**A Note from Tracey🌹** Last December, we gathered in the Salt Room to close out the year—and it was *powerful*. The combination of healing energy, breath, and community created something truly unforgettable. So this year, we’re doing it again. This will be the **final KAP session of 2025**, and if you’ve been feeling the call to release, reconnect, or simply take a sacred pause before the new year begins—I’d love for you to join us. Let’s complete this chapter together… In stillness. In remembrance. In reverence for all that we’ve moved through—and all that we’re becoming. With love, Tracey 🤍 **KAP \+ HALOTHERAPY in Mississauga \| A Sacred Healing Experience** 🗓️ **Saturday\, December 20th \| 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM** 📍**The Salt Palace, Mississauga** **About the Gathering** Join Tracey for a 2-hour journey where **[Kundalini Activation Process® (KAP)](https://www.kapacademy.com/)** meets **Halotherapy**—salt-infused breath therapy. This unique combination creates a field of renewal, nervous-system balance, and deep inner stillness. **What You’ll Experience** * 🌿 **Energetic Activation & Awakening** – A gentle, non-forceful rise of life-force energy. * 🌿 **Nervous System Regulation & Emotional Release** – Natural discharge of stored tension. * 🌿 **Presence & Inner Awareness** – A felt return to your own clarity and calm. * 🌿 **Halotherapy Support** – Purifying salt air that nourishes breathing and cellular health. During KAP you simply relax and receive. Movements, sounds, or deep quiet may arise—each is a natural response as your system resets and remembers its original harmony. **Why It’s Special** Our previous gatherings at the Salt Palace was described as **powerful, peaceful, and unforgettable**. The salt-rich environment amplified the energetic transmission, leaving participants with lasting clarity and renewal. **Practical Details** * **Date & Time**: Saturday, December 20th • 1 PM – 3 PM * **Location**: The Salt Palace Room * **Facilitator**: Tracey Amoura Spaces are limited to preserve intimacy and the energetic container. 💜 **Reserve early to secure your spot.** Come rest, release, and awaken in this sanctuary of salt and soul. ♾️♾️ **Halotherapy with Heart and Healing** Imagine stepping into a serene sanctuary, where the air feels alive with healing energy. Here, your breath deepens, your thoughts quiet, and your spirit feels held. This is the gift of **halotherapy**—a gentle, natural practice that nurtures you from the inside out. Our KAP session takes this powerful experience further by guiding you into *inner awareness* within the unique environment of a salt room. It’s a union of energies you may not have encountered before, as I’ve yet to find another KAP session facilitated in such a nourishing space. The salt room becomes both grounding and expansive—a place where physical healing and spiritual connection intertwine. It’s not just ***Kundalini Activation Process (KAP)***; it’s ***KAP elevated***, supported by the ancient wisdom of salt therapy. **Halotherapy, a gentle, healing practice held in serene salt rooms, offers countless ways to nourish you from within. Here are 10 powerful benefits of spending time in a salt room and allowing yourself to connect with its cleansing and calming energy:** **1️⃣** Easier Breathing **– Relish the pure, cleansing essence of salt, with its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, working to clear your airways and enhance each breath.** **2️⃣** Boosted Immunity **– Regular sessions subtly strengthen your immune system, fortifying your body and helping it stay resilient and well.** **3️⃣** Radiant Skin **– Whether it’s soothing eczema, calming psoriasis, or aiding acne healing, halotherapy revitalizes your skin, leaving it fresh and glowing.** **4️⃣** Deep Relaxation **– The salt room’s tranquil ambiance melts away stress and hushes the noise of anxious thoughts, wrapping you in soothing calm.** **5️⃣** Lung Support **– Feel the salt work to expel mucus and impurities, rejuvenating your lung health and making every breath a refreshing gift.** **6️⃣** Deeper Sleep **– Leave the salt room recharged yet serene, making restful, replenishing sleep come effortlessly.** **7️⃣** Relief From Allergies **– Notice your nasal passages relax as salt whisks away irritation and offers relief to allergy sufferers.** **8️⃣** Natural Energy **– Open airways, reduced inflammation, and a sense of lightness renew your energy and invigorate your spirit.** **9️⃣** Sinus Health **– Bid farewell to congestion as salt’s natural anti-inflammatory properties work wonders, restoring easy, open breathing.** **🔟** Faster Recovery **– Whether you’re an athlete or simply active, halotherapy nurtures your body with reduced inflammation and better oxygen flow, speeding up recovery.** **Breathe deeply, breathe fully, and feel salt’s quiet, powerful healing touch. 🧘‍♀️ Halotherapy invites you to combine relaxation, wellness, and self-love in a natural, serene way.** **Salt Palace: A Sacred Space of Connection** At **[Salt Palace](https://saltpalace.ca/)**, you’re welcomed into a unique 450 sq. ft. salt room, lovingly crafted from over 10 tons of pure pink Himalayan salt. This exquisite salt, sourced from the ancient Punjab region of Pakistan, has a story as timeless as the earth itself. Formed from a primordial sea over 250 million years ago, the dense salt deposits born from that landlocked sea are infused with the natural pink hue of ancient microorganisms. Himalayan salt, untouched and 100% natural, is rich in over 84 precious minerals, including iodine, magnesium, and potassium—elements that nurture and replenish the body. **[Salt Palace](https://saltpalace.ca/)** is designed to mirror the natural microclimate of mountain salt caves. Thanks to our state-of-the-art halo generator, the healing potential is amplified through a delicate aerosol of dry salt, allowing you to fully absorb its benefits. The microscopic salt particles penetrate deeply into your lungs and skin, delivering therapeutic effects where they are most needed. This gentle, spiritual process aligns with your body’s natural rhythms, creating a space where true transformation can take place. Join us at the **[Salt Palace](https://saltpalace.ca/)** for a transformative KAP experience designed to awaken your energy, deepen your breath, or simply nourish your soul, embrace a journey of profound renewal and gentle healing as the sacred essence of Himalayan salt to bring light, love, and balance into your life. ♾️♾️ **Kundalini Activation Process (KAP)** is a powerful and life-changing experience that helps you unlock your true potential. Imagine going on a deep adventure within yourself, finding hidden treasures of your personality and abilities that you didn't know existed. With KAP, you learn to light up the energy inside you and connect with the life force present in all living things. This process guides you to break free from old habits and beliefs that have been holding you back, allowing you to live in new and fulfilling ways. KAP is the ***path of surrender***, it's about letting go rather than trying harder, different from practices like kundalini yoga, tantra, or chi gong. Energy moves from the top of your head down to your base, clearing blockages and healing old wounds on its way. In this session, you'll receive a "***double transmission***" - a powerful mix of Kundalini energy and non-dual consciousness. This fusion will enliven your life force energy, revitalizing your body, mind, and energy flow. Simultaneously, your awareness will expand into the realm of non-duality, enriching your perception of the unity of all beings. **HOW IS THE SESSION?** I invite you to find a cozy spot to lie down on a yoga mat, where you can fully sink into this experience. Once you're settled, I'll start playing some specially chosen music that helps your brain relax more deeply. During our time together, I'll focus on your energy centers, also known as chakras, and specific meridian points on your body. My goal is to use gentle touch and light pressure to help clear any energy blocks and support your overall well-being. Rest assured, the pressure will always be soft and comfortable to ensure you feel safe and at ease throughout our session. **WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT DURING A SESSION?** Walking into a KAP session, you leave the outside world behind. What happens next is nothing short of amazing. **Energetic Vibes**: While you're lying down, you might start feeling a powerful energy moving through you. It's like an electric wave that fills you up, making every part of you come alive. **Visual Adventures**: Your inner sight, or "third eye," wakes up, and suddenly, you're seeing vivid images, colors, and maybe even going on visual journeys to places beyond your wildest dreams. **A Rollercoaster of Emotions**: It's normal to feel a whole spectrum of emotions during the session. You might feel anger, sadness, fear, happiness, or even burst into laughter. The magic happens when you allow yourself to fully experience these emotions without holding back. **Unexpected Movements**: You might find your body moving in ways you didn't plan, like stretching, shaking, or even striking a yoga pose. Listen to what your body wants to do without overthinking it. You may feel tension build up and then release, leaving you in a state of deep relaxation. **Blissful Moments**: There's a chance you'll reach a bliss state, where you're completely in the moment, feeling a deep sense of joy and satisfaction. It's tough to put this feeling into words, but it's unforgettable once you've felt it. **DISCOVER THE BENEFITS OF KAP** * **Freedom from Emotional Baggage**: Wave goodbye to those heavy emotions that drag you down. * **Broadened Consciousness**: Find yourself thinking and understanding beyond your usual limits. * **Intuition Amplified**: Your gut feelings get louder and clearer. * **Stress and Anxiety Reduction**: Watch your worries and tensions melt away. * **Boosted Confidence**: Feel more sure of yourself and your value. * **Wiser Decisions**: Navigate life with a sharper compass. * **Pure Bliss**: Experience moments of unadulterated joy. * **Stronger Boundaries**: Learn to say no with confidence. * **Shedding Limitations**: Free yourself from thoughts and patterns that hold you back. * **Breaking Old Habits**: Step out of cycles that no longer serve you. * **Increased Resilience**: Find strength to change what doesn't work in your life. * **Deeper Compassion**: Understand and connect with others on a new level. * **Clear Mind**: Enjoy the tranquility of a calm and focused brain. * **Creative and Spiritual Growth**: Explore new ideas and feel more connected to the world. * **Purpose and Direction**: Find your path and walk it with confidence. * **Healthier Relationships**: Connect with others in more meaningful ways. * **Unity and Gratitude**: Feel part of something bigger and appreciate the small things. * **Enhanced Intuitive Skills**: Tap into your inner psychic. * **Empowerment**: Take control of your life and happiness. ***Got questions?*** Connect with me on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/traceyamoura) or shoot an email to [kapbytracey@gmail.com](kapbytracey@gmail.com).

Let’s do some coding together at a cafe! No more working alone in the weekend. Here, we write code together. And I mean together together. Not occupying-the-same-space-but-separate together. Here’s how it works: Jennifer brings her mobile app project, tells everyone that it is like Pinterest for recipes and she’d like to work on the nav bar. Paul and Chloe think Jennifer's project is fascinating, and they join the group. They gather around Jennifer’s laptop and work on the nav bar for 2 hours. Jennifer is the one typing out the code while Paul and Chloe research, brainstorm, and offer suggestions. If you’re feeling stuck on your own project or need a motivation boost, bring it to mob programming! Want to learn by watching how others code and solve problems? Join someone else’s project at this event! Oh and we love your half-done projects that you are a bit embarrassed to share. Absolutely bring those to the event! **Discord**: We use Discord to share screen & code snippets during the event. Also feel free to share your projects here before the event! https://discord.gg/Da9fZFxPfs **Event policy**: * We have 0 tolerance for harassment. * We don’t allow the projects that are not meant to be shared in public such as school assignments, interview tasks, or trade secrets. * The goal is to write code. We discourage you from pitching business ideas here, doing code reviews, or spending the whole event on planning what to do. * Please buy a drink, and tip the barista well.
