Workshops and Retreats

Each year a variety of workshops and retreats on different themes are offered. These events are held in the spirit and philosophy of holistic psychology. Workshops and retreats allow participants to learn and grow with each other. It can be a time and space away from the day-to-day world to open to new ways of living. Retreat space also provides participants with a time and space for rest and renewal.

Workshop and retreats support and augment the introspective experience of individual, one-on-one, therapeutic work. They allow participants a place to practice relational skills, in a safe setting. Workshops and retreats provide a brief practical experience of living in relationship and in community, experiences that are so important in the evolution of healing.

Saved by a Poem! Upcoming Events in Ottawa with Kim Rosen

Poetry, our most ancient form of prayer, is a healing medicine, especially needed in these times of global and personal challenge. Kim Rosen has touched listeners far and wide with poetry’s power to awaken, inspire, and heal. In the workshop following the concert, the voice of each participant is invited to emerge through an alchemy of music and spoken poems, as well as spontaneous writing, silence, movement.

Kim Rosen’s work is infinitely more important than it might appear. I have no doubt that our highly distressed society could be saved by poetry. Kim tells us here how a poem wakens and nourishes the soul and gives us the insight and sensitivity we need to live as creative individuals and as a peaceful society.
--Thomas Moore, author of Care of the Soul.

Kim Rosen, MFA, is a spiritual teacher, spoken-word artist, and poet. She is the author of Saved by a Poem: The Transformative Power of Words (Hay House, October, 2009)
