Reclaiming Our Spiritual Connection

This workshop will have a series of topics presented that offer gifts unique to the specific participants including the time and opportunity to participate in experiential learning with each topic. Enhancing the wisdom of women inherently present empowers women, including elder women to present topics about traditional teachings of our roles in society as mothers, women, partners, and elders, including traditions, ceremonies and celebration and the importance of incorporating the cultural teachings into our current modern lives, to continue the integrity, spirit and wisdom of our ancestors.

Reclaiming Wellness - Introduction to Healing

As individuals, each one of us is giving of ourselves, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. When we do not take the time to replenish, rejuvenate, and revive ourselves, the work we put out daily begins to take a toll. Noticeably vicarious trauma may manifest including diseases, chronic illness, emotional and mental health challenges, mood disorders, increased illness, etc. often noticeable to others even if not to ourselves affecting not only us as individuals but for us as caregivers, family members, co-workers and specifically our efficacy as healers in the workplace. Therefore even more important than the work we provide we need to do our own work, walk the talk and take care of number one first and foremost before we can support others on their healing journeys. This 5-day journey begins with an intensive personal development tune-up mentally and emotionally, exploring our own histories, examining where we are currently in our life and work, and recognizing the self-imposed limitations we indulge in without conscious awareness. Furthermore, the 5-day journey will allow us to recognize how to shift the decisions we make which do not serve us very well and open our awareness to new insight, inspiration and intention beyond our limited beliefs while providing tools, holistic experiential learning and opportunities to enhance each individual’s diverse skills. Finally, we will discover our abilities to be healed and as healers by incorporating spiritual teachings and shamanic techniques of our ancestors to contribute to Universal healing for all. Many individuals have been taught alternative healing techniques without recognizing this wisdom from the past, therefore, individuals will be respected for the experience they bring to the group and will be nurtured, challenged, supported and stimulated rekindling viewing themselves as a priority, then sharing their gifts with others.

Grief and Loss – Looking Forward Next Steps

This 3-day empowering workshop offers an opportunity to identify healing processes after experiencing grief and loss. Everyone experiences grief, loss and sorrow at some time in their life. The emotions can be enormous after experiencing losing a relationship with someone who has been a part of our life or after losing a connection to ourselves. Creating the space to process, offering strategies to cope while moving forward rather than remaining stuck sometimes requires a pathway. Regret keeps us anchored to the past, by refocusing our awareness we are able to process the grief. Empowerment is creating opportunities to learn how to embrace life with an alternate perspective, self-care and setting an intention for a more optimistic future. Beginnings and endings are a normal element of our life cycle and occasionally we need assistance in navigating.

Youth Empowerment!

Further linking the traditional, spiritual teachings for their toolbox for life prepares the youth to live at their highest potential with pride in their identity.

Therefore, it is vitally important to do our own healing work, walk the talk, and take care of number one first and foremost before we can effectively support others on their healing journeys. This 5-day journey begins with an intensive personal development tune-up, exploring our own histories, examining where we are currently in our life and work, and recognizing the self-imposed limitations we indulge in without conscious awareness.
