High Park Forest Bathing Walk
Come for a Forest Bathing Walk at High Park. 🤍
We will be exploring Creating Your Own Joy
Joy doesn’t always arrive on its own.
Sometimes, it waits for an invitation.
In a world that teaches us to postpone joy until things are finished, fixed, or figured out the forest offers a different lesson: joy can be created in the present moment, through attention, choice, and care.
This forest therapy walk is an invitation to create your own joy.
Not the loud, performative kind.
Not forced positivity.
But a steady, embodied joy that grows when we slow down, listen deeply, and reconnect with what feels true and nourishing.
As we move gently through the forest, you’ll be guided through simple invitations to:
• Tune into your senses
• Follow curiosity and pleasure without guilt
• Release heaviness and expectation
• Notice what brings lightness to your body and breath
Joy here is not something to achieve.
It is something to practice.
A leaf held in your hand.
A moment of ease.
A quiet yes to yourself.
The forest reminds us that joy is a skill, a relationship, and a choice we can return to again and again.
Come as you are.
Create your joy.
Carry it with you.
We will meet in front of the High park Nature Centre at:
375 Colborne Lodge Dr
There is no access for cars into the park on the weekends. Closest parking is on Bloor St and surrounding area. Please be mindful of signage.

Qi Gong, Somatic Psychotherapy and Meditation Weekend Workshop/Retreat
This collaborative day retreat brings together somatic psychotherapy, mindful movement and meditation to work with different layers of experience (body, mind, spirit).
Through experiential exercises, guided movement (Qi Gong practice), reflective activities and group sharing, you will be supported to slow down and listen inwardly to what is emerging while practicing being compassionately present with processes that are sometimes difficult to bring to conscious awareness.
This is a chance to slow down, be present, and centre yourself in order to reconnect with your inner wisdom and clarity. Ultimately, it is this inner wisdom that can support you in navigating the stresses of life with more presence, ease, intuition, and alignment.
**This day retreat is suitable for:**
* Individuals interested in deepening somatic and movement-based practices
* Those experiencing overwhelm, stress, or nervous system overload, and longing to slow down and settle
* Anyone wishing to explore mindful Qigong and embodied practices that support overall health and wellness—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually
* Anyone seeking greater support with emotional fluidity
* Those wanting clarity around belief systems and habitual ways of thinking, and support in understanding and shifting them
* People feeling stuck, uncertain, or unclear
**Location:** 1369 Bloor St. W. (Near Lansdowne and Bloor), Toronto

Kirtan and Meditation "Singing into Stillness"
Join us for an evening of Kirtan, mantra, melody, and meditation in TO on Feb 7th, where we will sing together in unison, in a collective field of presence.
This gathering is a time to relax and flow, but also a practice and ceremony—a space where each of us has the opportunity to listen deeply, focus on what is essential as we sing from the heart and soul. When we do this, a natural vibration of openness, upliftment, and clarity emerges, allowing us to meet the fullness of our experience as the evening unfolds.
While there is something so beautiful about a simple sing-along, this is more than that. It is an invitation to connect with our deepest resources—stillness, presence, love—and to meet ourselves honestly within that.
As we sing, a natural stillness begins to emerge. In this stillness there is ease—a chance to simply be amid the busyness of life. We will sing, allow the stillness to arise, rest in that, and then sing again.
We are also happy to have Shira Taylor playing flute. Her music brings a beautiful sense of spaciousness and depth to the evening.

Kundalini Activation Process by Tracey • Saturday February 7th at 1PM EST
Kundalini Activation Process® has been one of the most transformative parts of my healing journey.
When I began receiving KAP in 2022, I felt a shift right away. My body released tension I had carried for years. My mind felt clearer. My emotions softened. I started to feel grounded and connected in a real and steady way. The changes kept unfolding, and they touched every part of my life.
KAP supported me in remembering who I am beneath stress, conditioning, and old patterns. It continues to bring clarity, presence, and inner calm each time I receive it.
I now feel called to share this transmission with our Toronto community. This session gives you a space to lie down, relax, and allow your system to open. Your body knows how to release. Your energy knows how to rise.
If you feel curious or drawn to this experience, consider it an invitation.
You are welcome to join.
With love,
Tracey Amoura
**[Kundalini Activation Process® (KAP)](https://www.kapacademy.com/)** 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.

* **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.
**An Invitation to Remember**
This space is not about performance or perfection. It is not about doing more, achieving more, or becoming someone new.
It is about remembering.
Feeling.
Coming home.
To your body.
To your soul.
To the divine intelligence already within you.
Whether this is your first session or part of your deeper path, I welcome you with all my heart.
With love,
**Tracey Amoura**

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.

**An Invitation to Remember**
This space is not about performance or perfection. It is not about doing more, achieving more, or becoming someone new.
It is about remembering.
Feeling.
Coming home.
To your body.
To your soul.
To the divine intelligence already within you.
Whether this is your first session or part of your deeper path, I welcome you with all my heart.
With love,

Free In-Person Meeting: Get Over Losses & Betrayals, Build Lasting Relationships
This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships.
Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse.
Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well.
Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship.
Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action?
Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships!
Break free from self imposed limitations
Here we will discuss:
• How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes.
• Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you?
• Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it?
• Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love?
• Fights & arguments - what's really behind them?
• What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others?
• How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change?
• Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them?
• How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about?
• How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career?
Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general.
Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person.
Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life.
We look forward to having you join us!
