anxiety manifests in our body and on our skin and demystifying the experience of rumination (aka spiraling thoughts). Highlights include:
selfmade is launching its new Rumination Recovery Balm and will have a play table for you to try products and explore the mental health educational materials associated with them
Self-reflection through generative conversation
Exploring the body/mind connection with a hands-on practice led by selfmade somatic practitioner in residence, Ev’Yan Whitney.
All you will need to bring are your minds, mobile phones, love of music, and willingness to share your ideas and perspectives with the community!
Suggested Donation: $5

The Cypher Sessions is a fun, community-based education program where we deconstruct Black music to ignite discussion amongst participants around social justice and emotional-health topics that affect them.
The Sessions serve as a platform to inspire participants to reflect and share their ideas and perspectives while building and supporting critical thinking amongst marginalized communities, particularly communities of color.
about selfmade
selfmade is a personal care brand made by messy, emotional humans who ditched perfectionism to make practical wellness tools that blend psychology and skincare. Think creams that combat stress and more. We're changing the way we take care of ourselves with results you can see and feel.
about Rumination Recovery Balm
selfmade is launching its fifth product that helps merge mental, physical, and emotional care, Rumination Recovery Balm. This 2-in-1 transformative recovery balm addresses muscle tension and pain with therapeutic ingredients, at the same time as delivering high-performance skincare benefits.
Physical performance is dependent on mental performance and the act of ruminating on perfectionism or wondering about the unanswerable “what ifs?” causes tension and headaches in the jaw, shoulders, and neck. The constant stress response from rumination leads to increased cortisol levels, which can cause muscles throughout the body to tighten as a protective response. This muscle tension from ruminating can negatively impact sleep, productivity, and overall physical well-being over time if not managed. The semi-solid melting balm has a warming glow that releases muscle tension to ease the cycle of fatigue and nourishes resilient skin.
