The Control Circle: Let Go & Refocus Workshop
2026-02-25 18:00 - 19:15 | Harmony Wellness Center, 456 N. Main Street, Oshkosh, WI 54901, 456 N. Main Street, Oshkosh, WI, 54901, United States
This empowering workshop invites you to explore where your energy is truly meant to go and where it may be getting drained by things outside of your control. When we spend time trying to manage other people, outcomes, or situations we can’t control, it often leads to frustration, anxiety, burnout, and emotional exhaustion. Through guided reflection, mindset exploration, and practical exercises, you’ll learn how to identify what is within your control, what you can influence, and what is not yours to carry, allowing you to release unnecessary emotional weight, reclaim your power, and intentionally redirect your energy toward what creates peace, clarity, and forward momentum. This isn’t about giving up or checking out, it’s about choosing where your energy belongs.
This Workshop Is Perfect For: Anyone feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or emotionally drained by circumstances, relationships, or expectations that feel outside their control, and who is ready to let go, refocus, and feel more grounded and empowered.
What You’ll Gain: A clear understanding of what is and isn’t within your control, practical tools to release mental and emotional overload, and a renewed sense of calm, clarity, and personal power.
Workshop Highlights:
Understanding the Control Circle – Learn the difference between what you can control, what you can influence, and what is outside your control, and how misplacing energy impacts your emotional well-being.
Releasing What Isn’t Yours to Carry – Identify where you’ve been holding responsibility for things that aren’t yours and practice letting go with intention, compassion, and clarity.
Refocusing Energy & Reclaiming Power – Gain mindset tools and grounding practices to redirect your energy toward choices, boundaries, and responses that support peace, resilience, and balance.

💿✨ I Love the 2000s Trivia ✨💿
Break out the low-rise jeans and charge up your iPod Nano—it’s time to relive the chaos that was the 2000s. This trivia night is a full-send nostalgia trip through a decade that gave us flip phones, reality TV meltdowns, pop-punk angst, and way too many celebrity feuds.
We’re talking music that lived on burned CDs, movies you definitely watched on DVD, TV shows that ruled your MySpace Top 8, and news moments that made everyone say “wait… WHAT?” If you remember where you were when someone said “I’m not a girl, not yet a woman,” or you still instinctively type in T9, you’re already overqualified.
