There’s a life force within us all that can become dormant when we forget to move our bodies in ways that are playful, free, and in flow with our essence. When we allow ourselves to move in ways that are outside of the box, we create an opportunity for alignment between body and spirit. In this practice you’ll be in a supported and cozy space for just that; just you. Come and move and flow and allow the weight of what is not yours to melt away as you connect back to your essence; to REVIVE your spirit. All are welcome in this space, and you do not need to have any prior background in movement or dance. See you there!

Our grief circle offerings hold space to express emotions and share memories and experiences related to loss, with the hope of integrating grief into our lives. We will follow the healing flow within the rich connection of the community through activating and witnessing and then soothing our grief.
During the circle, we will be connecting with each other to share our grief and loss – there may be singing, writing, drumming, movement, writing, reading, and snacking.('feast') We will honour Francis Weller’s Six Gates of Grief during our time together.
1. All that we love we will lose
2. The places that have not known love
3. The Sorrows of the World
4. What we expected but did not receive
5. Ancestral grief
All grief is always welcome in the circle. Whether it’s the loss of a person, place or pet, a life transition, or the sorrow you feel for what is unfolding in the world, your grief has a place within the circle.
Both Daria and Alexis completed Francis Weller’s six month Grief Ritual Training in 2024.

Building Mastery in Thoughts and Thinking
Facilitator: Victoria Mitchell
Date: Sunday, May 4
Time: 1-2:30 pm
$40+gst
Do you ever find your mind doing things that you wish it wouldn’t? Does it say mean things, keep you up at night, or spend too much time reviewing the past and worrying about the future?
This workshop draws from Cognitive Behavioural Theory, parts work, and yogic philosophy to support you in becoming a clear and compassionate leader to the part of you that thinks.
Through discussion, experiential practice, and guided meditation, this session covers the anatomy of thoughts and the foundational skills needed to manage them. We will look beneath the surface to understand what your mind is trying to do, practice creating new direction, and work on responding to it in a way that will help it help you.
Participants are encouraged to bring a yoga mat, and those who enjoy writing may bring a notebook and pen if they wish. Handouts will be provided.
This event is led by a Registered Psychologist as part of a series created to make the knowledge, practice, and skills-based components of therapy more accessible. It is a hybrid of workshop and group therapy, and qualifies for reimbursement under most health insurance plans.

“La Loba Mística”
A Mystic Regenerative Journey with Caesar Balestrini and Jodi Hope-Johnstone
Nov 17, 2024
6-9 pm
We are offering this as a Pay What You Can event.
Join us for a three-hour journey into the depths of your soul, where ancient myths, the power of song, and the primal beat of drums converge to awaken your inner wildness.
In this evening journey we draw inspiration from the myth of La Loba, the Wolf Woman, who roams the desert gathering the bones of the dead to breathe life back into them. Guided by this timeless tale, we'll embark on our own soul-retrieval journey, reclaiming lost fragments of ourselves and embracing our inherent wholeness.
As the rhythm of drums and healing songs envelops us, we'll surrender to the primal pulse of the earth, allowing its potent energy to awaken dormant parts of our being. Just as La Loba breathes life into the bones, we'll use the power of song to infuse vitality into every cell of our being, revitalizing our spirit and restoring our innate vitality.
Through conscious connected breathwork, we'll tap into the life force that flows within us, unlocking buried emotions, releasing stagnant energy, and inviting in profound healing. Like La Loba, we'll gather the fragments of our soul and breathe new life into them, embracing the fullness of who we are.
This workshop is a sacred invitation to reconnect with your primal essence,and to embrace the wild, untamed spirit within. Are you ready to howl with the Wolf Woman and reclaim yourself and your power? Join us on this transformative journey of self-discovery and wholeness.

"P R A T Y A H A R A” Optimizing the Sense of Being
Join Andrew Misle and Kelly Day for a session on APRIL 23rd dedicated to the integration of pratyahara techniques into all aspects of the yoga practice.
Pratyahara shifts our focus from sensory perception to the essence of perception itself, guiding us to reconnect with the profound core of our being, where the observer resides
To truly live and breathe into our fullest potential requires that we awaken to and optimize our sense of Self. It requires that we expand our capacity to feel, think, and see clearly — polishing our inner lens to the visions we choose to seek.
This class will include the necessary ingredients to leave you feeling grounded, clear, and deeply at ease. We’ll explore dynamic asana, pranayama, pratyahara, dharana and dhyana practices as a way to increase our vitality, enhance our attention, and prepare us for the meditation seat.
When we turn up the voltage of our life, our being begins to communicate back to us in unimaginable and tangible ways. This will be a practice of recognizing the synergistic relationship between our felt sense and our lived reality.

Intuition begins with connection.
Are you looking for more guidance? A stronger connection to your intuition?
The deeper our connection to our bodies, sense of self and our environment, the more we will be able to access, understand and act on the messages we receive.
This workshop explores the premise that the more we can connect with and know ourselves, our nervous systems, our bodies, our patterns, the more we can connect and relate to other people and deeper ways of knowing?.
We will take a sacred deep dive into learning how our personal intuition works and how we can begin to optimise and trust it!
What we will cover in our time together:
Our nervous system and how it affects our intuition (The science of our nervous system and how it affects our intuition)
How trauma affects and influences our intuition
What is Limbic Resonance
How our subconscious speaks to us
How to use altered states of consciousness and ceremony to connect to our intuition
The difference between gut feeling and intuition
How to tell what is mine and what isn’t
What is our predominant form of intuition
Experiential practices to increase our intuition
If you are interested in connecting more with yourself and your intuition, we would love to spend this weekend with you.
Your Instructor: Jodi Hope-Johnstone has been in the healing arts for over 2 decades. Following her intuition, she attended her first yoga class at the age of 18 which set her off on a life long journey into the body, the healing arts and more often than not, the unknown. Throughout her travels, studies, life lived and lost, her intuition has been a constant companion and faithful friend. This friendship continuously deepens the more she heals, connects and trusts.
Taking from her experiences and trainings as a wellness practitioner, birth and death doula, senior level yoga teacher, trauma informed breathworker and energy healer, Jodi brings her practical and in depth knowledge to Embodied Intuition in a way that is accessible for seasoned practitioners and new comers a like.
Here what others have to say about this workshop:
“I thoroughly enjoyed Jodi’s style of teaching & learned so much from her knowledge. She was so open to sharing from her own experiences & her connection with intuition, which helped us to trust our own. The way we explored using simple yet profound practices was illuminating & I felt truly supported all along the way. I would highly recommend anything Jodi offers, as you will leave with new tools to apply what you learned to yourself & your own life going forward.”
-A. Cox, Yoga Therapist
“Jodi’s Embodied Intuition offering was a sacred container filled with information, tools and ceremony that bathed me with inspiration and encouragement to connect to my intuition. I highly recommend it to anyone in the spiritual path.”
-P. Galindo
