IN PERSON NESTLED IN THE BREATH TAKING CANADIAN ROCKY MOUNTAINS - Facilitated by Dr. Monika Herwig ND, EMPOWERMENT & Well-beinG TRANSFORMATIONAL COACH & EDUCATOR, YOGA THERAPIST, Feminine Power Facilitator

Note: If you would like to have Dr. Monika lead this fFeminine Power Breakthrough Process with yourself and a group of colleagues or friends in your community that option is now available.

These are exciting times🦋!

We are awakening to a new stage of evolution where WE are TRULY ALIGNING WITH THE NORTH STAR of THRIVING!🙂

We want to feel fully alivE, PReSENT, ENGAGED IN THE HIGHER EXPRESSIONS OF OUR LIVES. To live, work and love without holding back and to give the unique gifts inside us in a way that is fulfilling and impactful (*with our own well-being in mind!).

We are redefining success on our own terms.

Transformational teacher and the founder of the Women Centered Leadership and Coaching Institute, Dr. Claire Zammit PhD, saw that the power needed to create in the areas of life where there is no step by step formula (but a deep heart desire/yearning) can’t be sourced from the predominant masculine system of power which is logical, strategic and linear. The creative power she discovered that WAS needed she termed “Feminine Power”.

Dr. Claire uncovered 3 key centers (“Feminine Power Centers”) that when tapped into consciously through simple practices and mindset shifts give us access to this creative, connected, generative, intuition-based' ‘Feminine Power’.

We are super excited and honoured to share this paradigm shifting work with you in an experiential, low investment way with this “Feminine Power Weekend Breakthrough.” Past participants have shared that the weekend was literally a “life-changing” experience.

Offering this at this time in human history when the brilliance, creativity, love and wisdom of women’s voices and contributions are needed more than ever feels important. We believe women truly hold the power to together birth a new world that honours connection, life, beauty, joy, togetherness and well-being in a fresh, connected, new way.

THE WEEKEND FLOW

Friday, 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM MST (online) (Opening Circle, Introductions, Shared Agreements, Intention Setting)

Saturday, 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM MST (Lunch break 12:30 - 2 pm)

(includes rejuvenating Yoga Nidra Integration)

Sunday, 9:00 AM - 5::00 PM MST (Lunch break 12:30 - 1:30 pm)

(Includes Cacao meditation and Art Collage integration))

You’ll be sharing your weekend with an intimate group of conscious, fun loving, growth mindset, soulful, powerful women supporting one another in igniting and amplifying your power as creators (vs reactors) in your life!

The group format is potent in this work where another woman’s breakthrough and sharing has the power to catalyze your own.👑

During our time you'll be guided to create a breakthrough in one or two of these 8 key life areas:

1. living from authentic confidence, 2. attracting/deepening love and meaningful relationships, 3. discovering your purpose, 4. expanding your prosperity in a way that is aligned, 5. creating radiant health and vitality, 6. reigniting creative expression, play and joy 7. deepening your connection to your intuition, peace and a higher power, 8. expanding your power to impact the world with your gifts and passions.

You will discover:

1. What Feminine Power is and why it is key in creating the life you were born to live

2. What the 3 Feminine Power Centers are and how to “unlock” their creative power

3. How to step into a vision for your future that inspires you

4. How to identify & shift the #1 inner barrier that has held you back from success up until now

5. How to connect to the inner knowing/guidance you need to help you navigate your true path

6. The power that opens up to you when you’re supported consciously by a group of women

Experiential exercises, meditations, embodiment practices, journaling, reflection and group sharing will be woven through our time bringing the ideas, practices and mindset shifts alive so you leave with not only really cool, evolutionary information but personal profound insights that will have you be fully in the driver’s seat of your life with a map and keys that will set you on a path of creating in alignment with the deepest, truest part of you.

Your retreat facilitators are trained to create containers for growth and transformation for women by the world leader in this. You can fully relax and open to this tried and true process knowing we are on this journey together and that this is a space where there is 100% confidentiality and full permission to be both brilliant and imperfect!

IT. IS. TIME! 🙌

We have incredible capacity to create not only in our personal lives but also to be agents of positive change in the world. The generations of women before you paved the path for you and now is time to create afresh for the thriving of generations to come. Super exciting!

IS IT FOR ME RIGHT NOW?

Please read this section to determine if this offering is best for you at this time ❤️

This event is for you if you are ready to make the shift into leading your life in a way that is even more aligned with YOU at the deepest level. Feminine power is a power that is rooted in connection with self, others and Life in a way that nourishes and expands. You step into flow.

The event is ideal for women who enjoy the sisterhood, wisdom and support of learning and evolving together. We believe this weekend ‘s teachings and the breakthrough process is transformative especially for any woman who feels called to their own empowerment/best life and are a stand for the empowerment of others.

Due to the transformational nature of this event it is best engaged when there is stability and a basic sense of empowerment in your life. The context of the retreat is not designed for deep therapy or working with unprocessed past traumas. If you are currently on psychotropic medications and/or in a deep process of healing (such as processing a grief/loss/trauma) this process is likely not best engaged at this time.

If you are unsure if the timing is right given your current life circumstances and have questions please reach out to us and we’ll come to clarity together.🦋

WHERE:

Friday night we will be using the zoom platform and will send links out beforehand.

Saturday and Sunday will be in person at a studio in Canmore

For the online portion we suggest you take some time beforehand to intentionally create sacred space in whatever may feels nourishing and supportive to you - candles, essential oils, plan a bath for the evening, a walk at breaks, have water/tes/snacks ready beforehand, etc. Imagine you are setting up the person you love most in the world to have a lovely evening. 🌷 Note: Due to the confidential nature of this event choose a place to attend where others in your life will not be overhearing the sessions.

TUITION: $555 CAD Early bird - room for 8

WHAT PAST GRADUATES HAVE SAID ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCE …

(Check out Google Reviews for more!)

“I attended Monika's 3 Day Breakthrough Weekend Workshop and it was amazing! Monika held a gentle yet powerful space for all participants to be seen and heard, something we don't usually get to experience in this fast paced world we live in. She led us through exercises that helped me clarify a lot of unanswered questions I had in my business. The tools she gave us helped me find the direction I needed to take in my business that felt heart centered and authentic. With her guidance, I experienced a shift from overwhelm to a feeling of expansion and possibility, which gave me the confidence to continue creating a life I love.”

Betty Torres, Transformation Life Coach for Change Makers and Creatives

“I highly recommend this incredible program. It was a chrysalis for transformation. The facilitators tended to the needs of the individuals and the group with a beautiful flow of shared experiences and transformational body exercises further deepening the learnings and wisdom of our feminine power. I now have powerful tools to integrate these practices into my day to day life to navigate life and to powerfully create my life. Thank you Dr. Monika continuing to offer cutting edge programs for empowerment. I am now able to gracefully transform from the caterpillar to the butterfly!”

LeighAnn Betts, Life Coach, Kate King Vibrational Consultant

“Monika is an amazing woman who really knew how to get me to tap into myself to bring out my true self. I had been going through depression for a couple of years, if not more. My experience with the Empowering Women retreat was exactly what I needed and gave me a deeper understanding of myself. I was stuck in a rut, went to counselling, and tried self help books, but none of those really got me out of my depression.

This retreat was exactly what I needed to be able to move forward with my happiness and fulfillment of life. The best thing that has ever happened to me.

I am truly grateful for this experience.”

Venus Khan, Anything is Possible for this Fun-loving, Wise, Rooted, Creative Genius!

“Wow. Monika has a gift in setting an incredibly safe container for her workshops. This set the tone and enabled a powerful, transformative and healing experience. Thank you Dr. Herwig for sharing your gift to guide women in finding and sharing theirs.”

Stephanie, Occupational Therapist, Mother, Changemaker, Visionary

“I can not say enough great things about Dr. Monika. I attended her wellness retreat this weekend and I walked away a new person. The connection I felt, and the knowledge I gained will forever stay within me. Thank you so much!!”

IN PERSON AT THE GORGEOUS BANFF YOGA PRACTICE STUDIO IN THE BREATH TAKING CANADIAN ROCKIES

These are exciting times🦋!

We are awakening to a new stage of evolution where women are not willing to simply get by or go through the motions.

We have been amazed at the impact Feminine Power principles and Power Center practices already have had in our confidence and ability to create in the areas of our lives that matter most but had us stuck/feeling powerless in the past.

We are super excited and honoured to share this paradigm shifting work with you in an experiential, low investment way with this “Feminine Power Weekend Breakthrough.” Past participants have shared that the weekend was literally a “life-changing” experience.

Mind-Body-Soul Reconnection & Renewal Weekend for NDs

This is for you if you are an ND who is a mom, who works with moms and children or is planning on having a family in the near future and would enjoy some R & R to stay resourced yourself or to pull a POWER MOVE in the direction of your own advocacy and self-loving. You are worth it!!! (-:

The time you take for your own healing as a mom and caregiver is priceless. The fresh air, forests, mountains and rivers (and just getting away) give us fresh perspective.  This is a container for you to reconnect with yourself, reset and feel supported.

Come and recharge with like-minded colleagues (soul sistahs!) and leave with potent tools to support you and your children as well as your patients.

This is for you if you are invested in parenting consciously and having more JOY and less tension in your life in general.

My intention is that this has a 'come-as-you-are-pyjama-party' feel. It's all about you - no need to impress anyone about anything here - fully let yourself relax and let go. This retreat will attract amazing women ... you will be in great company.

Why come?

Motherhood and Entrepreneurship are two of most intense paths for personal development and creating time to reset and a sisterhood to support is essential in avoiding burnout and other health issues. Recharging with a retreat is like putting money in the bank. When you invest in your own self-care and empowerment and joy you are doing far more for your children than any money you are putting away for them. Gosh I know I am speaking to the choir - we talk self-care with every patient - but honestly how filled up are we keeping ourselves.  Your children thrive on being with the unstressed, present you.

It is easy as NDs and mothers to feel like we have to have it all together all the time and our energy often flows predominantly outward towards those we're caring for. This mini-retreat is a place and time to direct all that caring inward to YOURSELF within the container of other women who share similar passions and values as you. 

If you are a mom or work with them you know that  giving without receiving is not sustainable. The time to nurture you is ... now ... possibly even yesterday. lol Taking time to be still and fill ourselves up is so essential.

Doctor Heal Thy Self

One big piece of the retreat will be to experience the different ways we can bring Yoga Nidra to ourselves, our mama clients and children and their families starting preconception. 

Yoga Nidra is a simple, lying down/seated guided mindfulness mediation that any of your clients can do to empower them to put themselves tangibly in touch with their own healing forces. Nidra will make everything else they are doing with you be more potent.

I have been sharing Yoga Nidra in group with the moms here in Canmore, with my clients 1-on-1 and with moms on the West Coast and the feedback has been incredible. Nidra is so inline with our Naturopathic tenets - it covers them all actually - including true teaching and empowerment of our clients and addressing the root cause.

Why this Retreat?

Here's the low down for you. I have been very fortunate to take the Amrit Yoga Nidra Facilitator 10 Day Program, and the week-long Advanced Training.  I paid around $5000 to complete and attend the trainings and needed to take 3 weeks total off work.  It was a big commitment and I have fallen in love with it for myself and the population I work with.

Yoga Nidra is such a good fit for NDs but I know how hard it can be to get away for long periods of time (especially when the kids are little) to do this type of training.  I am breaking it down so you can have the key pieces of my learnings that I found most practical and beneficial for you as an ND, for your children and your patients ... and get deeply nourished yourself.

To be clear the yoga nidra sessions are just one piece of the weekend. The intention of the weekend is restoration and connection. You will not be a certified yoga nidra facilitator but you will be able to easily bring the nidra (and its benefits) to your practice and family through the supported materials that come with the weekend retreat as you like.

Rocky Mountain Restorative and Empowerment Retreat for Mamas in Transition or on the Edge of One. Regardless of the nature of your transition - whether it is tied to work, relationship,  sense of purpose,  an internal shift in consciousness or just a feeling of "something needs to change!", simple practices that keep you grounded and centered and allow you to be buoyant in the face of change and uncertainty are potent. This retreat is a "come as you are pyjama party" - a place to relax, recharge, learn, play and create the space for your own wisdom and the wisdom of your fellow mamas to emerge.

The practices are simple and not only acknowledge the reality of being a mama but work with the gifts of that and create a home life that nourishes. The practices are for working and stay at home moms alike and take into account that this is a very full time in your life.

Feeling overwhelmed, irritable, gaining weight around the waist, having headaches, worsening PMS, tight muscles ... even digestive problems can be a sign "Momstress" is getting to you. Motherhood can be a full-on time and when the tension is greater than relaxation stress happens. Overtime this can take a toll on our health, hormones, mood and basically our ability to enjoy ourselves on this uber precious (albeit challenging) journey of parenting.

This series is a deeper dive into how you can use Yoga Nidra for you and your children to feel calmer, healthier and happier. 

*FYI - Yoga Nidra is a simple, guided series of mindfulness exercises (breathing and body awareness) that are strung together to bring you into a restorative brainwave patterning state where healing happens optimally. 30 minutes is said to be equivalent to 4 hours normal sleep.

Features and Benefits of the Program:

• Experience 6, 30 minute-ish Yoga Nidra Practices with the group (group practice is more powerful than individual for many and positive changes have been noted on brain scans after just 11 hours of yoga nidra) . 
• Learn how to use this easy, can't-do-it-wrong Mindfulness meditation (I'm talking about Yoga nidra!) on your own to get the most benefit.
• Receive a passcode to have access to a compilation of Mama Bliss Yoga Nidras to download onto your devices. 
• Understand your child's unique consciousness and how knowing this can transform your parenting - brain neuroscience translated to the practical day to day.
• Use Yoga Nidra to get clear on difficult decisions.
• Share in the Sistahood (this should be at the top of the list!!!). Oxytocin (AKA - the tend and befriend hormone) is the female anti-stress hormone and flows abundantly through us when we get together like this!

Where: Mountain Pod Yoga Studio in Canmore on Bow Valley Trail. Class size limited to 6.

When: 6 Wednesdays, November 14, 2016 to December 21, 2016.  

Classes run 10:15 am - 11:45am.

Looking forward to being together ... Dr. Monika (-: Naturopathic Doctor and  Advanced Level Yoga Nidra Facilitator for Adults and Children

In this 6 week Soulful, Conscious Parenting Program you'll be learning some pretty cool foundational concepts to help you understand your child's brain development (emotional and mental) and his/her changing consciousness so you are more able to truly meet him/her in the moment and nourish your connection with each other. More understanding translates to more ease and joy (and less frustration) day-to-day. YES! (-: Yoga Nidra is included in every session.

What will the Sessions look like?

The short answer is that each week you will be guided as a group through a 35 minute lying down Yoga Nidra * meditation and the remainder of the time will be a mix between education, various experiential exercises/reflections based on the concepts, and of course sharing (as people wish). 

*FYI - Yoga Nidra is a potent mama friendly sleep based meditation tool that supports the free, beautiful flow of your own and your child's self-healing forces by a series of breathing and mindfulness exercises that bring you into the brainwave/nervous system state where healing happens optimally. As a bonus (!) old beliefs that aren't helping us can be transformed here helping us rewire our brain so it is easier for us to live a more conscious life that is aligned with our own values and heart desires. 

Features and Benefits of the Program:

• Experience 6, 30 minute-ish Yoga Nidra Practices with the group (group practice is more powerful than individual for many and positive changes have been noted on brain scans after just 11 hours of yoga nidra) . 
• Learn how to use this easy, can't-do-it-wrong Mindfulness meditation (I'm talking about Yoga nidra!) on your own to get the most benefit.
• Receive a passcode to have access to a compilation of Mama Bliss Yoga Nidras to download onto your devices. 
• Understand your child's unique consciousness and how knowing this can transform your parenting - brain neuroscience translated to the practical day to day.
• Learn and experience my favourite, seriously efficient process for taping into your body's wisdom for guidance when you're feeling overwhelmed or stuck.
• Learn from my experience what the single most important quality in the mindfulness journey for moms is.
• Learn my favourite one-syllable magical word to bring into your parenting and hear how my daughter is using it with our new puppy and how it ties so well into the above most important quality.
• Access to laser Coaching as needed and time allows.
• Share in the Sistahood (this should be at the top of the list!!!). Oxytocin (AKA - the tend and befriend hormone) is the female anti-stress hormone and flows abundantly through us when we get together like this!

BONUS: a complimentary story-based Yoga Nidra audio recording for you and your children to go Zen together with.

Why this Program and the Content?

I want to be part of helping this information go mainstream because I am crazy about kids and I've noticed that most people (even teachers and doctors I've spoke with) were never taught many important things in this area - for example that children's predominant brainwave patterns are very different than adults and what this means in terms of the way they learn best, stay healthy, interact with life and deal with stress, etc. Once you know about this you can use your own wisdom and creativity to engage from this new understanding. I have noticed that it creates less tension and naturally brings more play and compassion in child-adult interactions. (-:

My wish is that the  BIG LOVE you feel for your child reaches him/her.  I've come to understand that there are things we think, do and say that unknowingly create separation and affect our children's ability to receive the love we have for them. There's a big shift globally happening towards more conscious parenting and attention given to the developing brain and consciousness of children that is helping our intention to connect compassionately happen. Group support takes the hard out of change and adds the warmth and fun ....
