Couples Workshop
Friday, June 13 from 6pm to 9pm
Saturday, June 14 from 10am to 5pm
Location: 6993 Churchill Dr, Halifax NS
Want to learn some skills to be more relational with your partner?
Understand what makes it difficult to connect and feel seen?
How to get more of what you want?
My husband and I have been blossoming as a couple ever since we started studying Terry Real’s Relational Life Therapy and Richard Schwartz’ Internal Family Systems five years ago. The result: flowing love and intimacy. We have learned how to come from our Wise Adult Self when we try to understand one another, rather than from a place of threat and defensiveness.
In this workshop, we will connect more deeply to ourselves and what we long for in relationships. Then we are learning about some concepts from RLT and IFS that help us understand the dynamic, such as loosing strategies and the Relationship Grid. We will be practicing skills, such as the Feedback Wheel that will help us remember love when we are giving feedback. All of this will help us connect more deeply to our nervous systems, which in turn will help us speak for our adaptive parts rather than from them.
We looking for just four couples to do this pilot workshop with us, in the comfort of our living room. Lunch and snacks will be served. In the future, we would like to offer this workshop in a bigger context.
We are asking for $350 per couple.

Spiritual Processing Group
A lot of us are feeling the call to be more connected to ourselves and the universe, the One, the Divine, or God, the Goddess, the Sacred Feminine and Masculine, whatever you want to call it.
Often churches are not quite the places where we get our spiritual needs met. We may have started meditating, do Breathwork sessions and Ecstatic Dance, we may do Yoga and Float, cold dips, sauna etc. You may also use Psychedelic Medicines so gain more insight into the nature of reality and release from your psychological blocks.
How do you make sense of the experiences you gain from these experiences? Where is the community where you can be known and supported in your quest?
I hear you.
I am envisioning a group of eight that meets in person every two weeks to do some practices together, have some experiences together and also process what we are doing, integrate our experience. I will offer guided mediations, some psycho-education, sharing circles and visualizations. I will also invite some guest practitioners to lead us through various practices, such as breath work, energy clearing, Gene Keys, for example.
The group will meet biweekly from April 3 until June 25 on Thursday evenings. Along with biweekly sessions, we will also plan a weekend getaway together.
We will also have a chat group, where we can share in between.
The cost is on a pay what you can basis. I am not offering this as claimable on your insurance. This is more an investment in yourself. I suggest that the rate would be $40 to $120 per month.
If you are interested, even if you don’t want to commit yet, please fill out the form below. Once I know who is interested and what their practices are, I will get in touch with you for a chat. I am so excited for this!
