✨ Wednesday Wisdom | Senior Yogi Series
with Sr. Judi Rich, Calgary ✨
As winter approaches, Sr. Judi invites us to pause and listen. Nature shows us that letting go isn’t loss but preparation. Just as trees release their leaves in trust, we too can practice a conscious release of old ideas, beliefs, and attitudes that no longer uplift us.
Letting go can be a soft exhale—an inner reset, creating space for renewal, clarity, and peace.
🍁✨ Om Shanti ✨🍁

❄️🤍 Snow day in Peace Village 🤍❄️
Stillness everywhere — the pond, the mountains, the air.
A soft white light, clean and quiet, outside and inside.
Just presence. Nothing more.

✨ What a heart-warming and joy-filled celebration we had at Peace Village!
The whole house was glowing with 🕊️ peace, ❤️ love, and 💡 light as we painted virtues on rocks 🎨, tended the Karma Garden 🌱, met the Three Wise Men 👑👑👑, experienced our authentic self through spiritual selfies 📸✨, and felt the comfort of belonging in God’s heart 💖. We gathered in the Inspiration Hall for soulful music 🎶, a cozy fireside chat 🔥, reflections ✨, deep meditation with Sr. Kala 🧘‍♀️, and a beautiful candle-lighting moment 🕯️ — all followed by a delicious dinner 🍽️ shared with our spiritual family 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦.
Thank you to everyone who joined and made the evening so uplifting 🌟 May we continue lighting up hearts and homes with peace, hope & love this season and always! 💫💖

✨ Where there’s a blessing, even the toughest challenges turn to calm. ✨

Life can sometimes feel like a storm 🌪️ — heated, overwhelming, or challenging. But even in the hardest moments, the simple act of sending or receiving a pure blessing 💖 can transform the situation. Like water cooling fire 🔥💧, blessings bring peace, clarity, and calm to our hearts and minds.

Take a moment today to bless someone — or yourself — and watch how the energy shifts. 🕊️💫 Peace grows, tensions soften, and light flows where there was once heaviness. 🌸✨

Beauty in the Moment ✨🍁
Morning fog rests over the pond…
Trees stand in effortless silence…
The pathways invite us to pause and breathe. 🤍
At Peace Village, nature becomes a living meditation —
a reminder that peace is not somewhere we go,
but a presence we meet here and now. 🌿
Every step… every breath…
a soft conversation with the Divine.

Wednesday Wisdom | Senior Yogis Series
✨ Reflection by Sr. Yolanda ✨
At Peace Village, Sr. Yolanda reminds us that life is constant spiritual training.
Each moment — even the challenging ones — helps lift the veil that covers our inner clarity.
Freedom isn’t just stillness; it’s the soul learning to rise, to see truth, and to walk forward with dignity.
When we stop judging ourselves, growth becomes natural.
Every step becomes a step toward freedom. 🌿

✨ Grateful Hearts at Peace Village ✨
Hearing reflections from Simi Aurora and Gurpreet, our beautiful couple from Long Island, New York, fills us with so much joy. For almost 10 years, Simi has returned to Peace Village to reconnect, realign, and rise higher—this time through our retreat, “The Fire Within.”
Their experience of gaining new tools, emotional clarity, and deeper spiritual strength reminds us why this space exists. Thank you both for your trust and presence. 🌿💛

✨ Reflections from the Heart ✨
We’re deeply touched by these beautiful words shared by Nora, a resident and instrument from the Calgary Center, who recently spent time with us here at Peace Village.
“This is such a beautiful space — very welcoming even for those new to meditation or spirituality. The vibrations here are something you have to experience. The environment, the residents, and their gentle hospitality have all deeply touched me. It’s nothing like any place you’ve ever been before.” 🌿
Thank you, Nora, for your open heart and for sharing your light with our community. 💛
Peace Village is more than a place — it’s a living experience of peace, simplicity, and shared humanity.
🕊️ Come experience it for yourself — maybe on one of our weekend retreats.
