Julia and I come from different backgrounds, but our work complements each other beautifully. My work centres around hypnosis, NLP and unconscious change. Julia is the founder of Ecstatic Dance Toronto and brings more than 20 years of experience with movement, dance, yoga, embodiment, dreamwork and ritual.

For three days, we’re bringing those worlds together.

We’ll explore some of the unconscious patterns we carry and use hypnosis and NLP to begin looking at what may be happening beneath the surface. We’ll also use movement, dance, yoga, dreamwork and ritual to access another kind of knowing, because sometimes we can spend so much time trying to think our way through change that we forget there are other ways of listening to ourselves.

And we’ll be doing all of this surrounded by nature. The property is nestled in the countryside near Madoc and includes beautiful forest, an outdoor sauna and cold plunge, a fire pit and plenty of space to slow down, connect and simply be. We’ll also be enjoying nourishing vegan meals throughout the weekend.

But The Sacred Pause isn’t simply about getting away for a few days and relaxing. The intention is deeper than that. We want to create an environment where you have the time and space to look at where you’ve been, what you may be ready to leave behind, and what you want the next chapter of your life to look and feel like.
