On Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year, we gather to bring our Soul work into alignment with the seasonal cycle of Earth, travelling deeper into stillness and the dark.

Join shamanic medicine teacher and ritualist, Mimi Young, as she leads a sunrise Winter Solstice ceremony that includes a group shamanic journey to:

• Bring to light the root of our wounds into our conscious awareness.

• Name our root issues and thus begin the work of integrating the Dark with the Light.

• Accept our wholeness and sovereignty.

• Align ourselves with the natural order of Earth.

• Deepen our soul and allow the breath of wisdom to enter.

• Renew our love for each other as soul sisters and brothers.

At the end of the sunrise ceremony, we will end with a group altar building ritual and each receive a shamanic gift offering for each attendee.

Investment: early bird $35, general admission $45 (early bird cut-off Tuesday, December 11)

Join us for this instalment where the theme is Dream Anew.

Inspired by the Solar Wheel of the Year, The Wheel is an opportunity to take part in the ancient and universally recognized tradition of following the seasonal cycle of the changing year, and to support and accelerate our path within that cycle. Harnessing the unique, shifting energy patterns of the seasons into the present moment can noticeably benefit our sense of well-being, our careers, and our relationships. It can help initiate positive change instead of being at the mercy of the fears around change. By truly experiencing the present, we are open to purposeful and prosperous living.

The Wheel at Werklab is a unique blend of movement, plant medicine and simple ceremonies, which are inclusive, spontaneous, and capable of bringing us empowered understanding. Through this gateway, we can break free of outworn defaults, damaging dogma, and restrictive concepts to generate fulfilling growth, exciting opportunities, and a more integrated self.

Each 2 hour gathering will include sharing on seasonal attunement, followed by an interdisciplinary experience of auric cleansing, yoga movement, breath-work, meditation, plant medicine, sound healing, and ending with suggested rituals to practise at home. Each gathering will be co-led by Chantal Russell, registered holistic nutritionist and yoga director of The Well on Bowen, and Mimi Young, shamanic medicine teacher and ritualist of Ceremonie.

For December 5’s gathering, we will be exploring the power of dreaming as a creative tool to enliven and to envision. Harnessing the energy of Winter, this season is also likened to a time when the soul can respond to stirrings and nocturnal dreams. Through yoga movement, the use of contrast, and shamanic drumming, join us as we posture ourselves to experience boundlessness.

PRINCIPLES + RITUALS TO CULTIVATE AND ENHANCE PROSPERITY
Living in abundance and in awakened consciousness were never meant to be mutually exclusive. Yet, many of us still live with distorted beliefs around money, the material, and spirituality. Or perhaps you recognize that one does not need to be a non-materialist to be spiritual, but struggle with attaining the level of wealth you desire? Join Mimi Young, shamanic medicine teacher and ritualist, as we explore the energetic principles around money and wealth, and techniques to access the abundance and freedom we all desire. Discover specific plant synergies that draw money, that brings ideal career opportunities, and enhance overall prosperity. Learn Feng Shui basics that help harness the flow of your energy so that you can be more productive with your time. We will discuss money baths and in a magick circle during the workshop, be in ritual including building wallet altars and prosperity bowls. Most importantly, be prepared to confront what is currently limiting or blocking your ability to receive abundance.

Investment: $55 early bird (up to one week before event); $65 general admission
Includes: A Companion Book written by Mimi Young, all ritual materials other than personal items listed below
What to bring (optional):

• Notebook and pen
• A small green, golden, or red medicine pouch
• Wallet-sized image of Lakshmi, Ganesha, Persephone/Demeter/Hekate, Mother Mary, Turtle, Elephant, Dragon, Chinese wealth symbols, photo of ancestor in your lineage who had a command of the fiscal arts, or any other image that represents wealth to you

RITUALS TO RESTORE WORTH, PLEASURE, AND POWER

Do you know…

• Why the third eye is so over-emphasized and the root and sacral chakras are so undermined in many spiritual practises?
• Why until very recently, plant medicine has been dismissed as superstitious and quackery by science?
• Why the horned goat and serpent are associated with darkness and evil?
• Why so many of us relate to our menses with dread and disgust? (Hint - it can be the best week of our month!)
• Why the first human was male, as told by many biblical myths?

The answers to these (and many others) will be discussed and how these perpetuated ideas have mis-defined or shrunken women, and as a consequence, have impacted our psyches and cellular memories. With Mimi Young, plant spirit medicine practitioner and founder of shamanic brand, Ceremonie, we invite you to an evening where we examine how these limiting beliefs of women have skewed our perception of our bodies and sexuality, of our worth, of our relationships, and of our careers. If you are seeking to develop and enhance your intuition, are feeling stuck or unsure, are wanting more self compassion and empowered transformation in your life, or are simply want to ‘return to your truest self’, this workshop is for you. Mimi will be taking us through conversations and experiences in plant spirit medicine, archetypal and symbolic healing, altar building, and shamanic journeying.

Investment: $55. Includes workshop materials, a warm reishi tea from Nectar Juicery, and Ceremonie Companion Booklet

Please bring: pen, notebook, eye cover or bandana, a pocket-sized crystal/stone, a rattle (optional)

Please note that the topic of the evening will be feminist by nature, but people of all genders are welcome / encouraged to attend.

DIVINE SKIN, MOON BEAUTY, TOOLS + RITUALS

Your skin is a mirror of your inner world - physiologically, emotionally, and spiritually. By extension, the kind of relationship you have with your skin is an indication of how you relate with yourself as a whole. Do you know your skin’s personal needs and genuine expression? Did you know that your skin, being the body’s largest organ, is asking to converse with you through its conditions? With Mimi Young, plant spirit medicine practitioner, we invite you to an evening to develop a foundation based on today’s understanding of skin science, determine what your skin truly needs through face mapping and other tools, learn how to nourish it with plant medicine, form practical beauty rituals, and discover how to harness the Moon’s cycles so you can bridge your own internal landscape with your external beauty. We will end the evening with a powerful, group shamanic journey.

Investment: $60. Includes workshop materials, an elixir from Nectar Juicery, and Ceremonie Companion Booklet

Please bring: pen, notebook, a compact mirror (we will be learning how to face map!), eye cover or bandana, a pocket-sized crystal/stone, a rattle (optional)

TECHNIQUES ON ACQUIRING, CLEANSING, CHARGING, AND PROGRAMMING YOUR STONES

This is a theory-based and hands-on class where attendees can practise the techniques. We will also be embarking on a group shamanic journey led by Mimi to invite spirit allies to imprint our crystals.
