So many of us struggle with feeling connected to our most authentic self. And often even when we do feel connected, it can be difficult to express this.

There are so many factors that get in the way of our authenticity: societal conditioning and expectations, family norms, trauma, external pressure, systematic oppression, self-doubt, perfectionism and more. It really is a privilege (in more than one sense of the word) to explore our depths and live our most authentic expression of being human.

Our work here is guided by the desire for all humans to have the right to express their own authentic version of aliveness.

How connected do you feel to your own authenticity?

•The Art of Wintering Retreat•

If you are feeling the call to slow down, turn inward, and be nourished, our “Art of Wintering” retreat may be the medicine you are seeking.

For many of us, winter can be a difficult time as we try to ‘human’ amongst the icy cold temperatures, short days, and little sunlight.

This ‘outer’ winter can also be reflected as an ‘inner’ winter - a season sometimes met with heaviness, slowness and difficulty within.

In our society, it seems to be a ‘norm’ to continue to try to be energized, productive and enlivened all year round.

“The Art of Wintering” retreat is an invitation to move with the rhythm and wisdom of winter, dropping into introspection, nourishment, slowness and self-care and connecting with the heavier, more shadowy sides of ourselves.

Your Experience Will Include:

* Inquiry + Reflection
* Sacred Tea Ceremony
* Embodied Movement
* Expressive Arts
* Ayurvedic Wisdom for Winter
* Yoga Nidra Practice
* Sound Healing
* A warm lunch, nourishing snacks and beverages
* Optional Angel Card Reading

Who:
All are welcome (16+)
(and no experience needed)

When:
Saturday, January 27
9:30am-4pm

Where:

(1170 Broad Street, Regina)

Exchange:

$250 (includes lunch)
(Eligible for insurance reimbursement)

$33 for optional angel card reading

If you want to truly honour your feelings, you have to be willing to let others around you be uncomfortable.

Notice how often you suppress or dilute your sadness, hurt, anger to keep those around you cozy… because THEY don’t know what to say or do.

Not only does this do you a disservice, but it can actually enable the other person to not to grow their own capacity to hold and be with emotion too.

(And because this is the internet and everything is taken so black and white… of course there are situations where it’s appropriate to contain your emotions. Or times when it’s not safe to be honest).

“It’s no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society” - Jiddhu Krishnamurti

How much do you base how “well” or “good” you are based on society’s norms and expectations? How much of this is in your conscious awareness, and how much do you accept as truth?

The pressure, stress and trauma of modern living affects our health in such profound ways, yet we often hold ourselves or others responsible for the “problems” we have. Many of our mental, emotional, physical and spiritual challenges and woundings are a completely healthy reaction to an unhealthy society.

•Cultivating an Attitude of Gratitude:
10-Day Practice•

As we begin a new year, it can be easy to focus on areas of improvement. While this can be supportive for growth, it can also pull us away from recognizing the ways we are and have enough.

Amidst the global challenges (particularly in G@za right now), we find ourselves sitting uncomfortably in the dissonance between the abundance of privilege we have in our relatively unscathed lives and the indescribable loss + horror happening elsewhere. We are also so struck by the resilience of people going through immense suffering - those finding silver linings, gratitude and hope when things seem so bleak and hopeless.

With all of this in mind, we are feeling called into cultivating a gratitude practice as we enter 2024, to help ground us in our inner and outer resources, to the privilege of being alive, and to the ways we are and have enough. We also believe that connecting deeply to our gratitude can help us deepen our empathy for others.

We would love for you to join us if you feel called to kick-start an attitude of gratitude this year. Here’s our plan:

For 10 days, starting today, we will share one unique prompt per day (which you can see on the slides above). On our story, we will share an image of what we are grateful for in that topic, and invite you to do the same! Please tag us so we can share your story/post with others (tag if you’re making a post!)

Feel free to share your gratitude in the comments below! Gratitude breeds gratitude.

•The Unravelling - a return to authentic aliveness •

“can you remember who you were before the world told you who you should be?” - Charles Bukowski

Welcome to The Unravelling:

A conscious process of peeling away the layers that have disconnected you from who you really are.

Within this trauma-informed group container, it is our mission to unravel and unlearn our conditioning so that we can embody our authenticity, embrace our aliveness and call our parts back into wholeness.

We meet ourselves and each other with curiosity and compassion, while also taking responsiblity for the parts that are more difficult to own.

We will support this unwinding through deep inquiry, somatic/embodiment work, arts and expressive arts modalities, and witnessing + being witnessed.

The Container:

We will meet 8 times within a 3 month container, for two hours at a time, with breaks in between some weeks to allow for extra rest and integration.

Cohort 1 will meet on Saturday mornings virtually from 10am-12pm (starting January 13) and Cohort 2 will meet on Sunday mornings in person from 10am-12pm (starting January 14).

In between sessions, there will be practices and reflections to continue to aid the process of raising consciousness, while unwinding and unhooking from conditioning.

Registration:

This group will be small, in order to offer the containment needed to do this deep work.

Registration is accepted on an application basis.

Please visit our website for more information about the process, dates, and investment, and to complete the application form:

Uplifted: Therapeutic Yoga Series for Mood + Vitality

If you are feeling depressed, disheartened, down, stuck, dispirited, disconnected, lonely, stagnant or low energy, this series may be for you.

In these classes, we will spend time doing breathwork, writing, movement and yoga poses that help us move out of our head and into our body. We will seek to balance the nervous system and release stuck/stagnant emotions and energy.

The intention of this class is in the title: for you to feel lifted up (by your own energy source + by the community).

We meet weekly for six weeks, in order to create a container where we can deepen into ourselves + into community, and stay focused on moving into a different way of being.

No previous yoga experience is needed.
