Persephone Beer Farm: Fibre Farm Launch!

Please join the Sunshine Coast Arts Council to celebrate the launch of the Sunshine Coast’s newest fibre arts and culture hub: Fibre Farm an Indigenous-led, disability justice centered, growing and gathering space! Art and fibre demos, storytelling, music, and a chance to participate in invasive species removal as you check-out the new accessible pathways, garden bed, fire pit, art studio, and deck.

It has taken a village to get this project off the ground, with funding from the Island Coastal Economic Trust, the BC Arts Council, alongside work from the incredible team at the SCAC and Persephone, and the generosity of local businesses like Salish Soils and Gibsons Building Supply, and the supportive community buzzing around this project- we couldn’t have done it without you! Please come out and celebrate the work that has been done, and the work that has just begun!

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.

Holistic Weight Loss & Wellness: Rebalancing Your Body in Midlife

Holistic Weight Loss & Wellness: Rebalancing Your Body in Midlife
If you’re a woman navigating midlife changes and feeling frustrated with weight gain, low energy, poor sleep, or shifts in your body that don’t feel like you, you’re not alone and it’s not your fault.
In this intimate and supportive workshop, holistic nutritionist and Metabolic Balance coach Sarah Cormack will guide you through a smarter, more sustainable approach to weight loss and wellness. This is not about dieting or restriction. It is about understanding your body, supporting your hormones, and creating lasting change that feels good.
You’ll learn how to experience healthy, sustainable weight loss, improve deep and restorative sleep, boost your energy and mood, and reduce cravings naturally so you can feel balanced, energized, and like yourself again.
This workshop is ideal for women 40+ who are ready to move beyond frustration and finally understand what their body needs in this season of life.

Seaside Centre: Coast Hospice Day

We welcome you to join us for the “Coast Hospice Day” community event at the Seaside Centre on Sunday, May 31, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Stop in to learn about Hospice’s community work. There will be BBQ burgers from the Lions Club, baked goods, raffle tickets, door prizes and great conversations. We will also have a space dedicated to viewing and discussing our “Living With Dying” documentary. Come and see how we use funds from our community, including those raised during Hike for Hospice.

Meet us at 10 a.m. to prepare and then participate in a group “Walk for Hospice” through town.

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
