Copy of Song Circle- Wed Nights 5:30-6:15
2023-09-13 17:30 - 18:15, 2023-09-06 17:30 - 18:15, 2023-08-30 17:30 - 18:15 (America/New_York) | Ritual Art of Wellness, 2 Scott Dyer Road, Cape Elizabeth, ME, 04107, United States
Song is a ritual for expression, joy, grief and connection. Join us. All voices welcome.

Most of our ancestors gathered to sing, and it didn’t matter if they had a great voice or not! Song was and is a form expression, celebration, grieving, and connecting.
Although song is sacred and we don’t take ourselves too seriously!
We welcome intergenerational energy. If you have kids that would enjoy being mostly seated for 45 min of singing, bring them! Often they have a song to teach us! (We’ll have some coloring options off to the side and have also found that having a snack before and little water during is helpful to sustain many of them).
I wonder how song will begin to weave into your life outside of Ritual? Or perhaps the way your song rituals will weave into the lives of those at Ritual?

2023-09-09 14:00 - 15:30 (America/New_York) | Portland, Virtual Via Zoom, Portland, ME, 4050, United States
Learn this powerful 3-step process to overcome stress and anxiety, perform at your best, and begin living the life you’re called to live!

*************************************************************
Tired of feeling anxious and stressed out and not living the life you’re really capable of? Discover a sense of deep inner calm and confidence as you step into the greatest version of you possible.
*************************************************************
Free 90-minute Workshop (via Zoom)

A workshop designed for heart-centred, success-driven professionals—people doing their utmost to succeed in their demanding career while attempting to balance family and personal life but finding themselves stressed and overwhelmed instead.
*************************************************************
It’s not surprising that you feel Exhausted, are headed for Burnout and are just not getting the Results you want if:

You’ve been living with stress so long that you feel like it’s controlling your life or its become your norm
Your relationships are strained by your “negativity” regardless of how much try to please everyone around you
Your health is suffering as you experience chronic muscle tension, headaches or trouble sleeping
You crave time for yourself but don’t know how to fit it into your day and when you do find time, you feel guilty about it
You’ve tried other methods to manage stress, only to feel even more unhappy and drained with no idea how to ‘fix’ it

*************************************************************
Learn how to PERFORM AT YOUR BEST and ELIMINATE STRESS with this simple 3-step process.
*************************************************************
This 3-Step process is easy to understand and can be implemented right away! But… this isn’t about setting goals, coming up with an action plan or even about accountability.

While those things are important, this is much DEEPER.

This is about the inner work—about real and lasting transformation. It’s about changing how you think, changing how you relate to your stress and finding that deep sense of presence and peace already inside you. And then it’s about aligning that with your vision to get the results you want and that you are called to in life.

In this workshop, you’ll learn how to implement the three steps into your life immediately to see MASSIVE results as quickly as possible.
*************************************************************
PURPOSE. POSTURE. PRESENCE.

You’ll learn what these things really mean and how they apply to your life. The 90-minute workshop happens once each month on the second Saturday of the month.

The workshop is interactive so come ready to participate and potentially share in this safe space. Obviously you get out of it what you put into it and while nobody will force you to share, your participation will help you tap into and unlock your greater potential—and the greater potential you utilize… the greater the results in your life.
*************************************************************
Imagine what it would be like to overcome stress or anxiety and begin living from a place of true confidence and presence!
*************************************************************
What will that do for you? How will you feel when you show up for your loved ones from a place of power—giving your best while feeling your best (instead of remaining stuck in a place of exhaustion, overwhelm and turmoil). Imagine how you’ll turn heads at work with the energy you bring to your meetings and interactions. Picture your friends reactions to the changes in you and how much more loved and appreciated they’ll feel as you become more available—physically and emotionally. And, the best part, you WILL have the energy and INSPIRATION to go beyond what you ever thought possible to the LIFE YOU’RE TRULY CALLED TO.

Without stress ruling your life, your overall best health will be supported—and you’ll see improvements in aches/pains and your sleep as well as reduced anxiety and depression.
*************************************************************
In this workshop you’ll gain:

Clarity around your vision as well as the true cause of stress
What it really means to have Purpose and be Present
A Mini Action Plan that will help you start releasing stress immediately for peak performance and more enjoyment
A Safe Space in which you can go deeper into your own growth, healing, success and ultimate fulfillment

Join me for this 90-minute interactive workshop to claim your stress-free life!
*************************************************************
It’s time for you to live the LIFE you’re MEANT to!

About Shawn K. Carpenter
A transformation coach for over a decade, Shawn uses a combination of different modalities to help you overcome emotional and behavioural patterns such as procrastination, stress, anxiety, and burnout so that you perform at your best, elevating your career and creating the relationships and quality of life they want as you come home to your (true) SELF. This includes elements of Strategic Intervention (founded by Tony Robbins) which draws from methodologies such as Ericksonian therapy, human needs psychology, and strategic family therapy as well as approaches favoured in Compassionate Inquiry®, a psychotherapeutic approach developed by Dr. Gabor Maté that reveals what lies beneath the appearance we present to the world.
As a lifelong artist, Shawn is filled with such tremendous passion every time he puts paint to canvas. There is something indescribable, something beyond words, that comes alive in him. This is a powerful, creative, peaceful and intensive expression of Awareness. And in his art, as in his sessions, it is about being inspired toward our true nature.
It is about joy, love, bliss, and the beautiful things in life.
It is also about facing those parts of us—the painful, dark places we’d rather suppress, project and hide from—bringing them into the light so that they can be integrated and we can become whole so that we can experience life as the miracle it is.
It is about going inward to realize our true nature.
You can experience the breakthroughs you need in your life and live the life you desire at the deepest levels. The life you’re called to live.
You can be successful, powerful and at peace.
You can be FREE.

Here’s what people are saying about Shawn:
“It’s been an amazing two weeks since our last session! I’m using the strategies—everything you’ve shown me so far—and I’m experiencing some incredible breakthroughs because of it! Thank you, Shawn!”

“These sessions have been absolutely amazing! I’m blown away by how much calmer I’m starting to feel—every session… and how you’re helping me to make friends with my anxiety. I’m starting to be able to feel it in my body without it taking me over… and there is a real sense of peace with that. Thank you.”

“Our session today was amazing! I’m blown away by how much calmer I am. I was so stressed out at the start of the session I almost cancelled. I’m sooooo glad I didn’t! I feel peaceful. Stronger. Like I can go out and tackle all of this.. and that Life supports me as I do. Thank you Shawn!”

“Thank you so much for today’s session—I really needed that. I can’t talk to anyone else about all of this, ut I feel supported and safe with you. I look forward to every session with you because I know you’ll help me to face and feel these really difficult emotions and situations that I just didn’t want to face. I know there is so much more to work on… and that I can count on you to be there for me.”

3 Strategies to Transform Your Life with Chronic Illness - Lewiston
2023-09-09 12:00 - 13:00 (America/New_York) | Lewiston, Virtual via Zoom, Lewiston, ME, 04240, United States
A 60 minute workshop to help highly driven women who are living with a chronic illness reclaim their life and transform their health

Are you living with a chronic illness?
Does it feel like it has taken over your life?

Everything in your life changed when you were told you had an illness that would now be part of your life.
One day you were getting up and doing your same old same old and now every day looks different, unfamiliar, and even like it’s somebody else’s life.

It is like you have handed over your life to strangers who want to help you…
but you don’t even know how to help yourself.

There is a lot to process, a lot to remember, a lot of places that you have to be that you have never been before – tests, treatments, surgeries…

It is just a lot.

Where do you start when you’re on a path you have never been on before?
You could crawl under the blankets and pretend like this isn’t happening. But that isn’t going to help you move forward.
You could scream and yell and be angry all of the time. But that isn’t going to help you manage all of the things you have to do.
You could say I can’t without even knowing if you can. But that isn’t who you are or who want to be.
You know that you can do this, you just aren’t sure how.

Life with a chronic illness can be more than medical appointments and living stressed and wondering what you can do.

In this workshop you learn a holistic approach to supporting your body, mind and spirit.

We will be talking about how supporting your body through food and movement, managing your thoughts to reduce your stress, and caring for yourself are key parts to your healing process.

Have you tried searching for how to eat without finding solutions that are easy to start and feel right for you?

Are you struggling with a chronic health condition, pain or stress?

Are you grieving the loss of the life you had and want to help yourself get back on track?

Are you fed up with scheduling your life around taking pills, seeing doctors, adapting to yet another diet and you don’t see an end to it?

Wouldn’t you love to find a solution that really works without complicated plans and overwhelm?

This is for you if:
if you have been diagnosed with a chronic illness
if you are looking for ways to live your every day life and feel joy
if you are ready to get the support you need

Hi there!
I’m Kathryn, a holistic wellness coach and a cancer survivor. I help highly driven women who are living with a chronic illness, reclaim their life and transform their health through my holistic transformational healing process.

It’s no surprise that you’re super intelligent, highly capable and brilliant in so many areas of your life and yet you feel stuck in one BIG area of your life.

Do you know you’re a spiritual person, but you have fears or limitations holding you back?
Do you feel like you’ve done ALL the self work (therapy, journaling, affirmations, energy work) and for some reason you still can’t move forward?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you’re in the right place.
In this ninety minute workshop, you’ll learn about trapped emotions, where they come from , and how they affect pretty much everything in your life.
You’ll see demonstrations on how to clear trapped emotions (i.e. emotions that haven’t been fully processed through your body) and you’ll hear stories about how clearing trapped emotions have changed people’s lives massively and quickly.

Peer Support 101
2023-09-06 09:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | ZOOM, Zoom, zoom, ME, 04330, United States
Peer Support 101 is for anyone wanting to know more about Peer Support in Maine. Pre-Requisite to apply to the Maine CIPS training program

Peer Support 101

Over the last 35 years peer support in mental health has evolved out of a human rights perspective. Even in the late 1970’s, when most of the mental health community was talking about life long illness and containment in the community, people working in peer support were talking about rights, consciousness raising, alternatives, and choice. People like Sally Zinman and Howie the Harp were helping people come together to support one another in becoming well and building a life in community. While all this was developing, so were the ideas about what makes peer support different than other kinds of help. Not better or worse, but a whole different way of thinking about life and supportive relationships. (Shery Mead, 2006)

Peer Support 101 is an opportunity to take a peek at Intentional Peer Support, learn about the tasks of peer support and hear about peer support in Maine. Peer Support 101 is a 3-hour class offered to anyone interested in learning more about peer support. It is also a requirement for participation in the Peer Support Specialists Certification

Who should take Peer Support 101?

Consumers – Provides an opportunity to discover the broad range of peer support. As well as qualify for participation in the Peer Support Specialists Certification.

Providers – Peer Support may be something offered in your agency, or your community, do you know what its all about? Would you like to know the possibilities?

Collective Presencing
2023-09-04 18:00 - 20:00 (America/New_York) | Good Medicine Collective, 231 York Street, Portland, ME, 04102, United States
Collective Presencing is a circle practice for authentic relating, navigating complexity, and accessing collective wisdom.

What becomes possible when we are truly present together?
Collective Presencing is a circle practice that trains the skills and capacities for navigating complexity, tapping into our collective intelligence, and co-creating more harmonious communities.
Gathering around a shared inquiry, we practice deep listening and attunement to shared resonance. We sense into what wants to emerge through the space between us, and allow ourselves to become vehicles for its authentic expression. We build resilient and coherent group fields that are capable of holding paradox and turning tension into wisdom, healing, and creativity.
Ultimately, we are returned to the experience of being intimately connected beyond our differences, dissolving our stories of separateness and isolation.

How to Embody the INNER WORK Instead of Just Processing It-Portland
2023-09-02 12:00 - 16:00 (America/New_York) | Portland, Virtual Via Zoom, Portland, ME, 4050, United States
Free, immersive, workshop to embody your inner work so you can finally break the cycle and align with your authentic, soul-filled life.

Are you a spiritual seeker, therapist, coach, or facilitator passionate about developing awareness and growing personally and professionally? You’ve done the training. You’re doing the work. Yet you still find yourself repeating the old patterns.
In your heart of hearts, you’re finally ready to break the cycle for yourself and those you support. To be frank, you’re kind of sick of repeating your victim narratives, stuckness and emotional patterns.
As a personal growth enthusiast on an awakening journey, you know your inner world creates your external world. And yet you still find it difficult to integrate and embody all the knowledge in a way that aligns you with the life you know is possible.
Or maybe you’ve simply had a profound experience with breathwork or somatic experiences. The experience changed you. And you’re curious to learn more about using the breath, somatic processes and embodied presence to create lasting transformation (for yourself and those you serve).
Are you ready to finally heal at the deepest level possible?
Register for this immersive 4-hour workshop if you want to feel a deep sense of liberation from your emotional pain or stuckness and you’re ready to take the courageous step of claiming full responsibility for the life you came here to live.
You know investing in yourself is essential, but you also can’t keep expecting that next training, medicine journey or “thing” to be the answer.
So what now?
This free deeply engaging worksop is your missing link if you want to integrate all the sh*t you’ve done and know!
Join us for this process-rich experience. You will be given the tools and methodologies, guided through embodiment processes and held in the sacred space to transform your wounded story, trauma-based narratives and suffering into the growth and integrative healing you long for (for you and your clients). When you are supported to integrate what you innately know—you’ll embody your wholeness. You’ll align with your inner authenticity. You’ll feel confident and purpose-filled. You’ll deeply trust yourself and life, and that is when you’ll find your outer experiences shift toward abundance, grace and ease.
****************************************************************
THIS VIRTUAL WORKSHOP IS PERFECT FOR YOU IF:

You want to avoid spiritual bypassing and be an embodied version of the WISDOM you have to share—you’re ready to end the cycle and reclaim your joy and vibrance.

You know there is inherent knowledge in the body and want to learn how to finally listen to it and trust it so you can experience the flow and ease of LIFE!

You’ve read the books and maybe even have the certifications and tried to CHANGE your life, but you still end up repeating old habits and creating the same old results.

You want to help others but feel like you can’t show up CONFIDENTLY because there is a lack of embodiment—you’re ready to heal yourself so you can support others with integrity.

You can no longer deny the call to slow down and embody deep PRESENCE so that you can feel a deep sense of clarity and live in alignment with your inner authenticity and PURPOSE.

****************************************************************
If any of that sounds like you, join us for this powerful, integrative experience!
You’ve been trying to do it all. The truth is, no one can do it on their own.
You can’t see what you can’t see — so let us support you! And witness the ripple effect of this inner transformation and embodiment in the lives of all connected to you.
RSVP TODAY to unlock the power of conscious breathwork, somatic inquiry, embodied presence and sacred community so that you can witness the YOU that is unchanged, infinite and empowered and make the difference in the world that you are called to make!
****************************************************************
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW/BRING:

This is a 4-hour live-online workshop held on Zoom. The link to join will be provided upon registration so be sure to check your email.

“It’s hard to describe Keli’s capacity to facilitate understanding and healing. Her spirit is light and playful; however, she can help lead you to the darkest places and hold the space for you as you bring light to them.”
“I can’t say enough about what a gift it is to work with Keli. There is something very special about her that words cannot fully describe. Keli’s mastery shines through in her ability to connect, create a safe environment, teach, and help guide you back to your inner truth, knowing, and strength.”

“Briony’s mindset coaching has really helped me to explore and understand my beliefs, values and behaviours and how I get in my own way. The sessions have provided me with tools and strategies to help me navigate situations more effectively to improve the outcomes I get. They helped me achieve more balance in my life and in my work. I cannot recommend her work highly enough”

Online health circle to discuss yogic approach to managing health and wellness

Health circle is a monthly drop-in Zoom one-hour session, where we review a health topic of interest to the group, examine yogic management of diseases and share experiences in a supportive and accepting environment.
Victoria is a RYT500 yoga teacher certified by yoga schools in Rishikesh, India and a certified yoga therapist by The Yoga Institute in Mumbai, India. Currently I am enrolled in 800 hours yoga therapy program with YogaLife Institute.
Yoga therapy, as per The Yoga Institute lineage, is based on the sutras and offers yogic management of conditions which is complementary to your individual medical/clinical orders and advice. The discussions in the health circles DO NOT replace your clinical orders and advice.

5. In further consideration of being permitted to participate in the Activities, I knowingly, voluntarily and expressly waive any “Claim” (as defined below) I may have against the Instructor, instructors, workshop presenters (each, a “Released Party”) that I may sustain as a result of participating in the Activities at the event location even if the Claim arises from the negligence of any Released Party or anyone else.

Meditation with Beau occurs on the 4th Sundays of the month from 6-7pm in the studio at Good Medicine Collective.

We welcome you to join us in community meditation. There is some instruction and guidance offered, as well as time to discover the depths of silence. Meditative techniques are primarily drawn from Buddhist traditions, and include cultivating a calm and pleasant abiding, liberating ways of paying attention, and blooming of the heart through practices like loving-kindness and others.
In addition to the practice, there is also time for discussion of the Buddhist teachings. The aim is that the teachings will be attuned and responsive to the needs of those attending any given circle. In that vein, your questions, comments, ponderings, frustrations, delights etc. regarding the practice are not only welcome, but strongly encouraged and requested. They may come from any area of your life that you wish to, or already are, including in your practice. Together we will explore and reflect from our own experience as well as from the ancient and contemporary wisdom we have inherited.
