About HitRefresh
In a world lost in doing,
with increasing levels of stress, anxiety, and burnout,
HitRefresh is a virtual community that meets regularly
to practice the often-ignored act of being.
At HitRefresh, we dare to
Interrupt the busyness of our work week
to prioritize ourselves.
We let everything drop away, even if for a few minutes
to rejuvenate with simple practices in being human.
With the guidance of an experienced facilitator or practitioner,
we engage in practices like
Laughter Meditation, Breath and Fire, Joy Moves, Drawing Birds, Tapping, HeartMath, Zentangle, Guided Meditation, Singing Bowl Meditation,
activating our senses and more for a midweek 'hit refresh'.
Our Story
In the summer of 2022, inspired by a talk on Building Resilience, Anjali Leon envisioned a unique concept—a weekly event dedicated to nurturing resilience. This idea was born from her personal encounter with burnout and the realization of the crucial need to prioritize well-being as a regular practice.
The vision was to create a consistent, weekly community of practice, strategically placed in the middle of the workweek. This would serve as the ideal opportunity for individuals to 'hit refresh' by reconnecting with themselves.
Embracing the wisdom of the African proverb,
"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go farther, go together"
HitRefresh embodies the belief that a sustainable, enjoyable, and enriching journey is best shared with friends.
Lakshmi Ramaseshan and Nicole Wilker were among the first to resonate with this concept, and Jennifer Mollitor joined the steward team in March 2023. Together, they have refined the idea and structured this vibrant, bi-weekly virtual event.
Now offered on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month, these 30-minute practice sessions are facilitated by experts or experienced practitioners. Open to everyone, HitRefresh has cultivated a global community that collectively practices the simple art of connecting to our body, mind, and spirit.
