🎬 Let’s Go to the Movies (and Actually Talk… or Not) Whether you're a film nerd, popcorn enthusiast, or just looking for a chill night out with interesting people — this one's for you. We’re heading out to see a movie together, then grabbing food or drinks after. If the film's great (or terrible), we’ll probably talk about it forever. If it’s just okay, we’ll talk about it for 10 minutes and move on to everything else — books, dating apps, weird dreams, how Toronto keeps getting more expensive, etc. The vibe is relaxed, friendly, and not too serious. No film degree needed. No icebreakers. No pressure to “perform.” Just come enjoy the film, connect with some thoughtful people, and see where the night goes Click here to watch trailer! 🎞️ **Movie Title + Trailer:** [\[Click here to watch trailer!\]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATGaqU6Srcc) 📖 **📖 Plot Summary:** Long-buried wounds rise to the surface when iconic pop star Mother Mary (Anne Hathaway) reunites with her estranged best friend and former costume designer Sam Anselm (Michaela Coel) on the eve of her comeback performance.

Healing Development * *April 25th - 26th, 2026* * *9:00 am - 6:00 pm* * *In person* * *Halton Hills, Ontario, Canada* * *Stephen Ng Qui Sang* * *400 CAD (plus HST), approx. 290 USD* The Healing Development course is designed to enhance healing skills of different types of therapists, of those dealing with health challenges, and those interested in having more tools to maintain their own health and well-being. All those interested in personal healing or helping others will benefit from the Dolphin Energy Club exercises. These include special healing signals developed by Robert Monroe after researching the brain waves used by healers in the laboratory and then reverse-engineering audio signals that would facilitate others entering into that same healing state. Renowned healer Barbara Ann Brennan recommends that her students attend Monroe programs to enhance their skills and ability to move into different states of consciousness. You will have new tools to enhance skills associated with being able to increase and direct energy. These include several exercises in the Access Channel of Focus 11, a state of consciousness that Robert Monroe considered his most important contribution to personal development. The Access Channel in and of itself is a very special and highly receptive state of consciousness that can be used for accessing our inner knowing. The tools learned in this state are called Function Commands. Once learned, these verbal cues can be used in daily life at any time, to control different bodily or mental functions. In this program, one of the exercises addresses becoming more sensitive to sensory perception, improving seeing, hearing, and tactile feeling. Others deal with healing emotional issues and improving sleep. Opening the heart is the subject of another exercise, a necessary foundation for all healing processes. This course may feel quite different from the Outreach Excursion course or Exploring Consciousness course. Though it does build on the skills learned there, it includes eminently practical exercises designed to help everyone lead healthier, happier, and more satisfied lives. Course benefits and experiences (both during the course and afterwards) vary considerably, but participants typically report the following: * An understanding of remote healing * Deep physical relaxation * Stress reduction * Improved physical abilities * Improved sleep * Enhanced meditations * Enhanced intuition and creativity * Mental calm and clarity * More energy for daily life * Physical and emotional healing The course is conducted using Zoom. Reliable internet connection with a recommended minimum speed of 5 Mbps is needed for streaming the exercises. You will need a good quality stereo headphone, a PC or MAC computer, video camera, and microphone. Unfortunately, the Zoom stereo audio does not work on iPads, iPhones and other cell phones. The trainer will meet with you prior to the start of the course to ensure you are properly setup with Zoom to ensure you have an optimal experience. Here is some feedback we received from the last course: * I gained a lot from this course. I now have meditations and commands I can use to improve my health and well being. Stephen lead the course like a master, giving us a lot of insight form his over two decades of meditation with the Monroe Institute. Thank you Stephen! - L.K. * "I had a wonderful virtual two-day event from the comfort of my own home called “Healing Development” developed by The Monroe Institute with Canadian Certified Monroe Outreach Trainer, and Reiki Master, Stephen Ng Qui Sang. The Hemi-Sync audio technology is fascinating, in fact at one point I fell asleep! During my outdoor walks and in meditation’s, I felt as if I were floating on a magic carpet, riding a wave, feeling, hearing, seeing, noticing more than I ever had before, brilliant. I experienced a profound physical and mental relaxation state during DEC, Dolphin Energy Healing. I highly recommend learning this technique for self healing and the many other consciousness tools I learned during this course. After completing the weekend, I had the best sleep I’ve had in months. Monday I woke up wanting to doodle again. Stephen is an excellent teacher, bringing experience and stories to life with a smile. His passion for science, spirituality and self development is contagious. It’s comforting to know that he continues to explore, learn and grow, so he can lead others with direction and confidence on their journey of self development through the Monroe Institute’s programming." - C.K.
