I am excited to invite you to join me March 2nd – 4th, for a “Healing the Feminine Heart Weekend” at Cascadia Retreat Centre in Robert’s Creek.

In a sacred circle of women, explore tools for cultivating deeper intimacy in your relationships, beginning with yourself. Through body based meditation, artistic and emotional expression, connect with your deeper knowing, awaken to unconscious patterning, and learn to let go of behaviours that no longer serve you.

Together we will explore the issues that many women share:

• Learning to uncover and express feelings in the safety of a confidential and sacred circle.
• Sharing the challenges and joys of re-inventing ourselves in relationships, families and worklife.
• Deepening our spiritual life though meditation, stretching, music and movement.
• Discovering new avenues for creative expression using a variety of materials such as clay, collage, masks and textiles. (All of our work is experiential and every activity and process is voluntary.)
• Relaxing into beautiful natural surroundings and enjoying delicious healthy mealsOnce again I will be joined by workshop co-host Carol Sill. Creative and expressive practices will beautifully complement our personal “open seat” sessions. It’s a time to go deeply into ourselves, share with others and move more inwardly mindful through the busyness of this new year.

There are a number of women already committed to the weekend, so Nancy will need to hear from you promptly if you plan to participate.

ROSEN METHOD is conscious touch. A gentle, respectful, hands-on form of bodywork. Working with chronically tight muscles, Rosen Method Bodywork encourages physical and emotional awareness. In moments of deep relaxation, long held feelings and memories may surface and be spoken. Clients often become aware of choices they made early in life around which they have shaped their lives. When this awareness happens, they discover new possibilities for regaining freedom of movement and more authentic self-expression.

Join Mindfulness and Intimacy coach Nancy Mortifee for a deeply enlivening weekend of personal exploration and spiritual practice for women.

She describes the workshop here:
Together the group explores issues that many women share, delving into the following aspects of feminine experience:
• Learning to uncover and express feelings in the safety of a confidential and sacred circle.
• Sharing the challenges and joys of re-inventing ourselves in relationships, families and worklife.
• Deepening our spiritual life through meditation, yoga, music and movement.
• Discovering new avenues for creative expression using a variety of materials such as clay, collage, masks and textiles.
• Relaxing into beautiful, natural surroundings and enjoying delicious, healthy meals.

We invite adult women of all ages with varying interests and life experiences.

The common thread is our desire to know  and express ourselves more fully in life and to receive from one another as women have always done.

This retreat offers participants the chance to renew their sense of aliveness, gain new insights and bear witness to the possibility of personal change. All retreat work is experiential – every activity and process is completely voluntary and grounded in practical application for real life in the conventional world.

I am delighted to be joined again by my dear friend, Carol Sill, who brings years of spiritual practice and will lead us in the beautiful Yoga Nidra.

Getting to CORE GOALS is a personal and professional development service which offers both one-on-one coaching and group seminars for you –  individuals, partners, and teams - who:

• Want to create sustainable development and change that reflect your core values and vision;
• Want to be released from behaviors that act as holding patterns against your best intentions and efforts to turn things around, make progress, or move to the next level;
• Want to step up to new levels of creativity and productivity in alignment with organizational change;
• Want to develop the change agent within yourself in order better to overcome an Immunity-to-Change™, and in the process open up to meaningful and sustainable personal development;
• Want to lead, collaborate, and support others in overcoming an Immunity-to-Change™.

And so . . . you may well be wondering:

To what does “immunity to change” (ITC) refer?

When is an immune system not necessarily a good thing?

To learn more about the ITC Coaching Method: Click here

Coming Soon: A Residential Workshop

at  Cascadia Retreat Centre, Roberts Creek on the Sunshine Coast, BC

This one-and-a-half day workshop introduces the Immunity-to-Change™ process, an overview of supplemental tools, and an introduction to resolving conflicts with “immunities” in mind.

For more information contact: rita@gettingtocoregoals.com

The weekend residential workshop this fall gives an opportunity to explore deeply and welcome the engagement of our authentic selves.

What women say about Nancy’s workshops:

“I can truly say it exceeded all my expectations and was a much needed tonic at this time of challenge and crossroads in my life.”

“….it was your exercises and the entire experience that allowed me to come clean and flush all of my pain and fears. I truly feel a new freedom, a new energy has taken over my heart. I feel like I have taken my power back.”

“I am still feeling the glow of the work, the intention and loving circle that you created. It really was powerful energy medicine.”

The upcoming September retreat promises to be a deepening of the experience for those of you who attended in June, as well as a new transformative experience if you are attending for the first time.

As always the group size will be small to insure an intimate experience.

What is Mindfulness? Mindfulness is the practice of being present; the moment to moment, non-judgmental awareness of how our thoughts and feelings affect our behaviour.

What is Intimacy? Intimacy is the experience of a vulnerable and caring relationship with oneself or another, involving the feeling, expressing and receiving of authentic emotions.

Weekend Schedule:
Friday, Sept. 24th at 6:30 pm (dinner at 7)
to Sunday, Sept. 26th at 2:30 pm.

Workshop Fee:
$375.00  Includes accommodation, all meals, snacks,
