Healing Wheel Evening Retreat
Our Sacred Self Love & Acceptance Cacao Ceremony & Energy Healing
Healing Wheels
While normally associated with the traditions of Indigenous people and communities, the healing wheel is, in fact, a pan-cultural, pan-temporal symbol found in one form or another on every continent.
In short, the healing wheel is a symbol of the entire creation that sanctions sacred space for the purposes of prayer, meditation, and deepening our understanding of our relationships to ourselves and the timeless aspects of creation (the universe).
Modern medicine has affirmed what we have felt for a while, chronic stress and anxiety are damaging to all systems of the body. Albeit, stress is a major contributor to mental, emotional, and physical health. It also contributes to fatigue, lack of inspiration, and to every part of your body from head to toe. Consequently, it destroys our ability to deal with life’s challenges creatively.
This journey takes you to a beautiful wheel at Aurora Wellness where we will focus on your personal vision & healing. We will guide and support you in enriching your spiritual, physical, and emotional health through energy healing, Bemer Vascular healing (blood flow is so important to recover and restore our bodies), meditation & crystal manifestation and our loving cacao ceremony accompanied with crystal bowl sound therapy.
Healthy Mind-Body Connection
Your body has its own intelligence, it feeds on not just the food you eat, but everything you say, think and do. The key to living a healthier life is treating your body with both kindness and discipline. Learn to set healthy boundaries, manage your stress and change your negative self-beliefs.
The main goal is to assist you in creating a healthy mind-body-soul connection. A healthy functioning Wheel:
- Clearing & Balancing your Chakras
- Release stagnate energy/blocks
- Increase your vibration
- Relax & Rejuvenate
- Help you start living an incredible life of deeper meaning, fulfillment, peace, and well being
- Treat yourself to some "ME" time
- Experience beautiful shifts
- Encounter energy, frequencies, and vibrations
- Release stress, anxiety, trauma, and grief
- And more...
We each have the power to change our environment and our reality by changing thought vibration. It makes matter manifest. It all comes down to your personal vibration.
If you are like me, all I wanted was fulfillment and happiness.
Raise your vibration and step into your own healing story. We are programmed and wired in a certain way throughout our life situations. So let’s rewire to love ourselves fully and completely the way it is meant to be.
3 things impact the love for yourself:
Mind
Emotions
Energy
I literally know, when my vibration of love is HIGH, there is nothing I can’t have, create or experience.
Because when I am vibrating high, I vibrate at the exact frequency that the amount of happiness, money, growth, contribution, connection and love that I desire knows exactly how to find me.
We would like to show you how to do the same…
Introducing the Healing Wheel Retreat!
What your Healing Wheel Retreat Will Look Like
You will start your evening with our loving cacao ceremony, learning how to care for you; your body and mind.
Your meditation will have you wrapped in blankets and covered in healing crystals to help invoke your intentions you lovingly placed in your cup. Everything is energy and the belief is that the high vibrations of crystals affect and interact with the body’s own energy field. The high vibrations of a crystal can turn the dial up on your own energy or it can get to work redirecting or channeling energies that can cleanse any blockages in the chakras and bring the body, mind, and soul into alignment.
What is a Cacao Ceremony?
Cacao Ceremony is a beautiful ritual that slows us down and connects us to ourselves, others and nature. Manifesting from and for the HEarth — this sacred ritual will create beauty beyond comprehension. The sacred plant medicine of Cacao has the power to transform the vibrations of your body towards their highest form. This guided ceremony is a therapeutic journey where one is enabled to touch the Divine Light and Darkness and become Oneness from within.
In our Sacred Self Love & Acceptance Cacao Ceremony we use a loving & transcendental blend that will lead you out of the keyed-up state of fight or flight, relax and release any muscle tension, let go of emotional baggage, as you let the warmth & love caress you.
There’s something very loving about taking time to connect with your cup of cacao – feeling it in your hands – inhaling the fragrance – just really connecting with it.
When you take the time to become aware and notice what your body needs, you prioritize your time to make your body a better place.
Cacao can be a vehicle of focus for returning to our center and invoking peace and calm. In our cacao ceremony, we hold space for one another and ourselves to feel the subtle rising of energies that accompany the cacao as we drink.
The healing spokes of our Wheel
Indulge in an unforgettable, 4-hour candlelit journey where you'll experience six distinct holistic healing modalities to relax and restore.
We will be gathered in a circle for our healing cacao ceremony with guided gentle breathwork. Dissolving into silence, and meditation we then reconnect with the sacred ground. (60 mins)
Arising you will then move into the 2.5 hour candlelit, healing wheel with our 3 certified energy practitioners and relaxing Bemer vascular mat therapy to enhance your blood-flow for healing the body and mind.
BEMER CAN ENHANCE:
• Oxygen Delivery
• Local Blood Flow
• Muscle Conditioning
• Recovery
• Performance
• Physical Fitness
• Muscular Strength
• Endurance & Energy
• Vitality & Well-Being
• Stress Reduction & Relaxation
Closing Circle ( aproximatly 30 mins)
In our Healing Wheel Circle you can experience Entrainment.
"If you’ve ever been in the presence of a deeply calm person, or perhaps a spiritual master, you may have noticed something quite intriguing. Your breathing will tend to slow down, and the body settles into a relaxed state. In short, the powerful resonance of the serene energy field of a regular mediator, or spiritual master, has the capacity to influence you, and you will find that you naturally sync to their tranquil and expanded consciousness. This process is called ‘entrainment’ and it can also be used consciously by people working in trauma, yoga teachers, parents, in the workplace or in any relationships.
The gravitational pull towards synchronicity is one of the founding principles of the natural world. It is observable in our everyday lives and immortalized by the theories of Quantum physics. This basic law of physics teaches us that everything in the universe is made up of particles or waves, vibrating like strings at different frequencies. From the cells in our own bodies to the light and sound waves that echo through the universe. Within these vibrational phenomena, resonating particles will communicate with, and influence each other.
The vibrational frequency of two objects in contact will frequently fall into sync. When the frequencies are the same, it is called ‘resonance’. When a vibrational body of a stronger resonance influences another in its field, leading the beat, it is called entrainment.
Our bodies naturally entrain to external rhythms without us really noticing. The leading beat may come from a piece of music; influencing our internal rhythm through waves of sound. It may be the waves of light which set our circadian rhythms. Phases of the moon entrain hormonal cycles, and our own breath influences our heart beat and respiration.
In coming to understand the power of entrainment and the effect it can have on our being, we can use it to harmonize and heal our physical, emotional and spiritual bodies." - The Healing Power of Entrainment - uplift.love
The Healing Wheel Retreat is our signature program that comprises a holistic integrative approach designed to tune in on the physical, emotional and spiritual levels, allowing an organic healing process to naturally unfold. This begins by attuning to your authenticity and honouring your highest potential.

I am a certified Bio Energy Healer
and teacher for 7 years.
What I have come to know in my personal life and the lives of all the people I've worked with is that every trauma, challenge, and wound comes bearing a gift and some wisdom our Soul needs.
Once I opened up to finding the wisdom (lessons) and letting go of my past trauma & grief that I was able to believe in the strong, loving, compassionate and capable woman that I am today. I began to live the life of my dreams.
Knowing how trauma, grief and stress show up in our bodies and mind, and knowing how to release them with energy healing; have enabled me to help others on releasing what no longer serves them, so they may live a more balanced and loving life.
Awareness is Key;
As you become more clear about the pain and patterns you carry and when you are willing to allow self-healing and peace, you begin your own transformation.
I am going to use an Oprah-ism: "Here's what I know for sure" ... If we have a deep enough desire in our heart to create lasting change and commit to staying in the fire of transformation we will absolutely manifest our dreams and desires. I believe we are capable of achieving just about anything we set our intentions towards, especially if it's to benefit all of humanity. Our value as a human being isn’t based on the size of our bank accounts, the number we see on the scale, the color of our skin, or our education. What and who we are is beyond this world, we are remarkable beings with the ability to rise to the stars. We can and will create positive and lasting change on this planet – all we need do – is just commit to the healing journey.

Several yrs ago the Jill I knew was making herself sick so she decided to heal herself. She went to different practitioners and learnt different modalities along her way . The one that resonated the most with her is bio energy healing which involves client setting an intention to create their goal for change as she clears the energy out of their chakras/energy field with specific hand movements so the client can move forward into their intention with added benefits of intuition, insight, joy and lightness.

Sacred Self Love & Acceptance Tea Ceremony
Our Sacred Self Love & Acceptance Tea Ceremony & Meditation
LOOKING TO HAVE YOUR OWN PRIVATE TEA CEREMONY WITH YOUR FRIENDS OR WORK COLLEAGUES?
Tea Ceremony is a beautiful ritual that slows us down and connects us to ourselves, others and nature. Through tea ceremony we start seeing Magic in the ordinary or in the mundane, and are able to feel and experience life more fully.
In our Sacred Self Love & Acceptance we use a loving & transcendental blend that will lead you out of the keyed-up state of fight or flight, relax and release any muscle tension, let go of emotional baggage, as you let the warmth & love caress you.
There’s something very loving about taking time to connect with each herb – feeling it in your hands – inhaling the fragrance – just really connecting with it.
When you take the time to become aware and notice what your body needs, you prioritize your time to make your body a better place.
Tea can be a vehicle of focus for returning to our center and invoking peace and calm. In our herbal tea ceremony, we hold space for one another and ourselves to feel the subtle rising of energies that accompany the tea and herbs as we drink.
Buddhist monk and teacher Thich Nhat Hanh speaks often of the peace that comes with drinking tea:
“I drink the tea, the essence of the leaves becoming a part of me. I am informed by the tea, changed. This is the act of life, in one pure moment, and in this act the truth of the world suddenly becomes revealed:
All the complexity, pain, drama of life is a pretense, invented in our minds for no good purpose.
There is only the tea and me, converging.”
You will enjoy your day with our loving tea ceremony, learning how to care for you; your body and mind.
Your meditation will have you wrapped in blankets and covered in healing crystals to help invoke your intentions your lovingly placed in your tea.
Calm the mind, Rejuvenate the body, Harmonize your soul

Time: 7 - 9 pm

Walking Meditations on the Beach!
Walking Meditations with Symbolic Intention Settings
"If we're really engaged in mindfulness while walking we will consider the act of each step we take as an infinite wonder, and a joy will open our hearts like a miraculous and mysterious reality."
~ from the Miracle of Mindfulness by Thich Nhat Hanh
Are you looking to calm your mind, rejuvenate your body and harmonize your soul?
We will immerse ourselves in the serene atmosphere of a nature walk on beautiful Vancouver Island, which can be an enlightening experience. When we deeply settle into our bodies and breath, all busy thoughts to the outside world will subside and you will be able to tune into your senses, to master your intentions with a clearer, more direct quality of perception.
Walking Meditations help us to relax into our sense perceptions, not trying to get our experiences to come out a particular way, it is possible to have a glimpse of things as they truly are. Here we will connect to a deeper understanding of the beauty and magic in the natural world while we master our intentions to bring harmony and balance to our souls.
At the beginning of our walking meditations, there will be a brief discussion on the tools (healing cards, & Crystals ) that may help you to create your intentions and the Law of Attraction and how to be OPEN to RECEIVE your intentions.
As humans we feel a great need to attach meanings to symbols and have always used them to speak to us as a way of showing us where our attentions lay and as an aide in self reflection.
You will be given the opportunity, if you wish, to draw three items (for the mind, body and soul) on your walk. When choosing a card, you may ask for guidance around a specific relationship, pattern, or circumstance. You may also ask for a general card to speak to you in the present moment.
The purpose of this is to meditate on the positive healing attributes of the items and feel
where the symbol/ or meaning fits in your life at the moment. Are these attributes and meanings
something we need to believe in for ourselves? Is there someone in our lives
that is really important right now. How does this fit in our here and now.
We will then walk 20 minutes in quiet meditation reflecting on the positive characteristics of the healing card.
Second draw Abundance card describes a journey. From what is drawn, where is this journey - beginning, middle of or nearing an end. Is it a physical journey, an emotional one, a career or lifestyle journey? How does the first card work with the second?
We will continue to walk 20 minutes in quiet meditation joining the characteristics of the first card with
the journey of the second card.
Last draw is a crystal for you to keep. These come as a gift from Mother Nature
herself. Is she sending you wisdom, strength or healing? Keep this in the palm of your
hand as you walk the last 20 minutes reflecting on your messages
We will close with a thank you to Mother Earth for what she provides for us, what she teaches us and how she heals us!
book a private session for you and your friends!
Your investment into learning walking meditations - $15 per person. Small groups (6 guests) includes meditation download & healing crystal
Rain or shine. Covid-19 safety protocols & social distancing in place.
Meeting place will be announced!

Are you Curious to try new alternative ways to heal?
I am both a practitioner and student of Eden Energy medicine (entering 3rd year of studies), I’ve also trained in Bio Energy Healing and Reiki. During a EEM session, I listen to the body’s cues which you may experience as physical and emotional symptoms, and I am able to shift energy using gentle hand placements and off body techniques to restore optimal flow and balance. Each treatment is unique as to what you are needing in that moment. Treating the whole body allows it to do what it does best – relax and heal itself. I am passionate about helping you discover your own balance for truly empowered health!

Marma Therapy Treatment or Private Yoga with Kelsey
Marma Therapy Treatment or Private Yoga with Kelsey
Hello! My name is Lois. I am an intuitive medium and energy worker.
I came into my intuitive journey 8 years ago, after discovering my physic abilities through a mentor. Following this discovery I began a two year period of intensive learning, with various courses, workshops, and personal mentorship - which allowed me to strengthen and hone my skills.
In the last two years, I have provided readings and energy work to clients in my home. And most recently I’ve made intuitive mediumship a full-time career.
In all my work with clients, I strive to ground and connect. With my guidance, I like to connect them with mother earth and their higher source. I am passionate about making these connections for those I read, as I believe it creates a deeper and more meaningful experience.
I joyfully look forward to making connections during this Wellness series.

Sharing the sweetness of Ayurveda
I've been immersed in Ayurveda and yoga - studying, living, teaching, and simply being completely in love with them both! - for nearly 15 years. With a cancer (the sign of nurturing) ruled 10th house and exalted Venus (the planet of beauty) in the 6th house of health and healing in my astrological chart, I am naturally drawn to sharing the sweetness of the daily self-care methods and treatment practices that nurture wellness and beauty from the inside out - not only leaving us feeling radiant and at our best, but full of vitality, vibrancy, clarity, and self-connection.
This 50-hour, 8-day intensive is a certification program designed to educate and prepare you to be empowered and clear on your personal path to self-health and radiance as well as to teach and practice these Ayurveda treatments and methods for natural wellness and beauty within your community or around the world.
Ayurvedic wellness and beauty practitioner
An Ayurvedic wellness and beauty practitioner improves clients quality of life through teaching and practicing Ayurveda treatments and methods that promote whole-self-health.
The treatments and methods work on internal and external levels to balance doshas, reduce stress, eliminate toxins, improve tissue nutrition, and enhance tissue quality so that the individual can experience the wellness and resulting radiance that is inherent in each one of us.
The training will provide you with the education and experience to have exquisite self-care that cultivates your personal wellness and beauty, and to offer guidance, education, and treatments in professional settings.
This is a standalone training that can get you started as an Ayurvedic Wellness and Beauty Practitioner, as well as a fantastic addition to current massage therapy, holistic consulting, Ayurveda consulting, Yoga teaching, or esthetician work.
