About us
What we’re about
Are you craving deeper connections in life? Not only with other people, but within yourself, the environment around you, the physical world you live in, the infinite universe, or The Divine itself? Our hope is to create opportunities for you to experience the connections that will allow you to find more satisfaction and wholeness in your life.
Whether you feel it through your mind, your body, or inner being, deep connection eludes many of us, in part due to the noise of the distractions around us every day, like technology, social media, cultural expectations, schedules too busy to manage, and more, that can all dampen our ability to make the very connections we're craving for in our everyday lives.
Through mindful, meaningful, and spiritual conversations, we hope to create a better world for all of us, one small step at a time, and our Nurturing Spirit Retreats provide an opportunity for meditation, gentle yoga, deep relaxation, spiritual conversations, and learning.
We are inclusive and value each person and living being on the planet. For more information or to find a group near you, please contact Debra@CreatingConnection.ca
We look forward to meeting you!

It refers to gathering with like-minded, sincere people, to cultivate spiritual growth, inner peace, and community. Singing and chanting together is a natural way to open our hearts to the universal wisdom that connects all spiritual traditions.With spring in the air, and soil being prepared for planting, this month's songs and chants will focus on "Sowing Seeds of Peace & Joy."
We'll learn songs that cultivate a quiet sense of inner peace while also celebrating the exuberant joy of spring.We welcome all voices, all genders, all cultures and all traditions.
Bio’s:
Vickie is a writer, spiritual director, yoga and meditation teacher passionate about building bridges and creating community through classes, workshops, retreats and music. With an inter-spiritual heart that embraces the oneness of all traditions, she has learned and explored sacred music and chanting from many different cultures and religions and has seen firsthand how music is truly a universal language.
Doug is a voice and acting teacher at the University of Lethbridge. While training to be an actor he discovered the importance of the voice, not only as a tool of self-expression, but also as a guide for self-discovery and development. He loves to sing and share music with people from different cultures, traditions and experiences.
Together, Doug and Vickie integrate their shared gifts of music and teaching with their passion for bringing people together to create a unifying experience of peace and harmony.
