Emotional Fluency

Join us on September 3rd, from 7-8pm at the Village Healing Centre, 240 Roncesvalles Avenue (Downstairs Common Room) for the Wellness Talk "Emotional Fluency", with Michele Meehan, Pscyhotherapist and Shamanic Practitioner.

Talk Description:

Our emotions are messengers from the unconscious. They carry great wisdom about our state of well being, and our deepest needs. But, they can be at odds with our thoughts, logic and the demands in our lives. Learning to understand what our emotions are communicating to and through us increases our feeling of empowerment and brings greater ease.

In this session you will learn:
·     How you, personally, experience a range of emotions;
·     The difference between emotion and interpretation; and
·     Effective strategies for fully expressing your emotions in a meaningful way.

Understanding Tibetan Medicine

Understanding Tibetan Medicine

Doctor of Tibetan Herbal Medicine, Tsering Dorjee Dekhang, will be coming to speak about Tibetan Medicine at the upcoming Village Wellness Talk August 6th.

Having recently relocated from India, Tsering is very much looking forward to expanding his practice in Toronto, and helping people from the West better understand the benefits that we can experience from this ancient practice.
"As an integrated system of health care, Tibetan medicine can offer allopathic medicine a different perspective on health. However, like other systems, it must be understood in its own terms, as well as in the context of objective investigation. In practice it can also offer Western people another approach to achieving happiness through health and balance"
 
His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama

In addition to offering this much-needed introduction to Tibetan Medicine, Tsering will also be bringing copies of his book, "A Handbook of Tibetan Medicine Plants", for purchase on August 6th for $20.

See you there!

Radical Self Nourishment: Nourished Hearts Change the World

Upcoming Village Wellness Talk

with Deborah Brodey of Soul Sound Creation  

 
Tuesday June 4th, from 7-8pm
240 Roncesvalles Avenue, Toronto

In this free and engaging talk, we will explore why so many of us who are out there healing the world have so many challenges giving ourselves the care and compassion we so readily give to others and why it is so important that we break from these patterns, taking the time to deeply nourish ourselves. 

Find out: 
  • Why as a healer and / or change agent you need healing.
  • How filling your own well is not selfish but a radical act!
  • How shame and guilt about not "having it all together" in your personal life and practices can be holding you back and what to do about it.
