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.

“There is a power that comes from contacting the self on a visceral level—a power that leads to an opening of the heart and a return to who we truly are. I facilitate this transformation through movement—the forgotten language of the soul.” — Karen Roeper

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.

Discover Rosen Method: Upcoming Workshops
Rosen Method Bodywork is about opening the heart and freeing the soul.
“This work is about transformation – from the person we think we are to the person we really are.” Marion Rosen (Founder)
Rosen Method Bodywork is unique in its use of sensitive, non-manipulative touch and words to encourage physical and emotional awareness. In moments of deep relaxation, long-held feelings and memories may surface and be spoken. We can become aware of choices we made early in life around which we have shaped our lives. With this awareness, we may discover new possibilities for regaining freedom of movement and more authentic self-expression.
Rosen Method is an effective complement to psychotherapy, medical treatment, and alternative treatment modalities. It is simple and direct. Rosen Method can be a powerful tool for reestablishing our mind, body and spirit connections.
Workshops provide an opportunity for self-discovery, by giving participants opportunity to explore this work through demonstrations, movement, hands-on experience, discussion and personal sharing. The support of the group enriches and deepens the process.
Mariette Berinstein, Director of Rosen Method Cascadia Centre is a Certified Bodywork Senior Teacher and Practitioner. She has trained and worked with a number of teachers, including Marion Rosen (founder) and Elaine Mayland, author of “Rosen Method: An Approach to Wholeness and Wellbeing Through the Body”. Mariette discovered Rosen Method in 1989 while on her own healing journey. In honouring the sacredness of this work, she creates an allowing, safe place for the individual to connect with their authentic, whole Self. As an artist, Mariette brings creativity and passion to her teaching and her practice.
