Seasonal Workshops - Exploring Women's Gifts

These women's workshops are run annually, and are designed to move in tandem with the flow of the five seasons (with traditional autumn is broken into "Harvest" and "Fall" in alignment with Chinese medicine). With each season comes a unique energy and focus. Working on our personal awareness and healing journeys in harmony with natural cycles allows us to go deeper into our explorations, in connection with the external world.

Each workshop is a complete experience in itself. The Inner Wilderness Explorer package involves all 5 workshops (at a 15% discount of the full price of attending each workshop separately. E.g., the sliding scale becomes $255-360/weekend).

Depending on enrolment, Early and Late Fall workshops are sometimes combined into a one-weekend experience (at the price of a single weekend).

Please contact Kate if you are interested in hosting a seasonal workshop for the women in your community.

FALL

Feeding the Soil & Releasing What We No Longer Need

This session is about working to let go of anything we’re ready to shed for the purposes of growth and renewal.  Just as the winds of fall bring a change of energy to the world around us—in these parts we see leaves turning brilliant colours before the tree releases them to the ground—we too respond to the moving of the seasons, as reflected by our inner natures. Like the trees and those leaves—we will come to recognize the beauty of our lessons, before letting die what no longer serves us.

We come together to lighten our hearts, so that in a few weeks when the snow falls gently down to cover the earth, we are ready to let new seeds germinate, nourished by the wonderful “compost” of the previous season.

Experience supported sharing, song, body movement, and art creation in a beautiful environment.

Dates: TBD November 2022

Location: TBD Southern Ontario

Cost: $300-425 sliding scale (includes materials, accommodations, coffee & tea and most meals). Please pay what feels both generous and affordable to you.
