SUMMARY:Reconnecting to Life: A Weekend Retreat for Facing the Climate Emergency
DESCRIPTION:Day two of a two-day retreat with Heather Talbot and Olive Dempsey \nHow to live with the enormity and urgency of today’s intertwined crises?  \nThrough experiential practices of reflection and ritual\, we will open to the grief we carry for our planetary home\, deepen our gratitude and respect for the gifts of life\, explore ways of knowing\, and renew our connections to ourselves\, each other and all of life. Together\, we will cultivate courage and resilience for facing this moment with clarity and purpose\, and we will strengthen our commitments to bringing our unique gifts more fully into the service of life. \nThe Work that Reconnects (WTR) is an interactive and evolving group process\, first developed by Joanna Macy\, in cooperation with many colleagues\, over several decades. The WTR draws on a range of foundational teachings\, including systems thinking\, deep ecology and deep time practices\, along with wisdom traditions and a commitment to undoing oppression. \nAbout the facilitators: \nHeather and Olive have been students and facilitators of the Work that Reconnects framework for more than 15 years. Together\, they bring decades of experience in justice-oriented group process facilitation and therapeutic practice\, which they integrate into the containers they create to support meaningful and connected participant experiences. As non-Indigenous practitioners living on the territories of the Musqueam\, Tsleil-Waututh and Squamish peoples\, they are each walking a path of grounding this work in practices of decolonization. \nolivedempsey.ca \nheathertalbotcounselling.com \nLunches\, tea and coffee provided. \nBursary application: Contact Olive Dempsey at olive[at]olivedempsey[dot]ca \n*Click HERE to register for the full weekend.\nFor further information\, contact Catherine: cathh1[at]gmail[dot]com

SUMMARY:Qi Gong and Mindfulness
DESCRIPTION:Qi Gong is an ancient form of exercise that is steep in eastern philosophy of health and well-being. It emphasizes on circulation\, use of breathing\, and flow movements to help increase one’s energy. Given time and regular practice\, health benefits will be evident. \nWe are fortunate to have Yuen Hing Tse as our instructor. She has given this Qi Gong course (Wah Tor Chi Kung) over 10 years in various settings. She obtained her Master of Social work and worked in mental health services in Toronto and Vancouver; She is also a certified consultant on nutritional healing and offered her service at ‘Choices’ supermarkets in their wellness department. Drop-in participants welcome\, but please note space is limited. \nNew: For those interested\, Florence Chan is now offering ‘mindfulness’ instruction immediately following Qi Gong from 10:15am to 10:30am.
