Relationships aren’t just a mirror, they are a portal. When we see our frustrations as doorways to a better version of ourselves, we won’t seek to avoid them. When our shit comes up, we’ll use it as fertilizer to grow and change and heal. Love is one of the greatest avenues for this — but even more deeply, I believe our phones and technology are now offering even a deeper and more frequent mirror to where we are stuck, and where we are wounded. In this session I will talk more about how to uncover what lives below our challenges, and how to implement the changes we need to go through that portal, and leave the old, outdated versions of ourselves behind.

When a man places his hands at his woman’s womb, he is returning to the hearth fire of life—where families are steadied and humanity is sustained. When a woman is held at her center, her entire system settles, restores, and opens. Come as couples to learn simple, grounded ways to hold, touch, and support your woman’s body and womb, and discover what becomes possible when she is truly met and cared for.

We live in a time when many people of European descent are waking up to but feel cut off from their indigenous, folk ancestry that suffered waves of colonization from Rome to the Holy Roman Empire, famine, disease, war upon war before washing up on the shores of what would become known as North America. There seems to be no way back to the forgotten wisdom those people held and so the only place to find it seems to be in the traditions and practices of other still intact (or more intact) indigenous peoples. In this evening, we'll be making the case that more memory survived than we've been led to believe - much of it in the form of common folk and fairy tales you likely heard as a child or watched as Disney movies. Here's the core idea of our time together: If you are willing to look at fairy tales as memory, not just metaphor, you'll get further with them. In this workshop, we'll be coming to a small portion of that cultural memory via the old Grimm's tale Briar Rose - a version of the Sleeping Beauty story that exists in many versions around the world. About Tad: Founder of Marketing for Hippies Tad is a hippy who developed a knack for marketing (and then learned how to be a hippy again). Since 2001, he’s been weaving together strands of ethical marketing, Waldorf School education, a history in the performing arts, local culture work, anti-globalization activism, an interest in his ancestral, traditional cultures, community building and supporting local economies into this work of helping people create profitable businesses that are ethically grown while restoring the beauty of the marketplace.

Land into grounded connection through Tea Ceremony - A gentle return to remembrance that we are intertwined with nature and all of life itself. Together, we will honor the ancient ritual of Tea as a vessel of wisdom and presence.This is your invitation: to listen deeply, to steep in simply being, and to come home to heart space. We will begin the morning with an exploration of Cha Dao - The Way of Tea. Chelsey will share the teachings and philosophies that shape this ancient path, offering insight into how Tea serves as both mirror and guide, encouraging us to live fully.We will then transition into Tea Ceremony, where we will steep in the embrace of Tea Herself. As Chelsey serves, we will embody the wisdom carried in Tea’s essence, resting in the peace that arises as we allow Her to integrate into our being. Tea is a plant medicine in Her own right - A teacher and a guide. There is a reason this ceremony has been practiced for hundreds of years, and why we return to Tea time and again. She is timeless, returning us to the inherent nature of who we are, by bringing us back into being. What you have been seeking has been here all along - Waiting patiently in the leaves, in the bottom of your cup. Come reclaim what you thought was lost, as Tea helps you remember. About Chelsey: Chelsey is a Tea Ceremonialist who was first introduced to Tea and Ceremony during a profound healing journey. Among many holistic practices, it was Tea that touched something deeply inherent within her - Tea Ceremony opened the way for surrender and acceptance, leading her towards Peace. Drawn to the wisdom of Tea, Chelsey began to walk the path of Cha Dao - The Way of Tea - Integrating its teachings into her daily life. Over the years, she has cultivated an intimate relationship with Tea as both Teacher and Medicine - One that is gentle, yet deeply honest. Through Tea, we experience embodied presence and connection - To meet each moment exactly as it is, without resistance or denial. In a world that urges us to move faster, strive harder, and chase more until we are left exhausted, Tea offers a different way. Through Ancestral Guidance, we are invited to slow down to experience quiet remembrance, reclamation, and returning. In this practice, silence holds meaning, and every sip becomes an offering, carrying Tea's wisdom in each cup.

We have been led astray. We have lost touch, literally and figuratively, with the language of the body. Literacy is more than just comprehension, it is based on the capacity to listen deeply. And it is without a doubt that the current systems are failing humanity. Osteopathy is a powerful and holistic approach to health that encourages healing through intentional touch and deep body awareness. This co-ed event will focus on the practice of osteopathic palpation, a technique that allows you to tune into the body's natural rhythms and uncover the root causes of discomfort or tension or emotional dysregulation. In this hands-on session, participants will learn the basics of palpation and how to use gentle touch to deeply listen. Participants will explore how intentional touch can foster healing and balance, alleviate stress, and enhance overall well-being. This will deepen our practice in connection with ourselves as well as our partners and loved ones. About Yulian & Reem: Yulian & Reem are a husband-and-wife team of Osteopathic Manual Practitioners.

Conflict is inevitable and every relationship worth having will eventually test you, trigger you, and cause you to expand or repress. The happy couples that last aren't the ones that don't fight, but rather the ones who have figured out how to navigate and resolve the difficult moments when they arise. How we do that while turning back towards each other with compassion and humility is a skill that can be practiced. In this workshop, we'll share stories from our own hardest moments, offer the practical tools that have worked for us, and facilitate a conversation based on your questions and reflections.

In this presentation, you’ll learn my best core strategies on how to market your business in a way that is ethical, effective and beautiful. No scripts. No pitching. No inauthentic self-promotion. No high-pressure sales tactics. No manipulating anyone.  This is marketing you’ll actually do.  You don’t have to choose between ethics and effectiveness. That’s the core idea here: Your marketing can be genuinely good-vibes, deeply respectful, trauma-informed, consent-based, conscience-driven, courteous, and honour the dignity of everyone involved (including you). You can get more word-of-mouth and market your beautiful work beautifully. And, given the overly-saturated marketplace in the holistic and coaching world, it needs to stand out. Ah… But so many people feel deeply ill at ease with the idea of self promotion. Most entrepreneurs I know feel torn between either doing no marketing at all (because they can’t find a way to do it that feels good) or marketing that works in the short term (but doesn’t feel good). I am suggesting that there’s a way to approach marketing that actually works better than the pushy and manipulative approaches you hate and that feels genuinely good to all involved.You can be a better marketer and attract all the clients you can handle – without sacrificing your integrity. This work is all about developing what I call ‘ethical marketing for uncertain times’. By the end of this workshop you will learn about: * Why some of your past attempts at marketing either failed or felt awful (or both). * What the Seven Fundamentals are (and, I predict, feel an enormous sense of relief that marketing can both feel good and work) and exactly which order to tackle them in (it does matter). * Be guided through a series of ‘micro-reflections’ to help you figure out which of the seven you’re strong in and which you’re weak in (and what to do about it) About Tad: Founder of Marketing for Hippies Tad is a hippy who developed a knack for marketing (and then learned how to be a hippy again). Since 2001, he’s been weaving together strands of ethical marketing, Waldorf School education, a history in the performing arts, local culture work, anti-globalization activism, an interest in his ancestral, traditional cultures, community building and supporting local economies into this work of helping people create profitable businesses that are ethically grown while restoring the beauty of the marketplace.

A gentle exploration of myth as a bridge between the conscious and unconscious mind. Together, we’ll step into the symbolic realm of story, the collective unconscious, and the quiet truths that live beneath language. Colby will share an intimate reading of the Sagittarius chapter from Origin Myths of the Stars, followed by space for personal and communal reflection. This session invites slowing down, listening inward, and meeting the old stories as mirrors for our own lives and our shared community. About Colby: Colby Michelle is a writer and storyteller from northern Alberta whose work explores the quiet meeting place between myth, psychology, and lived experience. She is the author of Origin Myths of the Stars, a small collection of mythopoetic retellings of the zodiac’s earliest stories. Colby approaches myth as a simple way of remembering—of slowing down, listening inward, and meeting old archetypes with fresh honesty. She’s grateful to share these stories at Reclaiming Evolution and to offer them as gentle companions for anyone drawn to the symbolic language of myths.
