There is a moment in nature when the light begins to return yet nothing is rushing to open. The ground is softening, the breath deepens and life stirs quietly beneath the surface. Before the Bloom is a Spring Equinox ceremony rooted in this threshold; the pause between rest and renewal, where growth becomes possible not through force but with the natural turn of the season. 

This spacious, nourishing evening is an invitation to slow down and be held as the light finds its balance.  Together with Katie from Solstice Breathwork, we will gather online in sacred circle and be guided through a trauma-informed conscious connected breathwork journey, held softly and intentionally.

As we breathe, we will be supported with live channeled energy healing and light codes, creating a calm, regulated field for restoration and renewal. Allowing the thaw and letting your system ease open as it’s ready, the way a bud unfurls without being asked.

To close, you’ll receive channeled guidance for the Spring season ahead, gentle messages of love, encouragement and support as you move forward in your own time. Just like the earth, you are allowed to emerge slowly. Nothing needs to be rushed. Nothing needs to be proven.

Held by a mature forest in Horseshoe Valley, Returning is a three-hour immersive workshop designed to reconnect you with earth-based spiritual practices and your own intuitive wisdom.

Rooted in lineage-based European shamanism, this gathering is an accessible introduction to shamanism, different forms of shamanic healing and the practice of journey meditations. We will cover how journeying is used across traditions to access guidance, clarity and restoration. Participants will also be guided through 3 live, drum-supported shamanic journey meditations:

• a foundational shamanic journey to learn how to do safely and effectively

• a guided journey to meet a spirit animal or helping spirit 

• a final shamanic journey to ask a question for your soul and learn how to receive it's guidance

All three journey meditations are fully guided and supported by live drumming. This ceremonial drum is from Jennifer’s ancestral homelands in the Ukraine, and marks its first time being used for an in-person group. The drum will offer a deeply grounding and energetically coherent field for both healing and insight.

Whether you are brand new to this work or have journeyed before, this experience is open to all levels and held in a grounded, supportive container.

Returning is not about learning something new, it is about remembering what is already within you. Developing a deeper reconnection with yourself, the natural world and Spirit. You will leave with experiential tools you can return to as well as a clearer relationship with your own roots and inner knowing.

Held in the sacred stillness of the Little Stone Chapel, Fire & Flow is a 2 hour ceremonial experience inviting you to surrender, flow and return to your light.

Taking place alongside the first Full Moon of the astrological year, this ritual invites joy, self-expression, heart-led embodiment and a gentle release to awaken your inner fire while remaining deeply supported.

We begin in an opening circle with water drum and prayer, allowing the nervous system to settle and the body to feel safe to open. From there, we move into intuitive movement, starting with slow, grounding stretches similar to gentle yoga, and gradually unfolding into free-flowing, expressive movement and dance. While this portion may feel expansive and liberating like an ecstatic dance, it is held as a ceremonial movement practice, guided by intention and presence. 

The evening closes with a 30-minute guided meditation, where you’ll connect with the light and vitality you’ve stirred within. During this you will receive Holy Fire® Reiki with sound bowl healing from Brittany Schmidt to anchor the experience into your body and heart supporting deep energetic integration. Throughout the evening, empowering channeled messages will also be shared to support your expansion.

This ceremony is intentionally limited in size to preserve spaciousness, comfort and a sense of safety while moving. Allowing you the freedom to explore your expression. The goal is to leave feeling lighter, freer, more expansive and joyfully embodied. Rooted in your open heart and softly illuminated from within.

Beneath the surface of the New Moon, the waters grow still. This is a time to rest deeply, flow inward and return to yourself.

This isn’t just a class, it’s a sacred pause. A moment to let your body and spirit return to stillness while overlooking the calming waters of the Nith River.

A Sacred Weaving of Movement, Breathwork & Ancestral Connection in collaboration with Marissa Rignola.

You will be held by two Shamanic Healers in this deeply sacred online container to honour Beltane and empower our ancestral lineage. The goal is to develop a deeper connection to your ancestors and reclaim the medicine you carry.

Throughout the evening you will be guided through a gentle movement practice leading into a conscious connected breathwork ceremony with energetic healing. We will also make space to receive channeled messages from Spirit that continue to support you and surround you with the love of your ancestors beyond the veil.
