Living from Heart Center's mission is to provide a SAFE place for people to come together to EXPLORE, EXPAND, EXPRESS, and CELEBRATE LIFE and LOVE!! ~ Embracing all that is! Living from HEART Center is a safe place for us to come together and share our JOY, our passions, our gifts, and our HEARTs with one another. It is about living an empowered, centered and authentic life.
Through experiential workshops, enlightening retreats and powerful coaching, we assist you in embracing your truth, facing your shadows and emerging into the light and the JOYFUL adventure of LIFE.

We are in partnership with the Divine and with creation itself, choosing LIFE, choosing LOVE ~moment by moment.
Heart Opening: A deep sense of opening in the chest, often with an overwhelming sense of unconditional love for all beings, which brings about a significant change in the psychological orientation, increasing sensitivity, compassion and appreciation for life.

See all- Remembering the Village - Weekend Family GatheringPrivate space near Pigeon Lake , Alberta, AB
Remembering the Village is a family friendly gathering rooted in the exploration of how we are in one another's company.
It stems from the values of regeneration, land-based skills, healing and right relationship. We aim to create a space that honours all beings—human and non-human, seen and unseen. We want to co-create a space that kids, youth, adults and elders look forward to returning to — all while celebrating the land we walk upon, the food that nourishes us, the skills that sustain us, the songs that move us and the dreams that guide us.

This includes: tent for sleeping, all amenities, shade structure, chairs, umbrella’s, kitchen ware,

Please note, because we are in the forest, there is no potable drinking water. So please bring water.
Still here? GREAT! Don’t be discouraged. This gathering is built on the foundation of collectively supporting our neighbours to ensure all needs are met. This is different than being provided for, it means we work together…. and so, let us be in the practice of this.
What the heck does that mean?
It means closer to the date, we will provide opportunity for those attending to connect with one another and perhaps you decide to: build a shared kitchen, create a meal share or ride share.Let’s say this whole thing is a Dream, each of us a character.
How will it go?
That’s up to us to decide together….. May the Dream of the Village unfold.
Through Sacred Reciprocity: A Pledge-Based Gathering
"The Village space is incredible - I can't express how fortunate and blessed I feel for the way my children were honoured. The experience they were gifted to be present in that space and how impactful it was to for me to be there as a father - I have never had that experience of Villaging before. "

TESTIMONIALS:
"My time at this retreat has been truly remarkable, leaving an indelible mark on me. Throughout the retreat, I have undergone a profound journey of self-discovery, peeling away layers to uncover my authentic self. With each session, I gained deeper insights into my emotions, unearthed and healed past traumas, and ultimately connected with my true essence. The unwavering love and support from Dae, Jeri, and the entire group were essential in my transformative journey. Their genuine care and encouragement guided me every step of the way. I'll forever cherish the love-filled atmosphere and the profound experiences I encountered at this extraordinary retreat!" ~ K - Retreat attendee"For me, the whole 6 day experience was transformative. From the beginning to the end, I felt safe and welcome which allowed me to let go and relax. I was able to fully participate in what was offered without having to worry about anything. Jeri and Dae were able to create an environment where we were challenged but supported to "dig in deep". For the first time in years, I felt a sense of pure joy as well as connection to my newly found tribe.
I was able to experience emotions in a way I wouldn't be able to do at home, in my regular life. I saw how every day I grew in my ability to trust others, support them and let myself be supported, and experience love that is not conditioned to anything."
- Jana B.
