UNFOLD - unfurl, expand, blossom

Sunday, March 22 was an amazing day filled with celebration as SANCTUARY started the new seasonal year together with the Spring Equinox Gathering.

We caught up on the last few months before yoga as the first offering by .shyogatherapy. As always, lunch is as important a time to connect as are our formal offerings. Then we did an awareness practice followed by flower crowns (how better to bring in the spring!) with . We ended our time together after tea/coffee with , bringing the spiritual into our business & personal lives.

SACRED CEREMONY DAY RETREAT
I am honored to be hosting a special gathering on Sunday, May 24 (outside of SANCTUARY) and there are currently only 4 spots left with the early bird price ending TOMORROW, Tuesday, March 31.

Scroll back for all the details and to meet the extraordinary women who will share their offerings & heart that day. If something inside of you feels like you should join us (even if you don't quite understand why), today's post gives you a small glimpse of what the Sacred Ceremony Day Retreat will look like (including my dogs Izzy & Hunter, minus the flower crowns!).

NATALIE REIMER ANDERSON IS THE KEYNOTE SPEAKER AT SACRED CEREMONY DAY RETREAT

With 20 years experience coaching and mentoring women of all ages, Natalie serves as quantum cheerleader who holds her sisters in the highest vision of what they truly are in their highest expression until they rise to meet themselves there. She marks these shifts with simple yet powerful ceremony and celebration that anchors the transformation into cellular memory.

Working with the generative frequencies of thought, word and belief, Natalie gently uncovers the necessary shifts in perception of the stories and themes of one’s life that are the foundation of how they have shaped their identity and helps to re-imagine the story so they can live a new reality into being. 

She operates on the premise that "we are more than we perceive ourselves to be" and once we remember the truth of our power which comes from Source, then we can connect with, trust and surrender to The Divine Will to guide our journey in the full remembrance of who, what and whose we are. This is when we begin to truly live. 

Above the entry to the ancient mystery schools were written the words: "KNOW THYSELF". This offering is part workshop, part ceremony and a completely interactive and transformational journey to deeper gnosis, or "self knowledge". 

Through storytelling and well-crafted intra-personal inspection exercises, we will look at all the ways we have created masks, the inner surveillance state and survival adaptations in a world that requires our subservience to external authority over our authenticity to what we truly are.

The Sacred Ceremony Day Retreat is open to women (18+). The early bird investment for the day is $157.50 ($150+GST) - April 1 it goes to $178.50 ($175+GST).

Space is limited so sign up early to avoid disappointment. Reserve your spot at:

LADAWN INSULL - HATHA YOGA AT THE SACRED CEREMONY DAY RETREAT

LaDawn's journey through life has seen travel around the world; settling to work & grow her business; and, most recently, a deep dive into her internal workings & spiritual path - all things that have brought her home to herself, in her body, mind & heart. A life-long learner wanting to expand her horizons on all levels, she brings her authentic self with a wide-open heart to her offerings.

LaDawn earned her yoga instructor certification in 2014 (MFC) and has been teaching yoga ever since, opening become-yoga in 2016.  Her experience varies from teen classes to seniors; hatha flow to power. She added the boutique to the studio in 2019 and you can find her at many local markets selling the jewellery that she handmakes.  She finished her Reiki training in 2024, becoming a Reiki Master & Instructor for both people & animals. Reiki is a perfect compliment to her offerings in yoga and crystals. She is currently completing her 200-hour Yoga Teaching Training (CYA) with Barrie Risman which finishes in April in Montreal, QC as well as Aerial Yoga Training with Kim Mayuk in June in Estevan, SK.

LaDawn, along with her Australian Labradoodles Izzy & Hunter, are excited to welcome you to their intimate home yoga studio for the Sacred Ceremony Day Retreat! She makes the soup & salad lunch herself with lots of love, as well as the afternoon snack (and you'll receive all the recipes yet too!).

The Hatha Yoga class at the Sacred Ceremony Day Retreat is open to all levels. Yoga unites the body, mind & heart and this practice will include gentle asana (movement) and calming pranayama (breathwork) leading into Laura's Awareness Practice.

The Sacred Ceremony Day Retreat is open to women (18+). The early bird investment for the day is $157.50 ($150+GST) - April 1 it goes to $178.50 ($175+GST).

LAURA THIESSEN - AWARENESS PRACTICE AT THE SACRED CEREMONY DAY RETREAT

Laura is a seeker. Since childhood she has been magnetized by truth and beauty, and been drawn to deeper waters of spiritual understanding and self discovery. Whatever she has done in life, she has pursued with intense curiosity and a yearning for oneness with the Creator.

Laura’s path has included marriage, moving, faith deconstruction and reconstruction, parenting, homeschooling, teaching, studying literature and philosophy, homesteading, art and photography, owning a business, and Wisdom work - with lots of reflection and therapy mixed in.

Currently, Laura spends her mornings at home with her family and her afternoons running Earth Buds Florist in Winkler, which she owns with her best friend Rochelle. She loves to share everything she learns with other curious seekers.

Wisdom is not knowing more, but knowing with more of yourself. The Awareness practice Laura will guide us through helps us know with all three centres of awareness engaged. Awareness practice brings our bodies into energetic alignment with the Divine, by creating an open and cyclical flow of energy using our mind, body, and soul with intention, and attention.

The Sacred Ceremony Day Retreat is open to women (18+). The early bird investment for the day is $157.50 ($150+GST) - April 1 it goes to $178.50 ($175+GST).

SWATI GAUR - SOUND JOURNEY AT THE SACRED CEREMONY DAY RETREAT

Swati is a certified yoga instructor and sound healing practitioner whose work is deeply rooted in the traditional teachings of yoga and Himalayan sound therapy.

Her journey began in India, where she was immersed in the philosophy of yoga as a way of life—beyond movement, as a path toward balance of the mind, body, and inner self. After moving to Canada and navigating the fast pace and demands of modern life, she found herself returning to these ancient practices as a way to reconnect, heal, and create inner stillness.

Swati has since trained in sound healing with a focus on Himalayan Tibetan singing bowls, integrating traditional vibrational techniques with intuitive energy work. Her approach is both grounded in ancient wisdom and adapted to modern lifestyles, creating a space where individuals can slow down and experience deep restoration.

Through her sessions, she offers more than relaxation—her intention is to guide individuals toward a state of inner balance, awareness, and alignment, where true healing begins from within.

The Sacred Ceremony Day Retreat is open to women (18+). The early bird investment for the day is $157.50 ($150+GST) - April 1 it goes to $178.50 ($175+GST).

It's time for my yearly post and, as it was for my original post 6 years ago, we actually have it on Friday the 13th once again!

The world as we knew it ceased to be as COVID brought 'normal' life to an abrupt halt. My own world had come to its own abrupt halt with Rob's death 4.5 months prior so I'm sure the announcement felt a bit different for me. Everything was stripped away - my husband & marriage, my job as a substitute teacher and having to close the public studio space as become-yoga was put on pause.

It was Izzy & me navigating an entirely new world. We packed up the studio and the home we had shared with Rob and prepared to move into our new home with the basement studio, Hunter joining us a few days after we moved.

Life was much quieter in those 9 months before we moved (our own little pregnancy). We biked over daily to see the progress made as our home was built. I remember many times when Izzy would jump up on the couch and start licking my arm only for me to realize that tears were streaming down my face.

It was sacred space. Holding myself tenderly as every aspect of my life metamorphized...just as I did! The brain fog of early grief probably had no better home as every part of my life was already shifting.

Yes indeed, I've been through a lot of s**t. But it makes the best manure for the seeds of a new life to grow...the life that surrounds me right now is evidence! And it makes me wonder when the next Friday, March 13th rolls around, what will life look like then?

I recognized the mug I gifted as I opened Instagram this morning. I had given it to Rob as a gift early on and I just couldn't use it after his death. Not wanting it to simply donate them to the thrift store, I thought Jonny might like to have it.

Tears welled in the corners of my eyes as I read his post. Our marriage was a constant struggle which was probably a great shock after the fun we had dating. Jonny's Java was where we fell in love, spending countless hours, many days of each week, sipping coffee & tea, playing Qwirkle, doing book studies and puzzling. It was so much a part of our journey that we had our wedding reception there!

As I went in search of pictures from these happier times, it was a reminder that my grief has changed these past 6.5 years. I hold it differently. It was good to remember all the fun we had at Jonny's!

So today I raise my mug in salute of the dream that was Jonny's Java that opened its doors 16 years ago! Life really does happen over coffee (& tea) as their motto stated. I am so grateful for the walk down memory lane today! Thank you for sharing Jonny 🙏
