SUMMARY:How to Say No
DESCRIPTION:How to Say No (and why you don’t): A Somatic Workshop on Setting Healthy Boundaries facilitated by Sonja Semion.  \n\n\n\nDoes saying no have to be this hard? Maybe it’s time to learn another way. \n\n\n\nSaying “no” when you mean it is vital to any relationship\, romantic\, sexual\, or platonic. But the dominant culture bypasses boundaries at every turn\, leaving us feeling as if there’s no other choice but to endure what we don’t want or risk hurting someone’s feelings. \n\n\n\nYet when we only give in to what another wants without considering our needs\, we lose access to our centre and the choice that is available there. \n\n\n\nThis workshop offers somatic practices and inquiries grounded in teachings around consent and voice. Together\, we’ll explore a framework to help you find your boundaries and name them in a low-stakes setting so you can grow more comfortable saying no when it really matters. \n\n\n\nWhat you’ll learn: \n\n\n\nHow power and relational dynamics can prevent you from fully expressing a noVerbal and nonverbal ways to say no (including some that require zero confrontation)Somatic practices to retrain a healthy fight response to better express your no and stand up for yourselfHow to receive no from another person (because let’s face it\, sometimes that is hard too) \n\n\n\nExpect a mix of teaching\, partner practice\, and solo practices. \n\n\n\nAbout me: I’m Sonja Semyonova\, a somatic intimacy educator with 20+ years of study and practice of the body\, healing\, and intimate connection. \n\n\n\nTo register please visit: https://yourbodystory.com/product/how-to-say-no/  \n\n\n\nEarly bird registration $25 until September 21. $30 after.

SUMMARY:Exploring Hakomi: For Practitioners
DESCRIPTION:Be The Practitioner Your Clients Need You To Be \n\n\n\nAre you a mental health practitioner or holistic healthcare professional who feels like you’re working too hard or even\, at times\, dysregulated when you are with clients? Research in interpersonal neurobiology and attachment shows that we affect one another at the level of the nervous system. Our nervous systems are continually responding to and influencing one another. We co-regulate. Therefore\, good therapeutic outcomes are not just about protocol or technique. Connection with the client is crucial. The quality of your presence is crucial.In this 3 hour workshop\, you will learn how to cultivate spaciousness and loving presence as a healing professional and avoid the common pitfalls of working too hard and rushing to “fix” rather than mindfully explore. Drawing on the Mindfulness-Based Somatic Psychology of Hakomi\, we will practice the Five Principles and Loving Presence. Shift from doing to being\, from fixing to exploring\, and from efforting to ease.This workshop includes lecture\, experiential and partner exercises\, giving you an opportunity to directly experience these principles in the practitioner’s seat. There will also be a live demonstration so you can witness Hakomi in action.  \n\n\n\nPlease register here.  Workshop led by Rupesh Chhagan\, a BC Licensed TCMP (Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner) and Certified Hakomi Practitioner & Trainer. More about Rupesh here: https://www.rupeshchhagan.com.

SUMMARY:After School Reading Club for Adults
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to the After School Reading Club for Adults! \n\n\n\nWant to talk about what you’re reading\, set reading goals\, celebrate reading milestones and enjoy some book-related fun such as ‘reading bingo’ and ‘bookmark confessions’? if so\, then this reading club is for you.  \n\n\n\nIn a world full of screens\, deadlines and digital noise\, the After School Reading Club for Adults is your monthly reminder to hit pause\, pick up a book (with pages!)\, and remember how much fun reading can be! \n\n\n\nThis isn’t your traditional book club. There’s no assigned homework\, no mandatory reading list. Instead\, it is a playful\, supportive community space designed to help you reconnect with the simple joy of pages\, print\, and real human connection.  \n\n\n\nWhat makes this book club different:  \n\n\n\nBring your own book. You read entirely at your own pace and choose whatever genre you like – from thrillers to sci-fi\, non-fiction to poetry.  \n\n\n\nBook related fun. There will be discussion\, there will be laughter\, and even some interactive games. Look forward to filling out custom reading bingo cards\, collecting stickers for reading progress and participating in games such as ‘bookmark confessions’ to anonymously share and laugh about some of our real-life (unique) reading habits.  \n\n\n\nA true digital detox. Leave the scrolling behind. This is a dedicated\, analog space to give your eyes and break from devises and immerse yourself in a community of fellow book lovers.  \n\n\n\nWhether you are a life-long bookworm\, or trying to get back into reading after a long break\, there is a seat at the table for you. Bring your current read and join us for the best kind of after-school activity! \n\n\n\nReading club meets:  \n\n\n\nOctober 23/November 20/December 11/January 22
