Radical Rest Retreat (A Psilocybin Retreat)
2024-10-17 - 2024-10-20
“What would it be like to live in a well-rested world? Far too many of us have claimed productivity as the cornerstone of success. Brainwashed by capitalism, we subject our bodies and minds to work at an unrealistic, damaging, and machine level pace –– feeding into the same engine that enslaved millions into brutal labor for its own relentless benefit”
~ Tricia Hersey

In the fast-paced world we live in which focuses so heavily on doing, accomplishing and striving it is so rare that we take the time to slow down, to rest and simply be. These fast and action orientated ways are templated into our nervous system and psyches; many people when given the time to slow down don’t know what to do with themselves, fear boredom or just simply don’t know how to shift gears. We are living in a society that glorifies this busyness and supports “grind culture”.

In our time together, we will explore rest in many ways: as a practice, as a state of being, as way to actually accomplish more and as a way to say no to the cultural normality of working ourselves to the point of depletion. Our goal is to help template in a new way of being, to deeply experience and embody the power of relaxation, restoration and the flow of vital energy in the body.

The weekend will include:

Gentle yoga
Yogic sleep
Breathwork
Heart-coherence practices
Nervous system regulation
Ceremony
Ritual and MORE!

Beloved Woman,
You were not always considered, respected, listened to at a level that honoured you. You were not always considered for leadership or positions of influence and respect. You were not always held in the highest regard in society, and in your interpersonal relationships. Historically, we have lived in a world in which the masculine were granted advantages that helped to propel them to positions of influence, fulfillment, achievement, admiration, basic societal rights.
At times, even other women have relegated you to roles that have not necessarily been commensurate with your dreams, your capacities, and your Path.
BOOK NOW
The time has come on our Beloved planet for the Feminine to flourish.
You are one who is selected by the Divine Feminine to Pioneer this unfolding.
….so let us Celebrate and Honour the Feminine within us.
Let us become aware of the of the Feminine, the capacity of Woman, the Glory of the Feminine Divine
Let us Hear the Feminine Divine
Let us open our hearts and our awareness to who we are as women, and our relationship to the Feminine,
and how that shapes our thoughts, our actions, our conversations, our aspirations, and our relationships.
Let us align with ourselves as The Feminine.
Let us arise together.
Let us be a force of love that
celebrates The Feminine.

Community Deep Dive with Sound
2024-07-20 19:00 - 20:30 (America/Vancouver) | The Sentinel
Deep Dive with Us

Come Deep Dive into the depths of ambient sound with Carrie and Ron Dewhurst of Stillpoint as they create an intimate sacred healing space with Gongs and sound instruments. The nuances and complexities of the vibrational range of the Gong can be quite penetrating, at times peaceful, and at other times compelling. They enable healing on all levels – physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. Interacting with us and shifting our subtle energy field, the gong energy clears blocks and creates energetic flows which rebalance our whole being. Instilling harmony and addressing any disturbances at the causal level, the gongs empower the self-healing processes within.
Participants are asked to experience this with a deep listening state to allow surrender to the process of “Letting Go”.
This intimate sound experience is available at the Sentinel on Saturday, July 20 at 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm in the Maloca.
This event is by a suggested minimum donation of 20.00 per person and all money will be used to donate to a local community cause in an act of giving. Feel free to bring a cushion, blanket and pillow for added comfort.

View From The Edge | IBC, Parts Work & Heart Alchemy
2024-07-04 - 2024-07-08 | The Sentinel
Designed for Space holders in all areas of life!
“While everyone in this world strives to get somewhere and become someone only to leave it all behind after death, you aim for the supreme stage of nothingness. Live this life as light and empty as the number Zero.” Shams de Tabriz
For the first time ever this retreat has been designed from the ground up to support space holders, healers, and retreat facilitators in acquiring simple, powerful and proven methods to be used not only for your own personal benefit but as highly effective tools in service to the clients you work with.
I am a Master Coach, philosopher, speaker, counsellor, facilitator, trainer, management consultant, Olympic athlete, and transformation specialist. I founded Innerland Institute in 2003 and since then have been offering clients a deeply compassionate, razor-sharp awareness to get to the crux and resolution of any situation.
These transformational methods are simple, flexible and highly accessible additions to anything you may be currently offering in your practice – and I’m so excited to share them with you!

This retreat has been specially designed for:

Yoga Teachers
Plant Spirit Medicine Ceremonialists
Therapists/Counsellors
Life Coaches
Integration-focused facilitators
Heart-centered practitioners
Men’s/Womans work leaders
Relational therapists
Anyone currently practicing in the healing arts

What’s Included?
Together we will learn and practice the methods of IBC (inquiry-based coaching) – the wisdom of Zerospace combined with my rendition of Partswork and my brand new Heart Alchemy practice.
Through a fusion of IBC , Parts Work (inspired by IFS Internal Family Systems) and Heart Alchemy, I offer a transformative framework to breath more freedom, clarity and purpose into your own life, and into the lives of those you serve. This program is designed to provide structure and accountability, facilitating a profound level of personal and professional development while laying supportive foundations for your practice to grow and evolve to best meet the ever-changing needs of those you serve.
These highly refined tools will enable you to delve into the deepest layers of your being, uncovering core inner parts, while softening and transforming the barriers to inner freedom – AND I will teach you how to skillfully weave these modalities this into your current practice. Together, we will co-create a sacred space for exploration, ceremony, and magic, tapping into the profound healing power of community while empowering our individual capacities to be of greater service.
We will learn the art of alchemizing our deepest fears into heart-centered Love, and how to move from this Love into inspired Service in our own unique and Magical ways. We will learn how to best support ourselves and our clients in deconstructing the old patterns, fears and beliefs that no longer serve us in order to expand our internal and external capacity to hold this Love – and to let more of who we truly are shine into the world as a blessing for all life.
We will also share in a guided empathogenic ceremony to support the depth of the process and transformation within the contexts of these new tools.

With IBC (Inquiry-Based Coaching), we will:

Identify obstacles hindering our fullest experience of life.
Explore how we unwittingly validate and perpetuate these limiting perceptions.
Understand the impact of this validation on our lived experience.
Recognize missed opportunities obscured by limiting beliefs.
Experience life beyond these limitations, paving the way for transformative action and entering a state of “Zerospace.”
Learn the ins-and-outs of how to best utilize these tools in our current practice and respective paths of service.

Through Parts Work:

We acknowledge ourselves as luminous system made of parts
We examine the assumptions and traumas that have shaped these parts, limiting our self-expression.
With compassionate curiosity, we listen to these parts, witnessing their burdens and experiences.
Through healing, we reintegrate and update these parts, aligning with our true purpose and fostering wholeness in our relationships and systems.
Learn the ins-and-outs of how to best weave this framework into our current practice.

Through Heart Alchemy:

We understand and experience love and authenticity as the highest forms of human vibration.
We use the heart as a crucible for the alchemical transmutation of fear to love, love to service, understanding the constant stages we go through in this process through our lifetime.
We use the metaphor of the Alchemical Process: Dissolution, Coagulation and Crystallization to understand the internal process of turning existential pain into gold. The gold of using challenges to find existential joy through our journey.
Learn the ins-and-outs of how to best support those we serve through the lends of Heart Alchemy

Your Time for Rest and Renewal
As spaceholders and facilitators I know we offer alot – this retreat will also be a time for you to slow down, recharge, replenish, and renew in order to return to your practice feeling inspired, freshly equipped, and ready to serve from a place of deeper resource and abundance. We all know that to best support others we must take exquisite care of ourselves – and this retreat offers and opportunity to unplug from the demands of your life in order to plug into that deeper well of resource, nurturing and inspiration.
Whether you work in the space of yoga, plant medicine, counselling or life coaching, you deserve the very best tools to evolve your practice and deliver the results your clients deserve. With over 20 years of experience in working with teams, coaches, businesses, artists and healers from all walks of life I am committed to offering you the very best of what I’ve learned over the years while empowering you to take your practice to the next level!
If this offering speaks to you, I look forward to having you join us for this magical deep dive.

Resiliency Tools – Gain mastery over your nervous system through the practices of cold and heat exposure. The nervous system is the energetic system of our body. Expanding its capacity allows you to stay regulated and expansive in stressful situations, expand your energetic field, and enhance creativity.
Rewild In Nature – Enjoy the incredible natural surroundings of The Sentinel and remember that you are nature. Optional river walks, guided cold dips in wild and beautiful Kootenay Lake help us to reharmonize to our true nature.
Community – Coming together in community with others of like mind and vibration is perhaps one of the most potent and powerful aspects of these retreats. Entering a safe container where we can be seen, heard and held by our community allows us to heal our wounds and strengthen our confidence and authenticity to show up in the world as the one we came here to be.
🍃 There will also be ample time to simply be, enjoy the natural surroundings and interact with other guests as well as your facilitators in a non structured way.
