Deep Rest: Gentle Movement and Acupuncture

A two-part series Sundays January 14th and 21st, 2:30-4:30 PM, EST

Join Dr. Rachel Worth-Cappell, ND and Carly Travers for Deep Rest, a two-part restorative movement and acupuncture series in Combermere, ON. Deep Rest is an invitation to restore yourself during the dark nights of the year.

We’ll begin with gentle movement to use the body as a doorway to deepen awareness, followed by seasonally-oriented acupuncture and a guided meditation to orient to the winter season.

Winter is the time of kidneys in Chinese Medicine, a time that asks for us to be in stillness, contemplation and rest so that we can spring forth with the energy of spring. Deep Rest is an invitation to…rest, both because rest is our right, but also so we can continue to create a kinder, gentler world built from a foundation of abundance.

Where? Combermere Community Center, Combermere, ON

When? January 14th and 21st, 1-3 PM EST

How much? $100 for the series (2 sittings), or $65 for one sitting

*Community care: There are 3 seats available at Pay What You Can. The sliding scale is offered in good faith and on an individual basis. Payment plans are available for everyone who asks.

Medicine For Wood Season
Mar

2:00 PM14:00

Medicine For Wood Season

A workshop to support your transition from winter to spring through Chinese Medicine.

In Chinese Medicine, spring is the season of wood, associated with the liver. Spring is usually the time for a “spring detox,” which has some roots in Chinese Medicine’s call to support the liver during this season of growth.

Dr. Rachel will map this concept onto foraging, discussing respectful harvesting practices and which spring bitters that grow abundantly in the Madawaska Valley. You’ll end the workshop tasting spring bitters and concocting your own, non-alcoholic bitter tincture.

Location: The Bluebird Collective, Barry's Bay, ON

Cost: PWYC-$55. There is 1 seat available at PWYC, 1 seats at $22, 2 seats at $33, 2 seats at $44 and unlimited seats available at $55. The sliding scale is offered in good faith and on an individual basis. If you’re not sure what is accessible to you, please reach out and we can have a conversation regarding this.

The Dream Circle
Jan
9
to Jan 19

The Dream Circle

During the darker months, we, like trees, go back down into our roots to rest, collect and listen. As the land becomes quieter, our intuitive knowing becomes louder — this is the season of dreaming. ⁣During this dream season, join me for a four-part series to honour our individual and collective wisdom, remember our inner knowing and breathe life into our connection to spirit through dreams.

Circles will be interwoven with movement, breathwork, mindfulness practices, art, storytelling and history/herstory before we dive into our collective dreamwork. This way of dreamworking is informed by Dr. Christopher Sowton, ND’s work and centers the dreamer’s relationship to characters and symbols who reveal themselves in our dreams. This work requests us to remember with our intuitive ways of knowing, use open-ended questioning and actively participate in the circle to help the dreamer uncover messages given to them in dreams. This is more an unearthing than an analysis and more a remembering than a learning.

Our circle will also be supported by Xalish Medicines’ Cosmic Weaver flower essence. This flower essence help us to “navigate transitional times. To integrate all of the messages, downloads, ancestral love we are receiving while also healing traumas & old wounding.” ~Jacqui Wilkins, medicine maker/creator of Xalish Medicines.

If you feel called to unearth and remember, and you are ready to dive into the rich world of your dreams, join me this winter for The Dream Circle.

Dates: Circles will be held every other week from 6-9:30 PM, EST

-January 9th, January 23rd, February 6th, February 20th, March 6th

Location: This circle will be held over Zoom

Cost: $200⁣** (Payment plans are available) which includes:

~Four 3.5 hour circles

~A one-on-one session for post-circle support

~Herbal medicine flower essence from Xalish Medicines

**A sliding scale fee is available to folx who identify as BIPOC or LGBTQIA2S+ to acknowledge current and historical systems of oppression, as well the reality of generational wealth built on the stolen labour of brown and black bodies. 10% of the funds will go to support the Kanien’kehá:ka Land Back Language Camp in Dundee, ON

To register: Register by December 28th to allow for shipping of your medicine bundle from Xalish. A deposit of $88 is requested to hold your place in the circle. To register, e-transfer your deposit to rachel.worthcappell.nd@gmail.com with the message “Dream Circle.”

A note on my lineage: I acknowledge and offer deep bows to those who have held, and continue to hold, their indigenous ways of knowing despite colonial attempts of erasure. I offer this circle on unceded Algonquin territory with humility from my lineage as a North American settler from the European diaspora; it is my hope that it will be one of many catalysts for the gentle reclamation of our personal power in whatever lineage we come from.

Disclaimer: This workshop is not intended to be a replacement for advice from your healthcare providers, nor is it considered naturopathic treatment or counselling.

The Dream Circle
Dec

to Feb 9

The Dream Circle

Have you noticed yourself dreaming more these days?⁣

During the darker months, we, like trees, go back down into our roots to rest and collect and listen. As the land around us becomes quiet, our intuitive knowing speaks louder.

This is the season of dreaming. ⁣

On every continent, many traditions believed/believe dreams to be sacred messages from the divine, the land, ancestors, other planes of existence, or just unvarnished truths from our psyche.

Whomever the message comes from, it is not to be ignored. ⁣

In this dream season, join myself and Dr. Katia De Marco, ND for a five-part series to honour our individual and collective wisdom, inner knowing and connection to spirit through dreams.

The workshop will be interwoven with an introduction to the history and practice of dreamwork, somatic movement, breathing practices and intuition work, all to prepare ourselves for collective dream interpretation.⁣

This is very intimate work, so space is limited to 8. We dive deep starting Wednesday, December 15th.

Cost: $150⁣
A percentage of the cost will go to support programming for the Support Network for Indigenous Women and Women of Color (SNIWWOC).
