Happy New Year!
If this past year has left you feeling too overwhelmed, you crave to release the past and step forward into 2021 with JOY, join us for this unique workshop.
You will be led through a session of EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) tapping to release limiting beliefs and step into positive affirmations. EFT helps to relax the sympathetic nervous system and break down old beliefs in the subconscious mind. We will journal about 2020 and bring clarity about what you want to manifest in 2021.
Next, you’ll be guided through a yoga Nidra practice, to take these new intentions deep into your inner core. Yoga Nidra is a state in which the body is completely relaxed, and the practitioner becomes systematically and increasingly aware of the inner world by following a set of verbal instructions.
What you’ll need for this Zoom session:
* a comfortable seat and somewhere to stretch out for the Nidra
* a journal and pen
* a mug of something delicious to drink
* a blanket to stay cozy for the Nidra
* an open mind and heart
The session will be recorded and emailed to you afterwards.
Suggested donation: $25-35

WALKING THE MEDICINE WHEEL
Date: April 16, 2018
Time: 5-8pm
Location: Squamish Public Library
Presented by Heather Royal
Join the circle! We invite you to experience an introduction of how the Medicine Wheel, an ancient tool, is used to create sacred space, bring in vision and manifest change.
Engage in building a medicine wheel in community and learn how to incorporate these teachings to create your own personal medicine wheel.
In this workshop you will gain insight into the sacred teachings of Earth Based Wisdom and ways to assist your own path towards physical, mental, emotional and spiritual balance and enlightenment.
The teachings of the medicine wheel offers a map to open us up to self awareness; pointing like a compass towards both our strengths and to what needs healing/transforming. We are the authors of our life. As we strengthen our relationship to ourselves, to nature and to others we learn to take responsibility for our lives and live in a co-creative, harmonious and authentic relationship with all beings.
N.B. Though there may be therapeutic benefits, this workshop is not intended as a substitute for therapy conducted by a qualified mental health professional.
Attachment and the caregiver-child relationship in the early years.
An education workshop for caregivers with children 0-6 years.
Facilitated by Victoria Challies and Carmen Hartle.
Having a secure safe base allows young children the confidence to explore their world, try new things, and trust that their primary caregivers will help sooth distress when needed. This workshop will explore how caregivers can use the most important tool – themselves – to understand and respond to their children’s cues. In understanding and responding to children’s cues, caregivers use their relationship as the foundation to promote their child’s mental health.
Victoria Challies is an Infant, Child, and Adolescent Mental Health Clinician with the Ministry of Children and Family Development in Squamish. Carmen Hartle is an Aboriginal Supported Child Development Consultant with Ayas Men Men Child and Family Services in Squamish Valley.
