WORKSHOP #1 - Saturday, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm

CHERYL-ANN WEBSTER

It’s Time to Celebrate our Natural Beauty!

In a time when we are bombarded with messages that tell us we need to alter ourselves physically, I say its time to celebrate our natural beauty! Each morning we look in the mirror and make a judgement about our reflection. Most often that judgement is negative because it is based on a socially created image of beauty, not on true, natural beauty. As a result we feel dissatisfied with our appearance and in turn, with ourselves.

When we fully embrace our natural form, we start to live free of judgement. When we accept who we are, how we look and the choices we have made, all aspects of life improve; from what we say to ourselves to how others treat us.

In a safe and respectful setting, we will work in pairs to capture your beautiful form in plaster and then use the cast as a canvas for representing your life journey and spirit. This will be a time of reflection, of sharing and celebration as I guide you through the process of visual self-expression and exploration.

The workshop is limited to 12 women, so please don't hesitate to call with any questions and then register early.

THE COST OF THE WORKSHOP IS $20 PER WOMEN AND INCLUDES ALL MATERIALS.
(PLEASE NOTE: PRIVATE SESSIONS WILL ALSO BE AVAILABLE FOR WOMEN DURING THE RETREAT
FOR $80).

Cheryl-Ann Webster is an artist and sought-after motivational speaker. Her passion to make the world a better place leads her to create art that embraces social issues. Her current touring exhibition, the Beautiful Women Project, tackles the issue of body image and self-esteem.
Using her artwork as a foundation, she brings the message of self-acceptance to people of all ages. Speaking from the heart with humour and insight, Cheryl-Ann draws on her own experiences and current social realities to connect with audiences large and small.

 

 


WORKSHOP #2 - Saturday, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm

BRENDA ATKINSON

Sweat Lodge

Total Recall’s Sweat Lodge is a powerful and loving lodge.

The call to create a Sweat Lodge came to the women of Total Recall 5 years ago. The lodge has been offered every year since and has become a consistent and important part of our experience.

I invite you to listen. Maybe you are being called back to a sweat or maybe you are being called for the first time. This is an invitation to rebirth into your pure self. You have our promise that you will be supported and cared for during your time before, during and after the lodge.

Brenda Margaret Atkinson - I am a woman on a journey into the unknown. I seek Truth, Light, Love and Peace. I am and have been taught, challenged and cared for by many Teachers, Guides & Others in many cultures. They have powerfully and graciously encouraged, inspired and led me on my Search. I have a solid background in Sufi Mysticism, Native Traditions and Personal Growth and Development.

My Quest continues in the remote Sub-Arctic Indigenous Community of Churchill, Manitoba where I have access to Nature in its raw, primal magnificance. I support myself as the Manager of Northern Images Inuit Art Gallery & Store which is a division of Arctic Co-operative Ltd.

I am honoured to be coming once again to Total Recall.

PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED AND SPACE IS LIMITED. NOTE: ADD A $15 FEE FOR THE SWEAT
LODGE.

 

 

 

 

WORKSHOP #3 - Saturday, 9:00 am to 10:30 am

SAGEWALKER

The Mother Project

FINDING OUR PASSION THROUGH RESURRECTING COMPASSION FOR OUR MOTHERS.

In order to embody as a passionate woman, compassion must be birthed for our mother. As we dare to meet all of who she was or is, we look into one of our soul's most exacting mirrors. The Way we behold our mother, reflects how we “actually” see ourselves as women. And when we hold All of Her in the arms of love, compassion opens us and permits us to live passionately in every way!

For the journey: Bring photos of your mother, recollections of her darkness and light, her worst and best self. Her greatness and weaknesses. Bring your longing. Courage. And Kleenex.

Sagewalker, M.A., M.Ed is a psychotherapist, counselor, educator, mid-wife of the soul; working since 1970 with individuals, couples and groups in Canada, and internationally to resurrect the divine feminine, develop relationships as a spiritual path, wed spirituality and sexuality, and birth the soul through the labour of selftransformation.

WORKSHOP #5 - Saturday, 9:00 am - 10:30 am


ANGELA ALEXANDER-ROPER

The Passion of Parenting

Parenting is one of the most challenging and rewarding jobs you will ever experience. Most jobs provide training, yet here we are, with virtually no experience or training undertaking the 24/7 lifetime commitment of helping our children develop the skills needed to ensure they feel good about themselves, get along with others and experience success as they grow.

We all love and cherish our children, grandchildren and the young that come into our circle. My passion, training and experience have given me the calling to help others nurture, encourage and face the challenges that raising children present.

I will suggest strategies to help stop unwanted behaviours like whining, tantrums, bedtimes, mealtimes etc. You will also have the opportunity to learn strategies for wanted behaviours like listening, co-operating, manners, tidying up etc.

Angela Alexander-Roper is Mum to 4, Mamere to 7 and has worked with families for almost 40 years. She is an ECE who piloted a Grade 11 Family Studies Parenting Curriculum Link in the 80's for Hamilton School Boards and consulted with other boards and programs. She trained and delivered COPE (Community Parenting Education) in the community for many years. Angela worked with special needs children and their families, taught and mentored at risk women and trained in Conflict Resolution. She co-wrote a manual for parents and volunteers working with children and designed and implemented the program "Survival Strategies For 0 - 6 under an Early Years Ontario grant.

 

 

WORKSHOP #6 - Saturday, 9:00 am - 10:30 am

CRYSTAL TERRON

The Passion of Physical Fitness

Personal Fitness takes the stress out of working out. Certified Personal trainers come to your home with programs that are designed for you. Each program is created for each client.

Everyone has their own fitness goals and needs, as well as their specific limitations. The equipment is provided although you are encouraged to purchase you own to use in the future.

I will be covering 4 topics that I feel are the key reasons to include healthy living into our lives.
* Improving longevity through diet and exercise
* Improve mental health (depression)
* How to make exercise work for YOU
* Super Foods

Fitness isn't just about physical exercise. It has a big part, but there are many other aspects to it as well. As a personal trainer these 4 keys to living a healthy life, are important factors that I try to teach all my clients. Knowing what works for you and why, is an important part in healthy living.

My goal is to help you find out what your “Personal Fitness” path is and the different way in which to travel that road.

Crystal Terron has been in the fitness industry for 5 years. Having struggled with weight for most of her life, she understands the challenges that her clients have and are currently going through. She is wife, mother, and business owner. Healthy living is not only her job; it is her life. In order to keep on top of her game she has made fitness her priority.
