FOR EMPOWERMENT:
JOY ANTON:
“YOGA WITH JOY”: Morning mindfulness Yoga & Meditation. Mindfulness will empower and enrich you with presence in every moment of life. Life is fuller, deeper, richer, and more meaningful, as we awaken to all that surrounds us and is available to us in each moment. We can regain our balanced center by reconnecting to mindful breathing, feeling our bodies, noticing our emotional state and the thoughts that arise and pass away. Mindful presence is our natural innate gift that we may have forgotten in our busy or painful lives. Each moment is an opportunity to regain consciousness in what is true and real, in a loving compassionate peaceful atmosphere.
LINDA MCLEAN:
“POLISHING THE DIAMOND WITHIN”: You will learn how to tap into your inner wisdom & create your personal roadmap to success: by identifying your core values and the beliefs that control what you think about , the people you identify with, and the goals to which you aspire. You will gain insight of your personal life path. By embracing your inner power to change the things you want changed and appreciate the things you love, you rise up to the next level. Next you will turn your dreams into reality by creating your personalized Vision Board. The workshop is fun, enlightening and will set you on the path of achieving your dreams.
CINDIE WILDING:
“GATHERING THE WHOLE”: A guided visualization where you will sit with your journals handy. Close your eyes and Cindie will guide you through a gathering of the different parts of yourself. We start visualizing a table with chairs, and all your “selves” are being invited to a party. Each separate “self “ is invited in - the responsible self, child self, angry self, etc. At the end there is some unity around accepting and loving all of these and that they are all us. In between selves I allow space for you to journal if you want about each “self”. People report this being a very insightful exercise where they learn new things abou being and embracing the whole you.
“LAUGHTER YOGA”: Fun outside on the lawn! Laughter and more laughter.
FOR RELAXATION:
KAT SIMMONS:
“PAGAMA PARTY COMEDY SHOW”: Kat will make you laugh and laugh. She is the winner of the eWomen talent contest in 2009. She does shows in both Canada and the United States and we are so lucky to have her join us again. At our last event we got in our jammies, put on facial mud masks and waited for Kat’s entrance. Then Kat gave us non-stop laughter from her entrance all the way through the encore! Her material was brilliant and relevant to all of us from our youngest 20 something participant to our wisest 70 something participant.
