Upcoming Gatherings & Workshops

Circle Sister Woman's Gathering
3rd Friday of each month
By Donation

As a woman, I know we need a safe space to show up as we are, authentic, vulnerability, and imperfect.
My goal is to create a safe space for all women; to rise, to discover, to laugh, to cry, to share, find our voices, claim our power and celebrate our self-worth. A space where every voice and everyone if equal every story valued, honoured and received fully.

Throughout history woman have gathered in sacred circle, there is a power, a magic that unfolds when woman gather in this way. Circle creates a space for authenticity that is often lacking in our day to day lives.

In circles like this we heal; grow; transform; we rise.  When Women rise communities rise.

​The magic and synchronicity that will unfold in each circle carries it's own unique flavour but you can expect something like this:
Opening circle and introduction
Inspirational reading or guest speaker
Gentle intentional movement; yoga, dancing…
Meditation, chanting or breath-work, sometimes with live music
Ritual or creative arts
Sharing
Closing circle

Next 6 Dates below. Check back for details about themes and guest speakers for the month.

SELF LOVE: A Kundalini Circle Ceremony
Saturday, April 6 | 6:30-8:30pm
Pre Register: $25 or At the Door: $35 

30% off for students who participated in 3+ classes in the Self Love Series

Imagine if someone in your life celebrated you for your achievements, encouraged you to rest when you were tired, held compassionate space for you to cry when you needed it, praised your courage when you tried something new and made a mistake. Imagine someone who always saw the best in you no matter how many times you failed or f*cked up, someone who loved you unconditionally and never asked you to do more than your best. What if that person was you?

In this special 2 hr. class, we will…
  • Practice a powerful Kundalini Kriya in the heated room (heat will be off but the room will still be warm) to shed the physical, mental and emotional layers that keep you from experiencing your essence.
  • Use sound to enter a deep meditative space
  • Participate in a healing circle to release the roots of our unworthiness.
  • Experience a transformative self-love ritual you can continue to practice at home.
  • Leave feeling expanded, loved, relaxed and centered with tools for your journey.

Please bring a water bottle, journal, pen and an open mind. Space is limited to 12 participants.

Kirtan with Leah Fae & Richard Bryant
Saturday Jan 12th
7:30-9pm
$20 in advance - $25 at the door 

Join Leah Fae on Harmonium and Richard Bryant on Guitar for a musical meditation. Kirtan, a form of Bhakti yoga – often referred to as the yoga of devotion. The root of Bhakti is bhaj- to share or to love. With the repetition of sound one is able to lose themselves in the rhythm and the melody, allowing a new vibration to wash through the psyche. It’s a beautiful thing to let go of self-consciousness of singing with people – some of whom you may have never met – and allow your voice to blend with the group. The ancient chants contain powerful renewing and transformative energy that helps us reconnect with the Divinity that resides within.

Dear sister,
A sacred day of visioning is waiting for you … 
 
The approaching January full moon and total lunar eclipse is one of the most potent times this year to vision and create.
 
We know you’re doing it all. And “busy” is the buzzword these days.               

But what about sacred time for you? 
 
You need some space to slow down. You need sacred stillness. You need a container for your desires. You need a sisterhood of support.
 
Especially as you vision into making 2019 your best year yet.
 
Sistership Circle Facilitators all over the world have co-created a day that grounds your vision for 2019.
 
We have created a container that showers you with support, love, ritual, journaling, dancing, and fun!
 
“Unveiling HerVision” is about you, the busy woman, taking time to nurture your Feminine.
(by going inward, calling in gratitude, connecting to your truth, opening up to receive, getting support) and then claiming your Masculine energies of action, clarity, and creating what you desire.
 
As busy women, some of this Feminine energy is missing… and that is part of what’s causing frustration, sadness, and burn-out.
 
Imagine …
Space holding + Sisterhood + Support for your heart vision
Imagine …
Time to tune in + Time to reflect +Time to explore your truth
Imagine …
Feeling Clear + Confident + Committed to your desires
Imagine …
Sacred sisterhood + Safe space + Sharing and celebrating in sacred circle
 
Visionary sisterhood is being remembered because it’s needed now more than ever.
Are you ready to…
• Ground into your vision for 2019
• Step into clarity
• Connect to your body, voice, truth, and power
• Come together with the tribe of ladies to feel the power of one woman/one tribe/one community
• Share your vision
• Celebrate the old and bring in the new
• Allow yourself to be cocooned in a bubble of love
It’s time to release the stress, the worry, the fear and step into your calling for 2019 with clarity, support, and love!

This event is limited, so if your body wisdom is talking to you right now and telling you this is what you need— we invite you to trust and act on your intuition and join the community of amazing women ready to support you and your vision.

Emotions are the last frontier of self-awareness, our least understood faculty.
Emotions are a direct link to our deepest self, physical sensations that contain messages in a language we were never taught to understand or worse to fear and repress. Emotions are our passion, our drive, our life blood, they make us feel alive!
Emotional Intelligence is the ability to experience the full range of human emotions; to HAVE emotions, to feel them but not to BECOME them. 
Self - Awareness is the keystone to emotional intelligence; The conscious knowledge of one's true character, feelings, motives, and desires. Kundalini Yoga develops a relationship with the Self. It's the Yoga of awareness.
Emotional intelligence is built using the yogic teaching of non-attachment, which is very different from detachment. 
Non-attachment is a practice of witnessing all experiences from a neutral place, not allowing your sense of well-being to be swayed by everything that appears to you; people, places, perceptions, thoughts, sensations, events and experiences.
Detachment on the other hand, means to distance oneself from the world out of disinterest or fear - a barrier to separate oneself from the rest of the world and the feelings associated with human interaction. Essentially, it's an escape from feeling.
Feelings are scary sometimes, they are intense because they want our attention. Emotion is the language of our intuition - our internal GPS that wants to guide us toward bliss and purpose. 
Starting March 7th, I am teaching a 9 week series to cultivating emotional intelligence. Using Kundalini yoga, body awareness, breathing techniques, visualization and reflective journaling, we will strengthen our most important relationship, the one with our Self.
