Below are the classes that are running. We have also changed some days and times due to feedback from you so thank you!
Monday @ 5pm: Movement & Mindfulness for Pandemic Fatigue 60min
If you are feeling heavy energy right now, you are not alone. This class will be themed weekly. It will include gentle movement that can help clear out stress from our physical & emotional body. Certain movement and breath have a way of either stimulating or relaxing the body and this class will include ones that can calm the nervous system down and will align with each weekly theme. At the end of class, we will move into a short meditation and some guided relaxation to settle into deeper rest and healing.
Weekly themes:
Week 1: Meditation to move depression

30min of yoga nidra has been known to be equivalent to 4 hours of deep rest. Yoga Nidra can help activate the relaxation response in your body and improve the functioning of your nervous system. It can help cells regenerate and repair, decrease anxiety and improve your mood. It can also help manage immune function, blood pressure, cortisol levels and induce restful sleep.

This is a story from a friend of mine. She was a registered nurse for 44 years! In one of her other posts she mentioned that she retired in 2017 because her feet, knees and hips screamed at her half way through a 12 hour shift and she would cry on the way home from the pain.
If you have any questions about this liquid collagen, please send me a private message.
Donna's Story
I just wanted to give a shout out my liquid collagen
I joke that LIFE has given me back my life...
But it’s NO joke.
I was that grandma who was sitting on the step and not able to get down in the grass and play with the grandkids.
I was that woman who had stopped doing all the things that brought me joy because of my arthritis “”
I was that woman who was unhappy & miserable and not able to see my future getting any better.
This collagen twice a day has given me a full 180 reversal of my “issues”.
I’m working out again.
I’m able to crochet & knit again.
I can roll on the ground, climb trees and generally be that FUN grandma again!
My skin looks better now than when I was in my 50’s.
I have my LIFE back and it’s all due to LIFE (my aging backwards twice daily tablespoon)
I’M SO THANKFUL EVERYDAY.
Trauma as Medicine Inspirational Talk & Workshop with Sarah Salter Kelly
THIS EVENT HAS BEEN MOVED TO AN OUTDOOR COVERED VENUE AT PURE AWARENESS RETREAT CENTRE. The price has also been changed to INCLUDE her book in the $75 workshop fee!!
In this workshop, Sarah will share inspirational stories and tools for addressing trauma garnished from her own personal experience and from years of teaching trauma focused workshops.
In her book, Trauma as Medicine, Sarah Salter-Kelly shares her experience of her mother’s kidnapping and brutal homicide as an inspiring example of how to distill trauma into medicine on a personal level. Chapter by chapter, she invites the reader to take their own journey of healing. Sarah’s story takes us beyond the realm of personal healing and into the collective, as she seeks to understand her mother’s murderer. This leads her to the First Nations reserve of his ancestors and real-life immersion in the history of colonization in Canada, systemic racism, and white privilege. Offering ceremonies, journaling, and exercises, Sarah leads you into the discomfort of your own suffering to be with it, determine for yourself what you need, and discover the tools to proceed towards wholeness.
Sarah will have her books with her for sale and will do book signings for anyone who would like a special message from her.
Coffee, chocolate mint tea (fresh from Carmon's garden!) & water will be provided.
Please wear warm clothes, bring a couple of blankets, a pen and journal, water/refillable waterbottle and travel coffee mug.
Sarah Salter Kelly is a talented writer, healer and speaker utilizing the raw compounded teachings of her life experience, to uplift, empower and guide others. Her wisdom is authentic, embodied and hard won – generated through years of integrating the tragic homicide of her mother and learning to forgive the perpetrator – alongside thirty years of studying personal growth, mysticism, restorative justice, and earth-based healing traditions. Over the past fourteen years she has run her own private healing practice facilitated retreats – both in Canada and in Peru – taught trauma focused and shamanic healing workshops, and presented at conferences and events.
