🌊 5NP TEXAS x OPERATION GET OUT 🌊

We are thrilled to announce that 5NP Texas is partnering with Operation Get Out for the 2026 Get Out Girl Surf & Paddle Jam Weekend!

📍 Lake Austin
🗓 September 19–20, 2026

This all-women weekend brings together water, movement, nature, connection and community while giving back to the women who spend their lives showing up for others.

And when we say frontline, we mean more than emergency response & military personnel.

We’re also calling in mental health clinicians, marriage and family therapists, counselors, psychiatric nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers and other behavioral health professionals who sit on the emotional front lines every day—holding trauma, crisis, grief, addiction, relationship distress and the weight of caring for others.

Your nervous system needs care, too.

5NP Texas believes nervous-system support doesn’t always have to happen inside four walls. Sometimes regulation can look like five tiny needles, bare feet on the earth, sunlight, movement, community—and time in or beside the water.

5NP offers a simple, non-verbal practice that can complement the restorative effects of nature connection and help create space for the nervous system to settle.

Sometimes healing begins with words.

Sometimes it begins outdoors. 🌿

Sometimes it begins on the water. 🌊

And sometimes it begins when the people who care for everyone else are finally given permission to receive care themselves.

💙 Women supporting women
🌊 Water + nature connection
🧠 Nervous-system regulation
🌿 5NP outdoors
🩺 Supporting first responders + mental health professionals
✨ Restoration, resilience + community

Come experience what it feels like to receive the kind of care you spend your days giving to others.

One year later, many in our Hill Country community are finding that their nervous systems are still carrying the weight of flood trauma. And for many, this recent flooding has layered new stress onto wounds that never fully had the chance to heal.

Trauma isn’t simply a memory—it’s something the body continues to hold. Even long after immediate danger has passed, the nervous system can remain in survival mode, contributing to disrupted sleep, anxiety, hypervigilance, irritability, emotional numbness, grief, difficulty concentrating, and feeling constantly “on edge.”

The Five-Needle Protocol (5NP) is a simple, non-verbal, gentle form of auricular (ear) acupuncture that supports the body’s natural ability to regulate and recover after overwhelming stress.

Research suggests auricular acupuncture may:
• Help shift the nervous system from sympathetic (“fight, flight, or freeze”) toward parasympathetic regulation (“rest, digest, and repair”)
• Stimulate branches of the vagus nerve that influence heart rate variability (HRV), emotional regulation, and resilience
• Reduce perceived stress and anxiety
• Improve sleep quality
• Promote a sense of calm, grounding, and connection
• Create a quiet, non-verbal space for healing—especially valuable when words feel insufficient

While everyone’s experience is different and 5NP is not a replacement for mental health treatment, many people report feeling calmer, more emotionally regulated, and better able to cope after a session.

If you, your family, or someone you know has been impacted by the floods—whether recently or last year—you don’t have to carry it alone.

First, a heartfelt thank-you to Martha Marshall, cofounder of 5NP Texas, whose many years of connection with Operation Get Out helped make this meaningful collaboration possible. Martha, thank you for your dedication to bringing care, stillness, and connection to this community. 💙

What a beautiful fall retreat with Operation Get Out at Canyon Lake! It was an honor for 5NP Texas to offer five-needle ear acupuncture each morning at sunrise for first responders, veterans, and their spouses—a quiet space to pause, receive care, and begin the day together as the light spread across the water. 🌅

Wallace J. Nichols’ Blue Mind work explores how being near, in, or on water can support calm, reduce stress, and deepen our sense of connection. Bringing 5NP into this natural setting offered an invitation to slow down, settle into stillness, and make room for rest and renewal.

A heartfelt thank-you to Cindy and Steve, Shelby and Ricky Hollis, and the entire Operation Get Out staff for bringing this meaningful weekend to life. Thank you to Kenny with Centurion Boats, all the boat drivers, and the wake surf coaches for sharing your time, skills, and encouragement—and for creating opportunities for joy, adventure, and connection on the water.

And to every participant who was open to trying something new: thank you for your trust and willingness to join us at sunrise. It was a privilege to share those peaceful mornings with you.

For those who spend so much of their lives caring for others, we were grateful to offer a moment to receive care, too. 💙

❤️ 5NP Texas Community — One of Our Own Needs Us

Our hearts are with Christie Mokry, one of our 5NP Texas Registered Trainers, and her partner Evan, whose lives were turned upside down by a devastating house fire this week.

We are incredibly grateful that Christie, Evan, and their little hero dog, Bootsie, are all safe. But in the aftermath of a fire, safety is only the beginning. They are now facing the uncertainty of what can be recovered and the enormous task of rebuilding a sense of home, stability, and normalcy.

Christie is part of a community built around a very simple idea: we show up for one another.

As a 5NP Registered Trainer, she has committed herself to sharing a practice centered on helping people find grounding, regulation, and connection during difficult times. Now we have an opportunity to offer some of that care back to her.

A GoFundMe has been created to help Christie and Evan with housing, living expenses, essentials, and the many unexpected needs that come after a loss like this.

❤️ If you are able, please donate.
❤️ If you can’t donate right now, please share.
❤️ And please surround Christie, Evan, and Bootsie with love as they begin putting the pieces back together.

Small acts of care become something much bigger when a community does them together.

Christie, your 5NP Texas family is holding you close. We are here.

Please donate or share:
