Healing the Feminine Heart: Friday, March 2nd – Sunday, March 4th, 2012
Women’s Mindfulness and Intimacy
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.

Women’s Mindfulness and Intimacy
I am excited to invite you to join me September 30th – October 2nd, for a “Healing the Feminine Heart Weekend” at Cascadia Retreat Centre in Robert’s Creek. As part of the ever-evolving nature of these gatherings, I have invited my dear friend and intimacy training colleague, Deepa Narayan, to join as my special guest. Deepa and my wonderful workshop co-host Carol Sill will both lead creative and expressive practices that 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 the fall.
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.

Healing the Feminine Heart
A Women’s Mindfulness and Intimacy Retreat
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.

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.

Some great words from Ann Mortifee about the upcoming workshop at Cascadia:
I want to endorse the Women’s Mindfulness and Intimacy Retreat, led by Nancy Mortifee and her workshop partner, Carol Sill. When women come together with time to reflect and share and with an intention to heal and grow, miracles can happen. Both Nancy and Carol have long been on the journey that leads to a deeper understanding of self. They are women of love, integrity and warmth. Time spent with them can only lead to greater inner freedom and joy. I feel excited when I imagine all that will transpire as women gather with them to travel deeper. Ann Mortifee
