Assertiveness Workshop

Do you find it hard to say, “No!” to other people? Do you have difficulty “sticking to your guns”, standing-up for yourself, or sharing your opinion?

This 2 ½ hour workshop will help you identify how assertive you really are. Through the presentation, interactive participation, and fun games and role plays we will explore assertiveness, examine the barriers that hold us back from being assertive, and learn communications skills, techniques and tools to become more assertive.

Mini Workshops

Si Transken and Dahne Harding will facilitate regular mini workshops throughout the weekend which allow participants to explore the theoretical, emotional, physical and psychological experiences of being a woman, indeed, of being an individual in the world through art and poetry. Relaxed, fun, and spontaneous, the creativity intervals will engage women collectively and individually to create written and visual works of art that validate and inspire, and hopefully engage with each other and themselves at an authentic level. This engagement is intended to be part of an overall experience which will allow women to meet, laugh, and recharge in a way that enables them to meet the world again—refreshed and rejuvenated.


Take a Chance and Trust That Knowledge is Power.

Looking at where you came from – where you are today and where you want to be. Most important what legacy you have left behind. Throughout this course you will see how you are accountable for what you have created in your life up until right now. You have the opportunity to learn how you can change your life path and create anything you want. Just dream and dreams do come true.


Nia

You know the feeling of a night out celebrating with your girlfriends on the dance floor? That is available to you whenever you like with Nia! Nia is an expressive movement and awareness practice that is filled with depth, tenderness and clarity and uniquely supports everyone's body, mind, emotions and spirit. It blends steps and stances taken from the essence of nine movement forms including the dance arts, martial arts, and healing arts. Nia offers an experience that embraces your individual creativity, self-inquiry, and free expression. In Swahili, Nia means with purpose. It is a living system that works with the body's natural wisdom and intelligence. Nia supports the Pleasure Principle; If it feels good, keep doing it! If it hurts, stop! Liberation of the body is the goal and liberation is fun. Liberation is breathing. There is no competition, no right or wrong (but there is better), no master teacher to heed and no goal except the liberation of the body. That liberation comes through building a deep emotional connection to the body through the movement. Come and celebrate the gift of your body regardless of shape, size, age or ability. Nia is for every BODY.

~Please wear clothes that are cool and comfortable to move in and that you do not mind sweating in! A water bottle, a smile and a few friends is great too!

Altars and Shrines

What are your thoughts when you hear the words “altar” or “shrine,” what comes to mind? For many of us, these words conjure up religious images and artifacts found in churches and temples, something to gaze at but not to touch, provided for us but not created by us. If an altar instills you with peace or inspires a longing for connectivity, consider it an invitation to create your own special altar or shrine that reflects your personal callings, challenges, and passions.
In this Art Party through the process of collage and assemblage using either a Shadowbox or Hard covered Book as a jumping off point, you will create a shrine or altar. The theme or inspiration for your shrine/altar could be a god or goddess who's qualities you aspire to bring into your own life. Or you may want to honor someone or something that has been important to you and has supported you on your life journey.

Many Diverse Creative Supplies will be supplied by Rhonda ,Participants are encouraged to add their own personal touches with the suggested supply list.
Please bring an item that can be added to the Group Altar..( your item on the altar can be picked up at the end of the weekend).

Supplies List:
Glue Gun/Glue Sticks..... participants please bring
Scissors...... participants please bring
White glue.... participants please bring

Start collecting images personal photos color photocopies, magazine pictures, objects--small figurines and statues, toys, game pieces, keys, stones, twigs, feathers, embellishments--buttons, beads, ribbon, glitter, decorative papers etc. Bring stuff you like and that has personal meaning to you. You will transform your collection into a beautiful and meaningful shrine/altar.


Working with your Angels

I will help each person to communicate with their own angels and show how easy Divine Communication is in their everyday life!


BELLY DANCE... FINDING THE GODDESS WITHIN

“Located in this dance is a secret language that tells the story of women'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.

 

Tarot and Psychometry

Leeanne resides in Nanaimo and has had 25 years experience with Tarot and Psychometry readings but considers herself an eternal apprentice on the path we all share to spiritual enlightenment.

This will mainly be a time to answer questions you may have concerning many areas of the spiritual path. We will look at Tarot layouts plus talk about other ways to see through the veil.
