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.

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?

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.

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.
