Heartspace Awareness and Exploration with Juliena Brown
Come spend an hour learning practices to sink into our deepest of selves. We will connect with entering our heart spaces through exploration of the breath, mindfulness and somatics, sound, and acupressure. TCM is a medicine of poetry and stories. It has taught me a new way of looking at and communicating with my body. It has helped me listen, learn and attune. Being that it is rooted in one’s innate healing ability, this medicine empowers individuals to find their personal balance within the universe. Come inquire about the beauty and metaphor of the story you hold in your body. Honour your body and yourself through this practice.
About Juliena, R.Ac,RYT
I have dedicated the last 21 years to training and working in the health field through the modalities of traditional Chinese medicine, massage, yoga, mindfulness and sound healing. I am passionate about wellbeing and am committed to educating myself on new ways to reach optimal health. My work is based on the belief that we are whole multifaceted and that these healing tools can help us to realign with our true integrity. All the education and practice I’ve done in my life was to find essence, truth, depth and meaning. To commune with the aliveness in each of us, to acknowledge the energetic and to feel the pulse of the heart of life. To build resilience and capacity within our bodies and increase well being. I believe this work to be a vehicle for the understanding of self and other through curiosity, exploration and courage.

Self Care in the New Year
Take time for yourself and care for your body, mind and soul in this mini retreat. Meditation, Yoga Flow, Reflexology Workshop & Sauna Time.
Jackie Jonkheid will be joining us to lead self-care reflexology workshop that will focus on the Endocrine System and Digestion.
Your Hormones determine your personality and how you interact with people around you. Our endocrine system is constantly exposed to hormone disruptors in modern society.
This workshop will focus on how to help your endocrine and digestive system get back into balance and get strong enough to withstand influences from the outer environment. Nutritional tips to take home for better hormone function.
About Jackie
Health, nature and natural resources have held her interest since Jackie was a child. When she lived in the Dutch Caribbean in the 1980’s, she came into touch with reflexology for the first time. Close friends wanted to have a child, and for eight years relied on mainstream medicine, with no result. Their friend suggested the couple try reflexology. After a series of reflexology treatments each, the couple conceived. That impressed Jackie so much, that she wanted to get to know more about this natural healing method. She began researching reflexology and using the acquired knowledge by applying the therapy on herself.
Initially Jackie worked in the environmental sector for several years. When her employer restructured the organization, she took the opportunity to develop her interest in reflexology. Two years after enrolling in the International Study of Naturopathic Reflexology at De Wouden Study Programme, she received her diploma, followed by a study of Mainstream Basic Medical Knowledge at the Arnhem University of Applied Sciences for Naturopathy in the Netherlands. As a practicing reflexologist member of the Reflexology Association of British Columbia, Jackie has an ongoing access to new insights and developments in this natural healing method.
Jackie has practiced reflexology at home and in public practices in the Netherlands and the Kootenays since 2002. It is her passion to help people feel good and create a feeling of blissful relaxation for people of all ages, even babies!

Stoke your inner fire and light up your potential
Each day we are posed with new challenges: work, relationships, children, family, chores. With so much energy dedicated to our daily obligations, it’s wildly important that we make the time to stoke our inner fire. This is your magical chance. In this retreat you will be reminded of who you are, and be invited to take time to devote yourself to just you for the evening. Together we will reignite our energy through reiki, meditation, yoga and sauna. Let’s move, sweat and laugh! Connecting to the infinite power of ourselves. We invite you to join us on this journey!
Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing.
REIKI – Rei which means “God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power” and Ki which is “Life Force Energy”.
So Reiki can then be defined as “Spirit guided life force energy”.
Because reiki energy travels through the body exactly where it’s needed, as it’s needed, it can be used in a group setting beautifully. Each participant will have their own unique experience by setting their own intention for the session. The reiki practitioner will facilitate this experience by guiding the participants through a grounding and connecting meditation and then quietly sitting with each participant for a period of time to support the movement of reiki energy how they need it individually. At the end of the session the practitioner will guide the participants through a short meditation to promote balance and energetically bring everyone back into full awareness of their surroundings. ~

Friday, Oct. 28th
Samhain is the mid-point between the Autumn Equinox and Winter Solstice in the Celtic Calendar. Traditionally celebrated as Halloween – a time when the veils between the worlds become thinner and we gain access to the ‘otherworld’ – where we can reconnect with our ancestors and loved ones passed. The season takes us into the darkest quarter of the year, which affords us an opportunity to dive deep into the shadow parts of ourselves. This darkness has all the qualities of the feminine aspect, it’s a time of submerging, releasing, receptivity, reflection and introspection as we wait for the re-emergence or ‘rebirth’ of the light on the Winter.
During this mini retreat we will invite Samhain practices to celebrate life and death. Have fun and let loose in a glow yoga flow, guided meditation and ceremonial circle honouring our ancestors. And then unwind in the sauna.
5:30 – 8:30 PM
– 10-15 minute meditation
– Glow Yoga
– Samhain Ceremony
-Sauna
Come with a friend, or solo, and connect with a community of like-minded souls.
During these darker days, let us celebrate the light and power within to embrace the magic and mystery of death and rebirth. In this sacred Samhain ceremony, we will honour our loved ones’ past and our Ancestors. We will take you on a journey beyond the physical to the Spirit realm to gain wisdom and guidance from those beyond the veil. We will create a sacred space to embrace and empower by warming our hearts for the colder season ahead.
