Maia TollKeynote Speaker
Finding Wild Wisdom
at the Juncture of Intellect & Intuition 9:30am |
The first step to honoring your inner-wisdom and intuition is learning how to listen for it’s whispers. Easily said but harder to do. We haven’t been trained in how to listen for our intuition. In fact, we haven’t been taught to think that intuition is a skill that can be honed as we simultaneously sharpen our intellect. If you’ve felt confused or even misled by your intuition in the past or if you are wanting to begin incorporating more right brain into your left brained world, this workshop is for you.
You’re checking in for your flight and your belly feels off. Is it intuition or indigestion? You’re getting dressed for a job interview. Is that voice in your head telling you to “wear the blue blazer!” your inner-wisdom or your inner-critic? You really don’t want to go to your friend’s party. Are you anti-social or in-sync with yourself? In a time when information and opinions are coming at us constantly, learning how can we discern which of the many voices is the voice of our own inner-knowing is essential to feeling grounded. Developing a sense of self-trust and security in our inner knowing leads to less uncertainty, better decision making, and an overall sense of calm. The good news? Intuition is a skill you can hone. In this workshop we’ll explore the different ways intuition reveals itself. You’ll begin to understand the unique way in which your intuition speaks to you. And, perhaps most importantly, you’ll start to learn how to use your intellect to interpret the murmurings of your intuition. At the juncture of intellect and intuition, that you will find you can decipher not only your inner-voice but the susurrus of natural world. Understanding how you receive information will unlock a world of connectivity. Bring a journal or sketchbook to this illuminating, experiential class! |

Dr. Deborah Matthew
Love the Way You Feel!
A Roadmap to Optimal Health 11:30am |
To achieve your full potential, and live life to the fullest, you’ll need your health!
Many factors (including stress, inflammation, toxins, gut function, hormones, and your life experiences) affect your overall wellness. Our modern healthcare system is designed to consider only one issue at a time, for example insomnia or high blood pressure or constipation, and typically relies on pharmaceutical drugs. Unfortunately, drugs often just put a bandaid on the symptom and don't really make you well. A "whole person" approach simply makes more sense. In this workshop we’ll explore the inter-connectedness of your body. We’ll talk about how the bacteria living in your gut affects your immune system, how your immune system affects your hormone levels, how your hormones affect your digestion, and how your thoughts affect everything! You'll learn about everyday toxins in the environment that disrupt your gut microbiome and hormone function, tipping the balance towards illness. How food is more than just calories for energy - food is information that affects your genes. And how stress affects your hormone balance, immune system function and even your digestion. You'll discover how to tell what diet is right for you, how to find out whether you have the right bacteria in your gut and whether your hormones are balanced, what supplements your body needs, and the best exercise to restore health. Walk away with strategies to address the root causes of your health issues so you can be well, avoid prescription drugs and love the way you feel! |
Sara Arey
The Art of Creating Powerful Affirmations for Expanding Times. 1:40pm
|
When we want to change negative thoughts or habits, we regularly reach for an affirmation to inspire and help us. Affirmations show up all over the place, and they can strike just the right note. That’s why they're shared on social media, written on post-it notes, and chanted aloud and under the breath.
When you hear a great one, you may have a surge of energy and a feeling of empowerment. Sometimes, though, even as you forward one on to friends, there’s another story playing out under the surface – or even right out front and center. It’s the pushback, the “reality” thoughts like, “Yeah, but it’s not that easy” or “What if this is true for other people and not me” or even, “Yeah, right”. These thoughts can be so subtle that you don’t realize you’re having them until you find yourself playing small again. The problem is that you’re trying to fix a problem from the level of that problem – your mind. In this hands-on experiential workshop, Sara offers a new approach to creating affirmations that engages far more of you than your mind. You’ll access your creative higher mind, your body and energy system, and your sense of play. You’ll learn what to do with “Yeah, but” thoughts that would otherwise keep you stuck in old patterns. More and more, we’re being called to know that we're the creators of our lives, not just reactors to what’s happening around us. It’s freeing and empowering. Come learn to support yourself, your healing, and your expansion in bigger, deeper ways that are both powerful and easy. You’ll learn a quick reframe that you can even use in the middle of an argument to help shift your energy. You’ll leave with a powerful tool, a fun reminder, and an expanded way of seeing yourself. |

What About Joy?
An Invitation to Center Joy In Our Lives 3:20pm |
~ Are you unclear about what joy looks like in your life?
~ Do you feel disconnected from the experience of joy? ~ Does the experience of Joy seem to always be out of reach? Joy can seem out of reach to many of us. We are being sold a vision of joy that is outside of us. It is the next shiny thing. It is the body on a magazine that looks nothing like ours. We are taught consciously and subconsciously that joy only exists when things are perfect in our relationships, bodies and bank accounts. It is shown to us as always just outside our grasp. We all know and have experienced being disconnected from joy in this lifetime. We have each in our own ways experienced loss, heartache and confusion that leave us wondering if joy is available to us, if we will experience it in our lives and how it seems others are finding it. And the truth is Joy exists in each of us, in every moment. We have all experienced it before. That knowing, that inner connection to it is what pushes us to seek it. The hard part can be uncovering and reconnecting to the joy inside, especially as we navigate healing, loss, uncertainty and fear. I invite you to join me for an exploration of joy in our lives. This session is about building sustainable tools that help us remember joy and center it in our experience. "What About Joy" is based in helping us understand what joy looks for us as individuals and building practices that can help us remain connected to that joy in our daily lives and relationships. |
