Space for Rest & Renewal

12:00pm to 1:00pm
12:00pm to 1:00pm
SSSC (3431 Herzberg)

Looking for a rest-pause in the middle of your day? A chance to retreat from the hustle, slow down and settle in for a restorative practice?
 
Come, be led through some gentle movement and guided visualization with a focus on re-sourcing from the inner well. 
 
This is for you if you are:

  • In need of a break from thinking and doing

  • Open-minded and ready to (potentially) step outside your comfort zone and experiment in an energetically playful laboratory of living

  • Willing to silence and set aside technology for the duration of our time together

  • Able to take responsibility for your experience, identify if something isn’t working for you, and honour yourself and others by acting accordingly with minimal disruption to the group

Doors close at 12:05pm. Make sure to register for this event through mySuccess (Access MySuccess through Carleton360) and click on Science Student Success Centre.

About Heather: 
 
For the last two decades, Heather has studied and practiced a variety of healing, contemplative art forms. Since 2015, her primary focus has been on practices that support our ability to meet change, loss, and grief in everyday life. In 2017 she discovered a passion for guiding individuals and small groups through meditation and breathwork practices as part of her steady engagement in transpersonal medicine and end-of-life care.
 
Heather places an emphasis on slowing way down, shifting from thinking to feeling, getting out of our own way, and learning to trust the inner healing intelligence that is ever present, although sometimes obscured. With the power of presence, she humbly holds space and offers up reminders of what is already available to us at the deepest levels of being.
 
By sharing these practices, Heather hopes to support others in getting to know themselves beyond the limited perspectives of individual identity, which can ultimately serve to deepen our capacity to be with uncertainty and suffering.
