Featured Article - Happy September!
Hello Everyone, and Happy September!
I'm really excited and pleased to announce some events we have coming up in the next few months and to talk about why these are especially close to my heart.
On September 20th, we are holding our yearly Immersion Retreat Day. I really love the space they have out in the fields at the Ignatius Jesuit Centre in Guelph. It's truly a beautiful setting in a beautiful building. In September, the light across the gardens and the fields glows with gold. The energy of the space is gorgeous, and it's the perfect opportunity to soak up the essence at the heart of life with others. It's a very transformational day.
In the last 25 years of working with thousands of people and their nervous systems, I've found that what makes the biggest change for someone's body and their life as a whole is if they know and have a felt sense of peace at the core of their being. This is available for everyone on a daily basis and isn't all that hard. Many people feel that at our core is something negative or something that needs to be controlled. Or they've really never thought about it before. This misunderstanding is the root of a massive amount of what we call stress and why the body might carry tension, which over time creates breakdown and pain.
When a person comes from a foundation of peace, everything in their body changes. The cells literally can relax and start renewing. We heal effortlessly. We can tap into our knowing and trust ourselves fully. We can effortlessly navigate through our day. Life becomes something you fall in love with. Without trying to. What would your life look like on a day-to-day basis if you were in love with life? Would it be much different? Deeper?
The retreat day is a wonderful opportunity to experience both mind and body resets, as it were, and to be able to go forward creating our lives fresh. Would you like to join us?We have 4 spots left!
We also have the wonderful live and ethereal music of Zac Perry. He feels the energy in the room during the bodywork and creates live, expansive, relaxing music in the moment! It's a beautiful and healing soundscape. Truly one of a kind.
Here is a short video about why I love retreat days and why they are so transformational:

Then in December, I'm speaking at the Fearless Women's Online Summit on Dec 4th about my fearless story, From Brain Injury to Bliss and Back Again: How We Are All Enlightened and Don't Know It. It's a free online event with women from around the world telling their amazing "fearless" stories. This is definitely not to be missed. More details to come.

The Immersion Retreat is a rare opportunity to pause, reconnect, and awaken to the beauty of your own existence. As Joseph Campbell said, "What we're all seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences resonate within our innermost being." This day is designed to help you feel that rapture of being alive, with effects that ripple through your life long after the retreat ends.
