Yoga for Sleep
with Richard Hudspith
Sunday, March 4th
1:30 PM - 4:00 PM
Do you have trouble sleeping well at night?
Do you toss and turn and miss out on a sound sleep that you know would do wonders for your body?
Does your body feel stiff and sore because you are not getting the right amount of sleep and do your muscles feel tired because they work all day long and never get the chance to relax?
If you answered YES to any of these questions, let Richard guide you through this experiential workshop.
The focus will be: increasing body flexibility, enhancing the alignment of the spine, and calming the nervous system before going to sleep.
The yoga postures taught in this course will help reduce the discomfort of sore, tired and aching muscles and provide for a restful night of sleep. The added benefit of these postures is that you can use them in the morning to help energize the body.
You will also learn what happens to your muscles when you become stressed and how to return to a relaxed state of body and mind.
Cost: $35.00 per person. Register early to ensure space.

FREE Introduction to Living Your Purpose with Richard Hudspith ~ Thursday, March 1st, 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM ~ What do you really want to create in your Life? Are you on the path to realize your full potential? 6 week series begins Thursday, March 8th.
FREE Introduction to Living Your Purpose
with Richard Hudspith
Thursday, March 1st
4:30 PM - 5:30 PM
What do you really want to create in your Life?
Are you on the path to realize your full potential?
This course is about living an authentic and purposeful life. If you are passionate about your life and want more from it or perhaps you feel stuck and are not sure where to turn; then this course will help get you there.
We start by writing a Provocative Possibility Statement where you declare your most incredible self! Through examining your values, intentions and how you put them into practice, you design a life where your actions really match your value system and ideals. The course will conclude with the design and creation of your personal Vision Board to complement the Provocative Possibility Statement.
Throughout the course, you will track your progress in a daily journal and record your successes, insights and learning opportunities.
Classes will consist of group discussion and sharing along with time for personal reflection. Each class will build upon the previous week’s work.
Testimonials from previous series:
“If you are committed to grow and stretch emotionally and spiritually; If you are ready to open yourself up to positive change and transformation on your life's journey; If you are honest with yourself to answer meaningful and gut-wrenching questions; If you want to meet and share with kindred spirits then I would highly recommend you take this course. You might be surprised with whom you cross paths, what knowledge comes up from within you and what wisdom you encounter.”
"The Living Your Purpose class provided a wonderful opportunity to explore one’s purpose in life in an honest, challenging and unique way. The most valuable part of the class was that Richard challenged our ingrained habits in a compassionate manner, The course inspired me to make time for myself to explore why I’m on this planet and to really begin digging into my life’s purpose."
FREE Introductory Class - Thursday, March 1st
6 Week Series begins Thursdays, March 8th to April 12th
Cost: $90.00 per person for the 6 week series. Drop-Ins are welcome to come and try the class for $20.00 per person.

Create Your Personal Vision Board with Jennifer Stackhouse ~ Saturday, February 25th, 1:00 PM - 4:30 PM ~ The Law of Attraction (The Secret) says you increase your chances of attracting to you whatever it is you are focusing on.

Create Your Personal Vision Board
with Jennifer Stackhouse
Saturday, February 25th
1:00 PM - 4:30 PM
Enjoy an afternoon with Jen Stackhouse, tea and treats, arts and crafts, new friendships and new beginnings!
The Law of Attraction (The Secret) says you increase your chances of attracting to you whatever it is you are focusing on. Use the power of the Vision Board to tap into your subconscious and attract what's in your highest good.
It is really important when creating a vision board that you not only create it, but use it. A vision board is a tool to help you create a matching vibration to what it is you want to have/be or do in your life and in your world.
At the start of this workshop we will do a chakra balancing meditation to tap into all the aspects of life we need to incorporate in our vision boards. We will sit quietly and set the intent. With kindness and openness, you will ask yourself what it is you want to manifest into your life. Maybe one word will be the answer. Maybe images will come into your mind. Taking a few moments to be and meditate with your your intentions, this process makes it a deeper experience. It gives a chance for your ego to step aside so that you can clearly create your vision.
Bristol board, glue, tape, and all the crafty things will be supplied for you. Please bring any pictures, inspiring magazines, or any treasures you would like to add to your visions board. This is sure to be a fun, relaxing and creative time together.
Cost: $40.00 per person which includes all supplies.
