In acknowledgement of truth and reconciliation day, I’d like to highlight Melissa Sue Labrador. She is a L’nug Guardian from Wildcat Community in the Kespukwitk District of Mi'kma'ki & works on the land daily. It is because of her constant connection to the land that she devotes her time toward protecting our environment and the sacred spaces that were known by her ancestors.

She believes indigenous led conservation work is the way to protect these spaces that her people hold so dear and envisions more opportunities for future generations to also continue to reclaim and strengthen their identities through this work.

Melissa was raised by her Grandfather Chief Charlie Labrador with the belief that our connection to the world around us – to the forests, waters and air can be understood by all of our senses and that our connection to the environment and all its creatures must first and foremost be rooted in a foundation of respect.

I have the privilege and honour of working with her and she will also be doing a traditional opening of our retreat in March 2023 sponsored by the Joan Feynman grant through @rcfofns for those working in fields of climate change and land conservation.

I’m preparing for the upcoming retreat on Oct 15th, that Im lucky enough to be co-hosting with Teresa MacLennan ✨🙏✨ who will be leading the yoga.

You’ll have a beautiful booklet of artwork, quotes and reflection prompts to take home, along with time to yourself, in small grps as well as optional large grp sharing. You’ll have a lovely chance to meet likeminded people, as well as enjoy some yoga, meditation and relaxation (optional auricular acupuncture as well)!

I’m looking forward to be sharing this uniquely wonderful approach with you!

$45 - hope to see you there!

Some chilly fall swimming! We’ve been lasting 5 minutes.. abit brrr, but totally worth it! Feels great afterwards. Thanks for the inspiration, @zoe.steele! 🧡✨🌱🙏🌱✨🧡

Some artwork I've been creating for the upcoming retreat on October 15th. Soo excited!!

Parker Palmer writes, "For me, holding paradox means thinking about some (but not all) things as “both-ands” instead of “either-ors.”

So many of our troubles, personal and political, come from either-or thinking.

Here is my take on it - when we can see more of our whole experience more clearly – the light and the dark, the joy and the grief, the areas of excellence as well as the mistakes.. When we can simultaneously hold hope as well as despair, then what might open?

If we imagined, even for a moment that maybe what we are going through is also part of being human, could we soften toward ourselves?

How might it change how we interact with the world?

We will explore these themes, do some yoga on Oct 15. It will be a 3 hour wonderful mini-retreat with like-minded souls. Spaces are filling up - link in bio under events to reserve your spot today!

So excited to see you there..

Holding everyone in the Maritimes close in my heart today xo

There are so many bright lights in our world, working every day to make our communities a better place, offering so many gifts with their presence and contributions… and Brian Braganza of @tandemtruths is one of them.

As I am become a facilitator through the @centerforcourageandrenewal, Ive been blessed to have him as a mentor and guide. He has inspired me with his kindness, curiosity and incredible facilitation skills... as well as his ability to lead from he stands. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

I hope you are lucky enough to have a chance to attend one of the circles he facilitates – next one is November 3-5 at Tatamagouche Centre.

Courage to Lead® is a rare opportunity to slow down and deepen connections with kindred spirits and committed peers. This event will support courageous change makers in understanding how their unique gifts can meet the needs of their communities while exploring questions of importance in their life and leadership.

The Quiet Listeners

Go into the woods
and tell your story
to the trees.
They are wise
standing in their folds of silence
among white crystals of rock
and dying limbs.
And they have time.
Time for the swaying of leaves,
the floating down,
the dust.
They have time for gathering
and holding the earth about their feet.
Do this.
It is something I have learned.
How they will bend down to you
so softly.
They will bend down to you
and listen.

Laura Foley

How might you cultivate some ‘some blue sky’ mind into your day?

Things can so busy, it is hard to even think straight sometimes … but even a few moments to pause and reflect can shift our mindset & help us approach life with a little spaciousness and calm.

When we take a moment to do this, to just observe and get a little out of our own heads, we can then consciously create a little more time in ours days.. I like to think we can then show up differently.

Anyway it’s a little experiment I’m playing with! Maybe try it and see!

Sending some blue sky & love your way today xoxo

🦚🪁🌱✨🙏💙🦋💙🙏 ✨🌱🪁🦚

Tricia Fiske is another inspirational person who I’d like to highlight for you.

She is a highly qualified Level 3 ParaYoga Instructor; initiated in the Sri Vidya Yoga Tradition and she’s also a teacher, trainer, mentor, mother, and grandmother and has been a student of yoga since 1997.

Tricia's teachings emphasize self-inquiry and spiritual exchange to get us out of our "story" and into the Present.

Discovering the Heart as our command post rather than the mind, she uses asana, pranayama, bandhas, chanting and meditation in her classes and workshops.

She loves this quote from Stephen Cope - “the Great Work of Your Life" is, “having found your purpose, embrace it fully and passionately. Bring everything you've got to it. Do it full out."

Thanks @triciamfiske for all the love and light you are bringing to the world! Xoxo
