Workshops and Presenters

The Glorification of Busy Pam Fountas ALL/L

Our society is quick to hand out badges of honour and accolades for productivity. If what we do is never enough, where does that leave us? Overscheduled, exhausted and playing the mental tape that many of us have on repeat; “I am not enough.” BUT what if there were another way? By slowing down and creating space in our lives we can start to listen to and honour what we really need. This session promises to deliver insights and tools to help make shifts in your mindset, behaviour, and environment that will support you in creating a life that you want to show up for. Goodbye to exhaustion and the glorification of busy. Welcome energy, self worth, and a sense of ease.

Inflammation and Your Diet Brenda Riddell ALL/L

In this workshop, we will discuss certain foods and nutrients that can either promote or inhibit inflammation and discuss the potential impact on our health. Inflammation has been recognized as an indicator of illness and injury for thousands of years. It is a normal and vital part of our body’s means of self-protection, with our immune system working to heal wounds and fight infection. But sometimes the immune response process can go into overdrive, producing excessive inflammatory compounds causing diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn’s or ulcerative colitis). It’s long been thought that diet plays a role in easing symptoms of inflammation.

Losing Balance? Find Your Sway! Angela Kimmet PT/GF/B

This workshop will examine the elements of balance: physically, emotionally, financially, and spiritually to answer the question, What is BALANCE? Is it a skill? An ability? A sense?

Learn how to assess balance, challenge it, and work with imbalances to build strength, resilience and re-sponsiveness in yourself and your clients. Balance is not just an aging issue, but resonates with all abilities.
