A container for community, connection, and reflection.

Sunday, August 23
10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Seaforth, Nova Scotia

A small, intimate, and interactive group experience facilitated by two experienced professionals- 

Patricia Auchnie, RSW, MSW, BSW, BA

Patricia is a trained facilitator of self-development and leadership workshops, is a certified brain coach, and licenced private clinician.  Her work focuses on building capacity through experiential learning, practical application, and integration.

Patricia’s desire is to create meaningful opportunities for people to remember the value of wonder, play, curiosity, reflection,  personal growth, connection, community, and creativity.

Group integration and coaching will be provided to support the practical application of the methods and tools introduced throughout the day.

As Johann Wolfgang von Goethe wrote:

“Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.”

Lori Taylor

Lori is a highly experienced, nature-focused wellness leader with advanced training from Nova Scotia. She teaches yoga m, fitness m, and guides hikes, retreats, and outdoor experiences centred on connection with nature and personal growth.

Lori creates opportunities and supportive trauma informed containers for journeys of self-knowledge, awareness, and transformation. Her gifts lie in creating safety and helping people drop in, release limits, habits, emotions, and thoughts that no longer serve them, and open inner doorways to a brighter, lighter, and more powerful vision of themselves.

Together, Patricia and Lori bring more than 60 years of combined experience walking beside people as they discover- and remember- what they are capable of.

Investment: $98

Please bring your own brown-bag lunch.

CREATING THE CONDITIONS

With Patricia + Lori

A one-day journey of breath, stillness, creativity, nature, connection and self-authorship—created for friends, neighbours and new friends on Nova Scotia’s beautiful Eastern Shore.

For one day, we invite you to step away from the noise and return home to yourself.

Together, we will move through a series of guided experiences:

• Breathwork
• Guided meditation
• Self-authorship
• Forest bathing
• Boundary setting
• Creative expression
• Reflection and integration

Each station offers simple how-to guidance, a lived experience and practical ways to bring what you learn into your daily life.

Think of it as a buffet of wellness methods. You do not have to adopt everything. Come curious. Try things on. Discover what feels meaningful and useful to you.

Perhaps you begin with:

One minute of mindfulness.
A two-minute body scan.
A three-minute breathing break.

Small practices can create very different conditions for your life.

What to Expect

You can expect to be held emotionally, spiritually, and mentally while strengthening your ability to hold yourself.

Many of us had pieces of power taken when we were young. 

Others slowly gave it away without realizing it. 

We were never given an operator’s manual for being human.

Patricia and Lori cannot write yours for you and we can offer you methods, tools, and provide experiences to help you begin.

This day is about remembering your agency, calling your power home and Creating the Conditions for better health, self-compassion, awareness and possibility.

This Day Is for You If…

• You are ready to take meaningful action in your life.
• You are curious about different approaches to wellness.
• You want practical tools not simply more information.
• You are open to breathwork, meditation, nature and creative experiences.
• You want greater agency, awareness and connection.
• You are willing to slow down, participate, and learn.
• You do not need prior experience, only an open heart and mind.

This Day May Not Be for You If…

• You are looking for someone else to fix or rescue you.
• You are unwilling to participate in the experiences.
• You want a passive day of listening without personal reflection or engagement 
• You are not ready to make even one small change in your daily life.
• You cannot be present for the full day.
• You are currently in an activated state requiring medical support mental, physical, or spiritual.

We ask participants to be in the action stage of change ready to practise, experiment, and take one step forward.

Please Bring

• A brown-bag lunch
• Water
• A new journal
• Coloured pens
• A blindfold
• Yoga Mat
• Pillow
• Water
• A weighted blanket, if available
• Comfortable clothing for indoor and outdoor experiences
• Bug spray or other personal items you need for being out of doors.
• Swim suit and towel 
• An open mind, open heart, and a desire to lead more fully, and completely in the story of your own life.

Investment

$98 for the full day
Receipt provided.

Space is intentionally limited to support intimacy, connection and integration.

This particular day will never happen in quite this way again.

If you are reading this and something inside you is already saying yes, perhaps you have your answer.
