Stepping Off the Assembly Line
Presenter: Cara Marshall (Anam Cara)
From the moment you were born you were placed on society’s assembly line of Life; checking off the boxes as you went along living, without even questioning whether it is good for you or not. You trusted that society, along with your family, had your best interest at heart and that you would live out a happy, healthy, successful life. However, what Cara has come to discover, is majority of people eventually feel deflated, constrained and/or stuck living a daily life that doesn’t fulfill them. In this session Cara will share a simple formula to help you start the process of stepping off that assembly line. She will go through the ingredients to help you freely step into living your best life. When you expand your awareness, shift your perspective and take action you step into your freedom and can begin to live your best life. “Life is not outside of you, it is created from within you”. Let’s be Free!

Fall Equinox Women’s Circle
Presenter: Melanie Dawn
We, the sacred feminine, have more power than can ever be imagined. In a welcoming space of safety, strength and support there is a magnificent ability to heal and encourage one another. Dreams, wishes, intentions, healing - nothing is impossible in the unconditional support of the circle.
Fall equinox represents duality - where light and darkness, day and night, become equal in length. It’s a time for creating sacred relationship with ALL of who we are, releasing any shame or guilt about past experiences and seeing the light that exists within everything as a union with the dark. Women’s circles provide a community that encourages re-connection to purpose, commitment to action, the strength to see something different and empowerment to make change. For the circle, we’ll need a journal and pen, yoga mat or blanket, open heart and mind, and a willingness to be vulnerable.
The equinox theme will be the duality of our nature. Embracing the light and shadow aspects of our personality.
