The direct translation of Mi Casa es Su casa means my house is yours house. “Make yourself at home”. Within this expression, this workshop focuses on the meanings of the relation of spaces we physically inhabit both inward and outwards. We first begin by going inward to notice the way in which we “relate” see, feel, and nourish the vessel we inhabit. Observing our temple, and sanctuary in which we call our body and mind.

We can then turn outward to invite and share our experience with others and learn to relate and connect. Bringing attention to the physical spaces in which we inhabit daily. Both at home or as a guest. Creating and designing spaces that are conducive to what WE INTEND to manifest there. Whether it be for rest, work, connection or creativity.

The season has now changed into Spring and we have entered a new cycle within the equinox. Giving us the perfect time to bring awareness to our intentions for the upcoming year. Prior to manifesting, we must CREATE space both internally and externally. Taking the time to clear and cleanse away the residual clutter that we are holding in our bodies and minds, and all the spaces that surround us on a daily basis.

As a side note, I feel its more important then ever to keep connected during this time. Taking this opportunity to let each other know that we SEE, HEAR, FEEL them.

The fall is a time of transition, change, and letting go

Under a ARIES full moon on Oct 1st, I invite you to join me on a FULL MOON SENSEWALK in Mont Royal park. 

With the passionate and confident energy that a Aries moon can provide, we will walk and reflect on shredding old versions and stories of ourselves to meet and align with purpose in what we truly want. Choosing intentions, action and language that supports and connect us with our innermost visions and desires. 

We will also take focus on our relationships.  Under a polarity axis of the sun in libra, Libra representing “other” and the moon in Aries, representing “ self”, we will pause and reflect on the finding balance in our relationships to ourselves, others and everything that surrounds us.

This moon illuminates the conflict between  the “ me” and “ you” and between autonomy and sharing.  Between meeting our personal needs and that of others.

A workshop dedicated to rejuvenating the body inside and out through awareness of our senses.

 As the seasons starts to change from one to the another,  physically, mentally and emotionally we undergo changes as well.  Taking time to ground yourself and find focus in the present moment can ease with this transition.   Among the hustle and bustle of this urban environment, we invite you to take this opportunity to practice mindfulness of the senses. Slowing down, tuning in and observing each of the sense as it relates to ourself, others, and all that surrounds us on a daily basis. 

Learn techniques to become a better witness, Not only to yourself but to the people you cross paths with on the streets,  the spaces that you encompass, the sounds , the textures, the light, the shadows,  the patterns, the inhales and the exhales. Without labeling, simply noticing.  Stimulating your senses to live a fuller, authentic expression of yourself.

This exploration begins with you. Starting each adventure with the mindful methods of meditation and yoga.  Giving you a chance to be still to find your roots and get grounded.   After this, it’s time to look around, listen, feel and experience life as it happens. 

After, we will find movement through a asana practice as I guide you through a Vinyasa flow with a focus on balance , grounding and stability. 

Immediately following this, we will focus on the healing aspects of touch. Jennifer will demonstrate the Ayurvedic Abhyanga self-massage technique., to calm and soothe the nervous system , revitalizing and re -nourishing the skin through the harshest seasons. 

At the end of all this, I invite you to my table to gather as a community,  to enjoy a meal, bringing a focus to our sense of smell & taste and share your thoughts over a culinary experience of healthy seasonal superfoods and drinks. There will be two special quests at the table to share their knowledge and experience. Marie-Claude, a food educator, and Kim Parenteau, a Ayurvedic practitioner. Both will share their passion for wellbeing and a healthy lifestyle.
