CHAPTERS OF CHANGE
WOMEN’S CIRCLES
A circle of support for women in transition. As women we are always changing. Yet there are particular times in life, signposts, where the power of change can feel overwhelmingly strong. We can feel alone in our Chapters of Change. Come join me, and other like-minded women to hold space, bear witness & validate each other’s feelings & experiences. You are truly not alone.
CREATIVE MINDFULNESS
Creative Mindfulness is 7 stage process, from meditation, to inquiry based on a particular focus, going deep into the answers, connecting to our truth, playing with guided creativity to represent what is coming to the surface, integrating the truth revealed in the art piece into your inner being, and finally creating a concrete plan to bring that truth into your daily life.
The process was developed as a result of a healing journey through Lyme Disease. Creative Mindfulness is part reflection, part creation and all connection-a quiet, gentle and safe place to hold space for going deep into ourselves and finding truth. (Creative Mindfulness creator & owner of Safe Haven Laurie McMurdo.

GUEST SPEAKERS AND EXPERTS
Crystal Bowl Sound Healing
Sound meditation sessions are powerful events. A combination of instruments such as crystal bowls, chimes, rattles and drums, and recorded vibrational music are woven together with gentle facilitation and guidance. Participants receive the immediate benefit of the music and frequencies as well as an hour of deep, peaceful guided meditation. Every session begins and ends the same yet is slightly unique, governed by the needs and number of participants in the room. Positive effects include reduction of insomnia, reduction of anxiety and stress and increased energy and wellbeing. (Safe Haven Visiting Expert Andrea Courey- andreacourey.com)
Reflexology
Reflexology is an ancient and natural healing art that has been in existence for over 4000 years. It is based on the principle that there are energy zones throughout the body and reflexes in the feet, hands, ears (and other parts) that correspond to every part, gland, and organ of the body. Reflexology has a host of benefits, including reduction of stress, relaxation, cleansing the body of toxins, increasing energy levels, & improving sleep.
Working a foot (hand or ear) triggers a reflex action in a corresponding part of the body. This action is simply to release tension which reduces vascular constriction and allows the blood and nerve supply to flow more freely. The body can then repair itself unrestricted by the effects of stress. Oxygen and nutrients can then make their way to the area where needed.

Integtrated Energy Therapy (IET ®)
Integrated Energy Therapy® or IET , is the art of healing with the pure energy of the Angels. It has been described as one of the “next generation, hands-on, power energy therapy systems that gets the issues out of your tissues for good!”
The principal objective of I.E.T. is to provide a safe, gentle, yet powerful, support to release suppressed feelings, and the energy blockages they cause, from our cellular memory. Releasing the blocks allows for self-healing on all levels (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual).

Oracle Card Readings
With the cards and the expert’s intuition, light is brought to what you would most like or need to know, accessing and activating your inner knowing.
When that call to listen & to clarify comes, light can be brought with insight, information, and guidance. Through an oracle card reading, we can break free into this light!
(Safe Haven visiting expert Sheila Bicknell. Visit her website at bluewateroracle.com)
Mediumship
Using a capacity to connect with many levels of “Multidimensional Beings of Divine Light,” what will be brought forward will be intentional for those who are present. You can experience first hand what channelling is.
“We are all light beings and we are here to express our light in this physical journey in Joy, Peace and Love.”(Safe Haven visiting expert Donna- Marie, lovingly nicknamed “Wifi” from her Spirit Team. Visit her website at www.donna-marie.ca
