About us
We are a group of counsellors wanting to bring trauma-informed, embodied, and compassion focused wellness events, workshops and support groups to Vancouver.
Throughout the year we offer one of workshops, workshops series as well as ongoing classes (yin yoga and trauma informed yoga, for example). A few times a year we also offer free connection, networking and yoga events for our community and the counselling community - we LOVE supporting those who care for others!
We hope to offer events that can be inclusive, welcoming and suited to many, including queer and neurodivergent humans! While we recognize that each event won't be suited/desired by everyone, we strive to provide clear info on what to expect so that you can be clear on which gatherings are and are not for where you're at (and what your nervous system may need!)
At this point in time you're welcome to share your own event as well - please share what makes it trauma informed and inclusive.
Looking forward to connecting with you all!

Expressive Arts Drop In with Natasha
New Tides Counselling and Wellness, 1682 West 7th Ave, Suite 300, Vancouver, BC, CASign up ahead of time necessary at www.newtides.ca/classes - first time visiting our space for a yoga or expressive arts class is free - please write "Free Class - Meetup" when you sign up in the 'reason for attending' box.
Have you been feeling disconnected lately, found yourself at a point of transition, or wondered how to navigate a challenge on the horizon? Do you find it supportive to process your thoughts and feelings in the company of others? Our Expressive Arts Therapy drop-in sessions might be for you. Come spend an evening exploring new ideas, new materials and new possibilities in a cozy group setting.
Expressive Arts Therapy is a creative, therapeutic practice that invites individuals to explore their inner world and experiences using creative modalities, such as movement, sound, visual arts, photography, and writing. Each session will have a theme that participants are welcome and invited to follow, if they feel called to do so. One beauty of expressive arts therapy is that where you begin may not be where you end up, therefore not art or creative experience is required to participate.
Materials will be supplied, however you are welcome to bring your own if there are materials you work with regularly, or have always been interested in but have never tried.
We will begin each session with a brief check-in and orientation to the of the session, then participants are welcome to engage in their own individual process or they might choose to work alongside others to share in the experience together. We will come together at the close of the session, with an invitation to reflect together on the creative work done.
Please note that your first yoga or art drop in is on us - if you bring a friend, they are also of course able to attend their first class for free as well!
