She brings a wellspring of professional as well as life experience and love to her clients. Helen has been married over 30 years and is the proud mom of two amazing adopted daughters.

Merissa Tuner, RTC is a Therapeutic Counsellor with the ACCT (Association of Cooperative Counselling Therapists) of Canada. Merissa is a mother of an 8 and 14-year-old and has been married for over 20 years. What makes her approach unique is unlike most traditional methodologies that focus of a narrow set of symptoms her holistic approach focuses on the whole body, mind, emotions and the soul of the family system. Her approaches are informed by Dr. Gordon Neufelds developmental attachment model, Clearmind’s in-depth psychology frameworks and family systems theory, Mark Wolynn’s ‘Inherited Generational Family Trauma’ and Dr. Peter Levine’s Somatic model in healing trauma.

Our family systems have a powerful influence on how we experience the present, past and future. We know that inherent family patterns are passed down from generation to generation and these patterns teach us how to defend, how to bind anxiety, how to grieve loss, or not grieve loss, and for many how, and who, to be in the world. And sometimes what we inherit from the system of our family isn’t congruent with our own authenticity.

Shamanism works on a level that bypasses the conscious mind allowing one to connect with one’s inner knowing, the ancestors, the elements, the animal spirits, and spirit guides to uncover what is out of balance and needs illumination. This workshop will blend transpersonal teachings and experiential shamanic practices allowing participants to transform the effects of what has been passed down and achieve liberation.

This workshop is co-created and facilitated by Val Adamson and Sonya Weir. Val is a practising Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC) and Sonya is a Shamanic Practitioner. Both have private practices in Vancouver.

Do you desire to be less reactive?
Do you want to feel more joy?
Do you want to be more connected to your body?
Are you tired of getting stepped all over?
Do you crave more authentic connection?

Taran has curated this event with the deepest desire to empower beings with awareness in every moment. Let’s do the work and play at the same time.

Emotions are energy in motion. Most people deal with them two unhealthy ways:

1) reacting to the intensity of the energy without having any awareness, causing harm to others and manifesting unwanted situations.

2) Suppress, distract, divert attention, look for positive logic, turn on the TV, anxiety binding behaviours (over business, overwhelm, stress) and even go to self-help books.

The effects of these two ways of dealing with emotions are immense on our physical, mental and spiritual state. Sometimes causing long-term effects such as depression, addiction to drugs, even cancer etc. When we suppress emotions like anger, we disempower ourself by not identifying that “was NOT okay”.

In this workshop you will:
1) identify your relationship with the 5 natural emotions: Grief, Anger, Envy, Fear, Love
2) Gain body awareness as these energies move through your body
3) Learn how to communicate vulnerably about your current state
4) Find your connection to your body in movement
5) Dance like you’ve never danced before
~ let the ego go by allowing your body to move the way it wants. No matter how it LOOKS like, I promise you that you
will be surprised.
~I will be playing some dope music that I’ve picked up this past year, you won’t want to miss out these global sounds~
