Winter’s Wisdom Mini-Ceremony with Kristen Roderick
Ceremony helps us make sense of the many changes we face in life, and when we follow the guidance of the seasons, we begin to see how the seasonal passages are mirrored within us. Winter is a time of gearing down, contemplation and rest. Winter asks us to notice what is not yet visible or obvious, and to trust a slower pace. This gorgeous mini-ceremony is a space for you to follow the wisdom of winter and bear witness to what is quietly growing in the dark.
Acupuncture with TOCA
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medical practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to balance the body's energy, or "qi." It's commonly used to alleviate pain and may stimulate nerves, muscles, and connective tissues, potentially boosting the body's natural painkillers and blood flow. Naomi is a co-owner and acupuncturist at Toronto Community Acupuncture (ToCA.) Making acupuncture widely available has been a driving force in her 25 year career in Chinese Medicine. She will be offering a simple, standardized 'tune-up' treatment. It's relaxing and regulating, and a great way to try acupuncture and/or experience the group setting for the first time.
Heart Chakra Harmony: Reiki with Julica Roberts
Take a moment to reconnect with yourself through a relaxing 15-minute Reiki session focused on the heart chakra. This practice supports relaxation, emotional balance, and self-reflection, all tailored to the theme of self-love. You’ll leave feeling refreshed, calm, and more centered. Reiki is a Japanese technique that uses light, hands-on or hands-near techniques to promote a sense of relaxation, balance, and overall well-being. It encourages the body’s natural ability to restore balance and supports a holistic approach to health.
Tarot Reading with Julianne Ess
A tarot reading provides a framework for the chaos that life presents us, and can help point us in the right direction as we navigate our complicated lives with intention and courage. Whether you're looking for help parsing out a difficult decision, the best way to prepare yourself for the year ahead, some relationship real talk, or a just general check in with the universe: All you have to do is ask.
