For women there is nothing more liberating than age...if we learn to use our energy, power and wisdom. In some Native American traditions, a woman is not considered fully grown until she becomes 52.

Learn to enjoy being a "juicy" older woman, and honour the process of aging with joy, grace, health, and fun....especially fun!

Healing through Positive Affirmations

“When I was a child, people used to laugh at me because I was an empathetic soul, a bleeding heart. Now they listen.”

If you only had one chance to look at yourself in the mirror, what would you choose to see? What would you say to yourself? Would it be a negative or a positive statement?

Do you ever start a conversation with a negative statement?

Do you ever think that life has thrown you a curve ball?

Are you quick to anger, and slow to forgive?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then this workshop is for you!

Are you willing to take the opportunity to change the way you see yourself and others?

Are you ready to let go of the past and live for today?

“Healing through Positive Affirmations” is a short introduction to what could be the best time of your life. Turn I can’t into I can. Turn I won’t into I will. If focus determines destiny, are you willing to try something new today? If so, then join Myhrr as she explores the science of positive thinking.

Enneagrams

The Enneagram system is an ancient system that divides people into 9 distinct personality types, each a reflection of different patterns of thought, feeling and action. Each of the nine types is rooted in a specific viewpoint or belief structure that largely determines what is important to you and how you interact with the world to fulfill your hopes and dreams.”

BELLY DANCE... FINDING THE GODDESS WITHIN

“Located in this dance is a secret language that tells the story of woman’s lives…their passions and their spirituality, their sacrifices, their intuitions, their emotional life drama.” -Delila

Bellydance Basics:

Whatever your age, shape, life stage, background or beliefs, belly dance can be an amazing means of expressing your inner soul. The movements are ancient…reaching back into the mists of antiquity to matriarchal cultures and temple rites…speaking of the secrets of life and procreation, conception and birth. Belly dance is more than just a dance…it is a perfect way for women to connect with each other and with the divine feminine in all of us. It is a celebration of the female spirit in a display of physical strength and beauty. It offers an excellent workout for our bodies as well as for our imagination and creativity. In the time we share, we'll have fun! We'll talk a little bit about the history and culture of the dance and explore the basic movements as we learn a short choreography. Wear something that is comfortable to move in and bring your water bottle and your sense of humor.

Mandalas

Mandalas are an ancient art form historically used as symbols to help people meditate, focus, or establish sacred space. They are colourful patterns within the boundary of a circle. The word itself comes from Sanskrit for circle, healing circle, sacred circle, whole world, and can also be translated as both the centre and the outer edge of a circle simultaneously. They are sometimes seen to represent a journey from one state of awareness to another. Each pattern, colour, and shape is a significant symbol for that journey. Mandalas are a soothing, more focused way to meditate. This workshop will cover a brief history of the mandala, how to utilize them to their full potential, and then everyone will make their own personal mandala, either by colouring pre-created mandalas, or creating your own. All supplies are provided.

Crystal Grids

Welcome to the wonderful world of crystal and gemstone grids. Crystal grids are made by placing crystals or gemstones in a geometric pattern for the purpose of directing energy and creating a specific energy field. The grid forms an intricate grid of energy lines from stone to stone, creating a very strong vortex of life force energy. As each stone amplifies the healing properties of the other stones, the energy from the crystal grid can be used to support the healing of a person or situation in the past, present, or future. Crystal grids can help protect, manifest, and support an intention or desired goal and its energy can be directed towards whomever or whatever you choose. The only limit in building and using crystal grids is your imagination! You will learn the basic principals of gridding and try your hand at constructing and activating your own grid.
