Additional Notes:
Energy Body Movement ~ Dance, Yoga, Qi Gong, Tai Chi
Dance, Yoga, Qi Gong etc are fabulous methods of shifting dense energy, rejuvenating, sweating your prayers and connecting with community while embarking on personal work. These are long standing methods and provide a superb environment for this. The entry fees are not included in the Return to Reverence financial commitment.
Some options include:
Sweat Lodge
Alcohol free dance events such as Intentional Dance, Chakra Dance, or "5 Rhythms"
Walks in nature
Restorative or Yin Yoga
Running
Chopping wood
As long as it establishes a regular movement of physical & emotional energy - it counts. If the movement is mechanical such as at work or with fitness aims, this is not the same.
Additional Reading & Media
You are invited to take your spiritual practice even deeper by reading from the list of recommended books, audio lectures, interviews and podcasts listed on the Recommended Reading & Media page. Many of these are available free online.
Journey Circles, Workshops & Community Events
There are available Monthly Online Journey Circles open to the public should you wish to join, and you are most welcome to attend in-person community gatherings held in Powell River BC each month. These closely follow the premise of the Immersion program with each journey circle based on where we are in the cycle of the season and medicine wheels, yet also include moon phase, response to what the greater community may experiencing, along other common elements that have been brought into my awareness.. These gatherings are all open to the public. Journey circles, Sacred Places, Solo Spaces, and Seasonal Ceremony dates will be posted to the private Return to Reverence facebook group as well as the public inclusive facebook group "Medicine Gatherings & Online Support hosted by 3 Fold Balance"

Supports available to you
- I am available via email for up to 5 hours of immersion related consultation and private support through your personal processes as they relate to the program. If more is needed Consultation Sessions can be booked.
- There will be 10 group video support calls via Zoom, a free conference call program requiring no download. These calls will take place on a weekday evening. You are welcome to send in questions ahead of time to help ensure those topics will be covered.
- An essential component is our private Return to Reverence facebook group for creating a cohesive connected online community. It is a place for sharing, asking questions, posting photos & submissions, finding a study buddy, connecting with alumni, prayer requests, and acts as a beautiful method of holding space for each other. The more engagement you offer, the more will be returned, which increases how connected you will feel to the group.
