The word "somatic" can be applied to movement, counselling, and other therapeutic practices. This workshop will provide education on what connects these practices together, and will explore how to use a somatic perspective in your own life practice. The workshop will be completed with a somatic movement practice that will help you let go of tension in the body and mind, and leave you feeling restored.
Yoga became a key part of Erin’s life when she was 13 years old, struggling to manage the pressure of performing above and beyond in every aspect of her life.
The mat became her safe space to heal and honor how she felt over how she performed.
Informed by her experience as a personal trainer, and almost 10 years of teaching yoga, her classes invite the student into a practice of curiosity.
Students can expect mindful movements with great detail to form and intention, a nurturing space to honor their body over anything else, and a connection to core, whether it’s through simple breath work or fiery core work, depending on the class style.
Come ready to feel, and receive permission to be exactly as you are.

You’re invited to this unique 90-minute sound bath to slow down, rest, and receive healing vibrations while immersing into a soundscape of Symphonic Gongs, Crystal Singing Bowls, Tibetan Singing Bowls, Ocean Drum, Harmonium with vocal over toning, and more.
Using the full spectrum of sound and vibration, the brainwaves slow down to cause an involuntary state of deep meditation, which allows the nervous system to reset & the body to go through several self-healing processes
Carolyn guides the entire workshop experience with openness and many options for each individual.
Over 90 minutes, there will be pockets of time spent journaling, in quiet contemplation, practicing different types of soothing and energizing Breathwork, crystal bowl meditations and sharing. We gently build towards an Active Breathwork Meditation (similar to Holotropic / Wim Hof). If it's your first time, you will be encouraged to go slow and keep it light.
BRING: a notebook and pen, extra sweater, mat & blanket, water bottle.

Learning to channel Reiki is a beautiful gift to yourself and others. Reiki can improve physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. It is centering and grounding and connects us to Universal Source Energy, to ourselves and others. The word Reiki is Japanese – directly translated, it means “spiritual energy”. Similar to prana (Sanskrit) and chi (Chinese), Reiki is the energy that animates the universe. It is benevolent and expansive, and has the power to transform your life and the lives of others making it easier to live the life you have always dreamed of.
Through specific attunement processes, a special link between the recipient and Reiki source is created. Combining this link with teachings and practice in class, each Reiki level can be effectively taught in a short amount of time.
Level 1 primarily focuses on supporting physical health for yourself, friends and family. Becoming attuned to Reiki and working with energy systems improves physical health, which leads to better mental, emotional and spiritual health. It is a perfect introduction to energy healing and can be a wonderful support to living a happier life.
This Reiki Level 1 class will include:
Reiki 1 Attunements
Reiki history, philosophy and ethics
The 5 Reiki Precepts, 5 Characteristics of the Reiki System
Basic Philosophical Principles of Reiki and its 3 Pillars
A brief review of your energy systems, (Chakras, Aura, Clair senses)
Breathing techniques to enhance Reiki flow
Sensing energy and clearing your energy field
Boysen – scanning the energy body of others
Standard hand positions and protocol for giving self-treatment and offering Reiki to friends and family
Other uses for Reiki
Level 2 consists of expanding our learning to encompass Mental/Emotional treatments for ourselves and others. This brings more peace and helps us move past limiting beliefs and habits that keep us stuck. We learn more about non-duality – our connection to each other, and by connecting to our hearts and using Reiki symbols that we learn at this level, we are able to send distance healing.
Level 3/ “Master” level brings us to the Spiritual plain. This is soul healing. You learn how to heal at a cellular level. It is also the pre-requisite for teaching Reiki.
I am so pleased to be sharing the gift of Reiki with you. I have been a certified Reiki practitioner and Energy healer for many years. I studied Usui Reiki, Kundalini Reiki and graduated from an eight month Energy Healing for Professional Practice course through the West Coast Reiki Centre, Psychic Reiki at Hands on Heart Reiki and am registered with the Canadian Reiki Association. My teachers, and therefore I, have a long Reiki Lineage, both purely Japanese and also from a branch of Western teachings. I have had the honour of channeling healing energy to people in many places in the world, both in person and by distance healing. Some of my most gratifying work has been working with seniors and volunteering on the Downtown East Side. My personal journey with Energy began as a child. I have always been very open and sensitive to energy but until my 30s really didn’t understand it and therefore, had no energetic boundaries. Working in education and supporting a parent with Alzheimer’s, I became very overwhelmed to the point of collapse. This is when I began exploring energy work. I found that Reiki helped increase my vitality physically, emotionally, and spiritually and has since connected me to my purpose. I enjoy working with people individually and in groups. I am now also a Psychic and Medium, a Past Life Regression facilitator and love leading Psychic development groups. I have learned a lot about energetic boundaries and love helping people understand, establish and maintain them. Having some experience with personal trauma, I approach all interactions from a soul level with a trauma-based perspective and no judgement, only love. I believe that it is important to witness people and meet them where ever they are on their soul’s journey at that moment. We are all connected, and through compassion and love we can all be raised up.
