SUMMARY:An Ocean of Compassion
DESCRIPTION:Meetings with Candace in the Sanctuary\, a place of refuge\, are an invitation to rest and join with others in a safe\, slow and sacred space. \nCandace will guide the group in gentle practices and engage in dialogue with participants that invite a deep resting into an “Ocean of Compassion”. \nTogether we will come to recognize that the safety\, warmth and compassion that we long for is the very ground we stand on; the air we breathe and the sacred space that we occupy.  Everything is here to remind us that we belong to this moment and to each other. \n“When times are urgent let us slow down and notice how indebted we are to the ground.” ~ Bayo Akomolafe \n“Candace has a quality of depth\, tenderness\, gentle curiosity\, warmth and sincerity that naturally invites settling and deep rest. The nurturing slowness and softness of her voice communicates\, “it’s safe here”. \n(Event sessions will be recorded and available to all participants) \n

SUMMARY:The Unadorned Beauty of Being Here (Day 3 of 3)
DESCRIPTION:Meetings with Candace in the Sanctuary are an invitation to rest and join with others in a safe and sacred space. \nCandace will guide the group in gentle practices and dialogue that invite resting into the present moment where we will practice listening gently to what is arising here both inside and outside. \nBringing attention to what’s happening outside is a way to support and connect with what’s happening inside even though there really is no difference. No inside. No outside. Everything is appearing in the same open field of awareness. \nThe sound of birdsong; clenched jaw; a gentle breeze; sunlight coming in through the window; the sound of the dishwasher; cool air; flickering candle light; tension; the crunch of gravel; physical pain; tears; the far off sound of traffic; busy mind; body softening. \nEverything is waiting for us here. \n\n“It was what I was born for – to look\, to listen\, to lose myselfinside this soft world.”~ Mary Oliver \n\n(Event sessions will be recorded and available to all participants)

SUMMARY:The Great Mother
DESCRIPTION:Held in the warm embrace of the Great Mother – Healing the Mother Wound\nMany of us were not raised with the kind of tender and loving support we needed when we were children. We didn’t have a fierce and loyal protector or a safe and reassuring lap to crawl into when we were scared. This created\, what I call\, a wound of absence in our physiology. A soul wound. A gnawing emptiness that seeks to be filled. It is the birthplace of addiction\, self-loathing\, unhealthy relationships and alienation from ourself and each other. \nIn the words of Gabor Mate: In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts; “From the latin word vulnerare\, ‘to wound’\, vulnerability is our susceptibility to be wounded. This fragility is part of our nature and cannot be escaped. The best the brain can do is to shut down conscious awareness of it when pain becomes so vast or unbearable that it threatens to overwhelm our capacity to function. \nWhen we flee our vulnerability\, we lose our full capacity for feeling emotion. We may even become emotional amnesiacs\, not remembering ever having felt truly elated or truly sad. A nagging void opens\, and we experience it as alienation\, as profound as ennui\, as the sense of deficient emptiness.” \nThe Great Mother is the Archetype of unconditional loving and tender compassion. An immense warmth and welcoming rooted firmly in the present moment. She opens her arms and invites us into her robust lap of comfort and gentle reassurance. She soothes the places inside that are worn and weary. She is never more than a whisper away. \n\nWe are born of love; Love is our mother.~ Rumi \n\nJoin Candace Kirby and Jessica Holland for a 3 week event as we weave stories and gentle practices around the healing presence of The Great Mother Archetype followed by questions and dialogue with the participants. \nJessica HollandInspired by fairytales and myth\, a storyteller at heart.Rooted in animism\, nature\, cyclical and seasonal living.Herbalist\, pattern breaker and student of the nervous system. \nCandace KirbyThe gentle heart of a poet\, counsellor and spiritual mentor. Candace specializes in working with trauma\, the nervous system and the role of trauma in spiritual awakening.

Perhaps for the first time\nLearn to trust that the Love you long for is already and always here and that you are not separate from that Love\nKnow yourself as you really are\n\n\n“You do not have to walk on your kneesfor a hundred miles through the desert repenting.You only have to let the soft animal of your bodylove what it loves.” ~ Mary Oliver – Wild Geese \n\nIn this course we will engage in teachings\, simple present moment practices; meditation\, grounding\, orientation and creative practices followed by questions and dialogue. \nThis is a slow and gentle process. \nRegistration includes: \n\nAccess to all 8 live classes.\nAll class audio recordings.\nWeekly homework practices and primings for upcoming topics.\n\nCost:\n$160.00$80.00 (Returning Students)(Sliding scale rates available for first time students) \nPlease private message or email candacekirby@shaw.ca for registration for the information event.
