SUMMARY:Introduction to Hakomi
DESCRIPTION:What is Hakomi? \n\n\n\nBeing human is complicated. We are shaped by the family that raised us as well as the society/culture and global events the family is embedded within. These influences can create habits that limit our full potential. These habits operate in the background\, unconsciously influencing how we are with others as well as with ourselves. Hakomi reveals the unconscious habits that made you who you are and can transform them into who you want to be. \n\n\n\nHakomi draws from Eastern mind-body-spirit modalities and mindfulness as well as Western psychology and Living Systems Theory. While primarily a method of psychotherapy\, Hakomi fits with many mind-body\, educational\, coaching\, and wellness modalities. If you are in the healing arts field\, interested in self-discovery or find yourself intrigued by this word\, Hakomi\, please join! \n\n\n\nThis 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\nRupesh Chhagan is a BC Licensed TCMP (Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner) and Certified Hakomi Practitioner & Teacher.

SUMMARY:CANCELLED-Summer Self-Care Intentions
DESCRIPTION:Cancelled due to lack of registrations.  \n\n\n\nAs adults\, we often hope for more from summer than we actually get. Even if we’re lucky enough to have vacation time\, the realities of our current economy and your particular family situation and responsibilities can mean that even down time isn’t as restful or as enjoyable as we want it to be. \n\n\n\nRather than getting to September and feeling disappointed about how summer turned out\, this workshop invites you to spend some time now thinking about what would make this summer delightful. Are there key places you want to spend time in\, key people you want to spend time with and key activities that fill your cup? \n\n\n\nIf we take the time to deliberately name our wants and needs for the summer and consider how to fill those needs\, you may feel pretty satisfied when September rolls around. \n\n\n\nJoin Jessica\, founder of My Inner Harbour\, for “Summer Self-Care Intentions” to help dig into what we want our summers to feel like and how we can make that happen by applying the principals of real self-care. Happening June 23rd from 6:30-8:00pm.
