Our Workshops

From Sensitivity to Strength
Mental Health Minus the Labels

Facilitators Sara N. and Monica W., invite you to consider the idea that what can often be labelled as mental illness or mental health challenges may instead be an inability to adjust to situations that feel unnatural to us or are traumatizing, excessively stressful or overwhelming.

During this engaging 1.5 hour session, we will explore mental health through the lens of Peer Support, featuring a screening of the trailer for Crooked Beauty. This powerful documentary offers a unique and empowering perspective on what society often labels as mental illness.

We will discuss how Peer Support, unlike conventional mental health approaches, aligns with the themes of the film, offering new insights into personal and societal challenges.

This group provides an opportunity to explore how Peer Support – and Stress Recovery Coach – can enhance wellbeing, aid in stress management and support participant’s mental health.

Join us for an insightful conversation to discover the transformative power of Peer Support.

A Remedy for Mental Distress?

Sara N., leads this engaging and exploratory workshop.  

When Sara discovered breathwork through her introduction to Pranayama (Yogic breathing), she experienced its remarkable ability to bring clarity and calmness.  She quickly realized its potential — not only as a spiritual practice but also as a remedy for mental distress.

This certificate course provides participants with a foundational understanding of breathwork, qualifying them to advance to our higher-level breathwork workshops. 

Join Sara as she guides you through the basics of breathwork and helps you unlock its transformative benefits.

Broken Hearted?

Join Monica W. for this 4-hour workshop where we discuss heart-based matters and the role the heart may play in our mental health. 

This informative workshop delves into the profound impact of heartbreak and how that can impact our personal mental health. This course explores how repeated emotional pain can lead to a state of disconnection, where the ability to keep our hearts open can lead to a life filled with connection.

Engaging, interactive discussions will encourage participants to explore how heartfelt experiences can impact their mental well-being. Participants will also explore their ability to be mindful to help recognize what keeps their hearts open to connection and emotional healing, rather than closed and walled off.
