Your resilient neighbourhood begins at home: a practical intro

This 2 hour workshop is sponsored and hosted by St Hilda’s (Anglican Church in Sechelt) Green Parish Action Team and is presented by Nicole Hartley Bradford, a global Regenerative Culture Experimenter and Trainer.

The workshop will occur during the Season of Creation, a time of year when many Christian groups bring focus to appreciating and better stewarding this beautiful Earth.

The goals of the workshop are for you to leave feeling enthusiastic about having come, having met people who listened, heard, felt and shared precious information and possibility for real-world action that will be fun and easy to take, and with a sense of having more resources and agency than before for your path into the future.

For this goal to be reached:

No religious dogma will be delivered, and no adherence to Christianity is required to join.

We will do practical exercises designed to empower possible steps you can each take to reduce anxiety about the current times by building:
– agency,
– connection,
– trust,
– personal food and water pantries,
– personal and/or community food gardens and water caches, and
– access to ever more possibility as time rolls on.

The Workshop Outline:

Circle Convergence
Welcome, What to Expect and Group Agreements.

In small groups and with the whole group, work with these questions:
Who are you and what brought you here today?
What do you worry will happen if food prices keep rising or food accessibility becomes more limited?
What action have you taken so far to mitigate your worries?
Given what you have shared and heard here so far, what do you want to create to have more resilience, less stress and more resources?

Hear from Nicole about what she has done so far personally in her own game of “Becoming more prepared and resilient during uncertain times.”

Become an Experimenter.
Discover and design your next experiment, and next steps.

Final feelings, thoughts and appreciation.
Circle Divergence

Donations for the St Hilda’s Green Parish Action Team’s ongoing projects will be gladly received.
Suggested Donation: $2 – 20.

So begins a choose-your-own-adventure game that you can play according to what is most important and relevant to you, during and beyond the workshop.

New Women’s Workshop: Pelvic Floor & Deep Core Health

Many women experience leaking, prolapse, tension, numbness, instability, or disconnection from this important area of the body — yet few of us were ever taught how to truly work with these muscles and energies.

We’ll explore:
– pelvic floor & deep core awareness & strengthening
– chi & fascial support system development
– movement, breath & meditation
– emotional healing & Sacred Feminine practices
– activation of the 5 inner diaphragms and the body’s natural pleasure channel !

This workshop explores an area of the body that profoundly affects reproductive and digestive health, posture, stability, energy, nervous system regulation, emotional wellbeing, and vitality — yet is rarely taught in an integrated way.

Together we’ll explore:
– pelvic floor & deep core strengthening
– chi & fascial support system development
– movement, breath & meditation
– emotional healing & Sacred Feminine practices
– activation of the 5 inner diaphragms and the body’s natural pleasure channel

Many of you know me through Nia, Yoga, Somatic WAve™, fascia release, meditation, or other movement and healing practices I offer at Inner Moves Wellness Center in Gibsons.

This is gentle yet powerful work for women wanting greater awareness, support, vitality, and connection within themselves (PS. much more than kegels).

Experience safe space for learning and open discussion.

A special discount is offered for returning participants!

If this resonates with you, I’d love to have you join us.

Assertive Communication Workshop

Do you often replay conversations afterwards, wishing you’d spoken up — or worry that being more direct might upset someone or create tension? This small-group workshop is for people who tend to people-please, avoid conflict, or second-guess themselves, even when they know their needs matter.

The first half of the workshop focuses on understanding what assertiveness is and why it can feel so hard to put into action. We’ll explore common communication patterns, the role of the nervous system in moments of discomfort or conflict, and why many people freeze, over-explain, or stay quiet rather than risk being misunderstood or creating conflict.

After a 30-min break, the second half provides space to apply what you’ve learned. Participants are encouraged (but never required) to bring real-lif
