Getting to Core Goals – Residential Workshop

with Rita Cloutier

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?

Women’s Mindfulness and Intimacy, Sept. 24-26

Once again, Cascadia welcomes the Women’s Mindfulness and Intimacy Retreat with Nancy Mortifee, assisted by Carol Sill.

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,
