SUMMARY:The Cozy Corner Reading Club
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to The Cozy Corner Reading Club. \n\n\n\nA quiet space to rest\, read and restore – together.  \n\n\n\nIn a wold that constantly demands our attention\, screens and energy\, finding a moment of true quiet can feel impossible. The Cozy Corner Reading Club is an intentional invitation to slow down\, put your devices away and reclaim your time through the gentle act of reading.  \n\n\n\nThis is not your typical book club. There is no assigned homework\, no reading deadlines\, and absolutely no pressure to perform. This is a low-key\, welcoming space designed entirely around self-care\, comfort and self-compassion.  \n\n\n\nHow it works: \n\n\n\nBring your own book: Read whatever brings you joy. Any genre\, all books are welcome.  \n\n\n\nParallel rest: We gather to read together quietly. There is a magic in sharing a peaceful space with others\, even when we aren’t reading the very same story.  \n\n\n\nGentle connection: We can leave space for soft\, low-pressure conversation\, a warm drink and small momments of community and sharing for those who wish to take part.  \n\n\n\nCome exactly as you are. Wear your comfy clothes\, bring your favorite blanket and give yourself permission to simply be. This is your monthly sanctuary to unplug from the noise and fill your own cup. \n\n\n\nReading Club meeting dates: \n\n\n\nOctober 23/ November 27/ December 18/January 29

SUMMARY:CANCELLED-Lament & Protest
DESCRIPTION:This event is cancelled due to lack of registrations.  \n\n\n\nTo lament is to express sorrow\, mourning or regret often aloud or in a demonstrative way. To protest is to express disapproval or object strongly\, often to a specific idea or course of action. In a world of toxic positivity and grief illiteracy we often don’t have anywhere to mourn collectively and bear witness to each other.  \n\n\n\nUsing a variety of expressive art mediums\, poetry and journalling prompts\, join Jessica for an evening of communal lament and protest. Whether it’s a personal loss\, post-election heaviness\, pain we witness in our own community or the ongoing tragedies around the world\, our grief wants to be acknowledged and expressed.We’ll spend time individually engaging in whatever mediums feel best and then coming together to debrief. \n\n\n\nReal self-care involves being honest about where we’re experiencing grief and being proactive about caring for our despair/hopelessness/overwhelm/anger/fear/etc. If you need a night to sit with the grief and feel less alone with whatever you’re carrying\, this is for you.

SUMMARY:Being There Without Burning Out
DESCRIPTION:The Mindful Art of Presence\, Self-Regulation\, and Deep Healing: An Experiential Workshop in Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychology\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

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\nNovember 20/December 11/January 22 \n\n\n\nIf you paid for the full series in October\, you do not need to purchase another ticket. If you did not pay for the full series\, please purchase a drop-in ticket for the dates you want to attend.

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\nDecember 11/January 22 \n\n\n\nIf you paid for the full series in October\, you do not need to purchase another ticket. If you did not pay for the full series\, please purchase a drop-in ticket for the dates you want to attend.
