In writing biography, fact and fiction shouldn't be mixed. And if they are, the fiction parts should be printed in red ink, the fact parts in black ink." Catherine Drinker Bowen, US writer, historian
Presently we are running a range of courses and retreats for non professionals but also for massage therapists, shiatsu therapists, aromatherapists, estheticians, yoga teachers. We also provide one-on-one body work and consultations(coaching) for beginners in the spa industry who are thinking about transferring their skills to this interesting and exciting field.
Since 1999 we have been involved with the popularization of water birth in Ontario, following our own water based home birth. We provide resources for expectant families, including workshops, treatments and birth consultations.
Our life has been full, reasonably happy (with the ups and downs of a regular life cycle), and definitely more creative that it has been ten or fifteen years ago.Our mission seems to be to both serve our community and encourage our clients and students to embrace their unique gifts, and to guide their lives from the natural power of Hara rather then from their rational minds.
ABOUT INNER PEACE
"Responsibility does not only lie with the leaders of our countries or with those who have been appointed or elected to do a particular job. It lies with each of us individually.Peace, for example, starts within each one of us. When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us.
When we feel love and kindness towards others, it not only makes others feel loved and cared for, but it helps us also to develop inner happiness and peace. And there are ways in which we can consciously work to develop feelings of love and kindness.For some of us, the most effective way to do so is through religious practice. For others it may be non-religious practices.
What is important is that we each make a sincere effort to take our responsibility for each other and for the natural environment we live in seriously."
HH the Dalai Lama,The Nobel Lecture, December 11, 1989
