SUMMARY:The Hearth
DESCRIPTION:The Hearth A gathering place for women who crave connection — quietly. \n\n\n\nIf you’re someone who longs to belong\, but finds most social spaces a little too loud\, a little too “on\,” a little too much — this is for you. \n\n\n\nThe Hearth is a simple\, unhurried hour where women gather without agenda. There’s tea and low-key activity options from mindful colouring to reading to gentle guided movement. There’s no mingling required\, no hot seat introductions\, no performance of any kind. \n\n\n\nJust women\, in a room together\, being exactly as they are. \n\n\n\n(Yes\, as an introvert myself\, I realize the irony of trying to rally introverts. I hope you’ll come out anyway!)  \n\n\n\nYou don’t have to talk. You don’t have to share. You only have to show up — and even that\, we’ll keep easy. \n\n\n\nThe Hearth is offered six weeks at a time\, weekly. One hour. A seat that’s always yours. \n\n\n\nFor the woman who is quietly desperate for her people — and just needed somewhere safe to find them. \n\n\n\nThis event is hosted by Julie Chapman\, a Certified Yoga Therapist\, who specializes in supporting women through life’s transitions. You can find more information about her at juliechapman.org.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nFree for members of My Inner Harbour. $30 for all 6 sessions for non-members. $10 drop-in per session.

SUMMARY:The Power of Nervous System Variability
DESCRIPTION:The problem isn’t that there isn’t enough information about regulating your nervous system.It’s that there’s too much — and none of it was written for you. \n\n\n\nYou’ve tried the hacks. Saved the reels. Read the books. Done the cold plunges. And still — it seems to work for everyone else\, but not for you. \n\n\n\nHere’s the truth: you’re not doing it wrong. You’re just working from someone else’s map. \n\n\n\nThe Power of Nervous System Variability is an in-person group class — part workshop\, part practice — designed to help you find your map. Not generic tools. Not another hack. Real exploration and guided support to discover what actually feels right in your body\, your nervous system\, your life. \n\n\n\nYou’ll leave each class with tools that work — because they were built with you\, not for the masses. \n\n\n\nSmall group classes. Your map\, not anyone else’s. \n\n\n\nWhat to expect: \n\n\n\nEach session runs 75 minutes in a small\, intentional group of ten women maximum. Every week will be led with experiential practices such as gentle movement\, breath awareness\, guided mindfulness and sensory exploration\, woven together with educationat points to make sense of what your body is telling you and empower you with the tools to find calm when anxiety runs high. \n\n\n\nYou won’t be put on the spot. You won’t be asked to share. You’ll simply be guided\, held\, and given space to notice. \n\n\n\nAll levels of ability are welcome. Please bring a yoga mat and wear comfortable clothing. \n\n\n\nFacilitated by Julie Chapman\, Certified Yoga Therapist.  \n\n\n\nPrice:Regular\, non-member ticket: $20/session.For MIH members: Receive 20% off. Email My Inner Harbour for the code. \n\n\n\nSign-up here: https://www.juliechapman.org/services.

SUMMARY:Go Deeper with Hakomi
DESCRIPTION:Do you feel like you are skimming the surface with your clients? Are you listening to them talk about the same things week after week and repeating the same unproductive habits in their life? Or are you a holistic professional (acupuncturist\, massage therapist\, etc) who feels lost when big emotions\, memories or important life themes arise as you work with the body? \n\n\n\nWhen we are mostly working cognitively (thoughts\, stories)\, we miss something crucial: the body. We are sensing\, feeling creatures long before our brain and cognition develop. And when the client is in your office talking about their experience\, instead of speaking from their experience\, we miss the state of mind that has been used for thousands of years in transformation: mindfulness. Research shows that a neutral state of self-observation creates a labile state in the normal neural circuitry–a state that allows for change. \n\n\n\nThe opposite is true as well. We can release tense muscles or use acupuncture needles to shift a pattern like stress damaging digestion\, but if we do not connect the body with mental and emotional habit patterns\, the same symptoms show up week after week. You wind up playing whack-a-mole with symptoms. \n\n\n\nThis is a FREE 2hr talk on Hakomi Mindfulness-Based Somatic Psychology\, facilitated by Rupesh Chhagan. There will be a short lecture\, experiential exercises and a demonstration. Space is limited\, so please RSVP to reserve your spot.  \n\n\n\nFor over 20 years\, Rupesh Chhagan\, TCMP\, Hakomi Practitioner/Trainer\, has been practicing holistic healthcare. For over 10 years\, Rupesh has been helping mental health practitioners and holistic professionals go deeper with their clients by using mindfulness and the body to facilitate deep transformation. \n\n\n\nMore about Rupesh here: https://www.rupeshchhagan.com \n\n\n\nPlease RSVP here!
