Digging deep and raising taller!
Juliette Angelhart Zedda, Florian Boulais, Katrine Frese and Jen Massie welcome you to a weekend of learning, practice and self-care to bring joy, fullfilment and community to grow.
Their curiosity and research constantly explore new ideas around creativity and the brain, personality, behaviour, body work, spirituality, communication, leadership, plant medicine, citizen agency, globalism, the survival of bodily death, and more.
Collaboratively, we will create a space that nurtures an interpersonal connection where the ability to be authentic, is met with integrity, compassion, and the enthusiasm to move towards your full potential. We will be using Nature’s rhythms and their momentum to reconnect with your well-being:
- Connecting with your inner alignment
- Identifying patterns and be able to let them go as they do not serve you well
- Acknowledging what the negative aspects of our life have brought in terms of positive
- Viewing yourself as if you were looking at a friend
- Finding the courage to envision new beginnings
- Flying strong in workplace and family and recreation
The food provided, the venue and the landscape will support the process and catalyze your experience.
The retreat starts Saturday, October 21 at 9 a.m. and will close on Sunday, October 22 around 3:30 p.m. See the schedule for more details.
Your Hosts
Juliette Angelhart Zedda
Counsellor, Coach, Supervisor, Facilitator, Psychosomatic & Expressive Arts therapist, Yoga teacher. She will meet you where you are. A real treat to work with her.
Juliette sees humans for who they are, including all the dimensions of our beings: cognitive, emotional, somatic, interpersonal, moral and spiritual and she deeply rejoices in the presence of socio-cultural and ethnic differences. We all have shadows and blindspots, animal instincts and drives, attachment to our sense of self (ego) and to our personal expectations and we are also made up of amazing divine gifts and wonderful loving capacities. Juliette believes that each one of us is on a journey of recovery, healing, repairing, growing and learning how to manifest authentically and creatively. She also believes that the individual personal work we do directly impacts those around us and our society at large. In order to find health, we have to connect with our families, neighbours and communities and to start deeply honouring our land, resources and all sentient beings. Juliette welcomes all of you who are ready to make deep and lasting changes in your life to find new relationships, skills, meaning and fulfillment. As she puts it: S/HE + THEY = WE
Katrine Frese
Facilitator, Trainer, Educator, Researcher, Geologist, Consultant. Gifted with natural curiosity and intelligence, Katrine’s calling is connecting people and facilitating meaning-making relations. She is driven and dedicated to the people and projects that make herself and her community better. After spending her life on various continents, Katrine is a newcomer to Canada and has lived, loved, laughed, worked and played in the Yukon for the last 15 years. Katrine loves the movement as well as stillness. Since a very young age, she was drawn to yoga as a way to calm her mind and connect to and embody the animal world. At the same time, not many days passed without a pencil in her hand creating, analyzing, calculating. If there was a slogan that expresses her philosophy best this would be ‘The only thing I know is that I don’t know.’ She is a lifelong learner and has changed life multiple times, always looking for more truth and peace.
Jen Massie
