Zen Meditation

Overview Full Moon Energy Activation & Sound Bath in a stunning wooden sanctuary with nature views for deep relaxation, emotional release & renewal. Held at the Unitarian Congregation a spiritual sanctuary where mindfulness and contemplative practices are held year-round, this experience takes place in a warm, rustic hall surrounded by greenery and natural light. With soaring wooden beams and expansive windows overlooking trees and spring growth, the space feels like being held by nature while remaining comfortably indoors. The atmosphere is grounding, peaceful, and deeply nurturing. ### **Why This Spring Session Is Powerful** Late spring carries the energy of renewal, expansion, and gentle awakening. Following the Full Moon, this is a powerful time to: • release emotional heaviness • integrate recent shifts and insights • reset the nervous system • create space for clarity and new beginnings • reconnect with inner balance As nature opens and blossoms, the body and nervous system naturally respond to this rhythm of renewal. ### **A Safe Space to Slow Down & Restore** As the nervous system settles, the body softens and the mind quiets. Within this supportive and sacred environment, your process unfolds naturally and at your own pace. Participants often experience: • deep relaxation and nervous system reset • emotional release and clarity • relief from stress and mental overload • renewed energy and inner calm • a profound sense of presence Nothing is forced. The body opens when it feels safe. ### **Energy Activation & Sound Bath Experience** This immersive session combines: • Kundalini Activation energy transmission • guided relaxation & breathwork • sound healing & vibrational grounding • a trauma-aware, nervous-system-conscious space • time for deep inward processing Sound frequencies support the body’s natural release process and deepen relaxation. ### **Who This Experience Is For** This session may support you if you: • feel overwhelmed or mentally fatigued • seek emotional release in a safe environment • want deep relaxation and nervous system reset • feel called to reconnect inward • are curious about sound healing & energy work No prior experience needed. ### **What to Bring** • Yoga Mat • Water Spots are limited.

**Overview** A full moon evening of soulful music, mantra & meditation by Lake Ontario, to nourish your mind, body, & spirit. **Moonlight Mantras** **by the Lake** A full moon evening of soulful music, mantras & meditation by Lake Ontario, designed to nourish your mind, body, and spirit. Step out of the city, without ever leaving it. Join us for an evening retreat at Ashbridges Bay Yacht Club, where the noise of Toronto fades into the background and the stillness of the lake and full moon takes over. For a few hours, you’ll feel as though you’ve traveled far beyond the city to bathe in the soothing mantras and soulful melodies of our live musicians. Hosted in the gorgeous clubhouse with sweeping views of the bay, you’ll be guided through a soothing blend of music, mantra chanting, and meditation. Rooted in ancient traditions, mantra works through sound and vibration - subtle frequencies that calm the mind, settle the body, and gently uplift the spirit. Sing along and sway for an embodied experience. The full moon has long been associated with heightened awareness, emotional clarity, and reflection. It’s a powerful time to pause, reset, and turn inward. This evening is designed to help you tap into that energy effortlessly. Afterward, you’re invited to linger around, sit on the patio, walk along the docks, and take in the quiet glow of the moon over the water. Whether you’re new to meditation or already on your journey, this experience offers a rare opportunity: to feel completely transported, while still in the heart of the city. ✨ Expect a serene, calming, and uplifting evening ✨ Soulful live music and guided mantra chanting ✨ Meditation under the full moon by the lake ✨ A peaceful, welcoming community atmosphere Come as you are - and leave feeling lighter, calmer, and renewed.

### An Invitation For You A 6.5 Hour, clinically designed reset for high-responsibility professionals — with guided practices, meaningful dialogue, and a full multi-course meal. For executives, clinicians, educators, managers, HR leaders, and high-responsibility professionals who carry visible and invisible load — and need more than another wellness webinar. ##### **Individual Ticket: $349 + tax** https://daretoretreat.co/product/leadershipreset2026/ #### What Happens During the 6.5 Hour Leadership Reset This is not a panel you sit through and forget the next day. The experience moves intentionally between learning, embodied reset, nourishment, and integration — so participants don’t leave emotionally spun out. **The experience includes:** * **Arrival and Grounding Welcome** A guided transition from workplace pace into psychological space. * **Opening Reflection** Structured time to slow down, settle, and reconnect with internal cues. * **The Mental Beauty Framework** A clear, professional approach to sustainable self-leadership rooted in clinical practice and real workplace realities. * **Guided Nervous-System Reset Practices** Breathwork, visualization, or sensory grounding designed to reduce overload and restore emotional steadiness. * **Insight Session: The Psychology of Burnout** Exploring patterns such as over-responsibility, perfectionism, emotional labour, compassion fatigue, and the pressure to “stay strong.” * **Applied Reset Practice** A practical ritual or tool participants can repeat in daily life and at work. * **Full Multi-Course Meal** A curated dining experience woven into the reset, reinforcing slowing down, receiving, and replenishing. * **Integration Circle and Closing** Reflection and anchoring so insights land — not just intellectually, but emotionally. #### What This Experience Is Workplace demands are rising, burnout is accelerating, and leaders across Canada are carrying more emotional, cognitive, and relational responsibility than ever before. Traditional wellness initiatives — short talks, apps, and one-off perks — are no longer enough. **Dare to ‘*Re-Treat*’: The Leadership Reset Experience** is a **clinically grounded, psychologically safe, in-person experience** designed to help high-responsibility professionals **pause, regulate, and recalibrate** — without checking out of real life or pretending one night fixes systemic pressure. This is not a traditional conference or wellness workshop. It is a **structured leadership reset** that blends evidence-informed teaching, guided nervous-system practices, shared reflection, and intentional nourishment. Participants don’t just feel better for a moment. They leave **more grounded, clearer, and steadier** — with tools they can actually use.

On this day the Christ stands before God as the representative of humanity, the “eldest in a great family of brothers,” and focalises the united aspiration of humanity into an invocative demand for more Light and Love. Through Christ, the response of deity pours forth into humanity, uplifting human consciousness and establishing a culture of goodwill and right human relations on earth.

The Gemini path is one of bridge-building: learning to hold opposing poles in creative tension until duality resolves into unity. **Communication, the Messenger, and the Mind** Ruled by Mercury, Gemini governs the mind, language, and the transmission of ideas. Mercury in the Ageless Wisdom is the divine Messenger — the intermediary through which soul impression reaches the personality. **The Will-to-Good and Right Human Relations** At the Festival of Goodwill, Gemini becomes the vessel through which Love-Wisdom flows into the world as the will-to-good — active, intelligent love expressing itself through right relationship between all peoples and nations. *** ## **Planetary Rulers** **Exoteric Ruler: Mercury ☿ —** The divine Messenger, governing the lower mind as a responsive instrument for soul impression — the very faculty the disciple uses to build the bridge between higher and lower. **Esoteric Ruler: Venus ♀ —** At the soul level, Venus illumines the deeper truth of Gemini's duality: that the two poles are complementary aspects of one Life drawn together through love-wisdom. **Hierarchical Ruler: Earth 🜨︎ -** At the highest level of initiation, Earth as ruler points to Gemini's intimate relationship with planetary service — the work of bringing spiritual reality into tangible manifestation. *** ### **Positive Qualities** Capacity for Synthesis and Bridging Versatility and Adaptability Brilliant Communication and Teaching Love-Wisdom in Relationship Capacity to Hold Duality in Balance ### **Negative Qualities** Restlessness and Inconsistency Superficiality and Dispersion of Energy Duality Without Resolution Intellectual Cleverness Without Depth Gossip and Misuse of the Word *** ## \~ The Labour of Hercules \~ ## The Gathering of the Golden Apples of the Hesperides Hercules is sent to gather the golden apples of wisdom from the garden of the Hesperides — but no one will tell him where the garden is. He wanders through the world asking for directions, falling into traps and distractions. One of the traps is the most Geminian of all: a false teacher named Busiris who captures him through the very gift of eloquence and the promise of wisdom. This is the shadow side of Mercury — the power of the word turned away from the soul, used to bind rather than to liberate. The Gemini disciple must learn to discriminate between the voice of the true teacher and the voice of glamour. Eventually freed, Hercules makes his way north — the direction of spirit — and there encounters Atlas, who bears the weight of the world upon his shoulders. In an act of pure service, Hercules takes on that burden so that Atlas may retrieve the apples. This, too, is a Gemini teaching: that wisdom is not won through seeking alone, but through the willingness to bear the world's burden — to step outside the personal quest and serve. The apples come not to the one who grasps, but to the one who gives. This labour teaches the Gemini disciple that wisdom cannot be seized or hoarded — it must be lived in relationship. The golden apples represent the fruits of the spirit, the gifts of the soul, available only when the personal self steps aside and the soul is free to express through all encounters and exchanges. True communication is not the transmission of information but the transmission of light — and the Gemini initiate learns that every relationship is an opportunity for this sacred exchange.

Why are we unhappy? Where does emotional pain come from? Studies show that people who suffer from long-term emotional pain have painful experiences in their lives that were never fully resolved in their mind. In other words, there were issues in the past that were not completely dealt with. This can include abuse in childhood, breakups, divorce, death of a loved one, to name a few. How do you know whether you have gotten over something painful? Here is an easy test: Do you still have attention on what had happened to you? For instance, do you still find yourself thinking about something painful that you went through? If you are, then you are not over it. In fact, in severe cases, people find themselves playing a "tape" in their mind over and over again. So how do you heal from your past? How do you stop the "tape" playing in your mind? In this meeting, you will learn a technique to help you with that. Come join us! Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is created by the Dianetics and Scientology life improvement center.

The emotional pain from past bad experiences easily lingers in the present, making it hard to enjoy life and create your future. Even when you think you've moved on, the negative emotions can be triggered, sending you back into the pain of that experience. And we are talking about pain; emotions such as grief, depression, anxiety, fear (or terror), boiling anger, simmering resentment, feelings of shame, blaming and regret can leave you incapacitated to a greater or lesser degree. In this local event we will be discussing the reasons why these past bad experiences have the power to affect you long after they occurred. We'll go over why the emotional pain can be so strong. We'll also discuss some simple solutions to overcome your emotional pain and be free to fully enjoy your life again. Examples of painful experiences include: * A broken relationship or divorce. * Death or loss of a loved one. * Death of a pet. * A sudden shock or bad news. * A betrayal. * Being part of an abusive relationship. * A bad injustice. * Loss of a job, position or business. * A grave illness or injury. The negative emotions from these experiences don't just go away on their own. But the good news is there is a way to clear them out of your way. Be sure to click on the red "Attend" button below to come to this local event. We look forward to seeing you there. This group is sponsored the Dianetics & Scientology Self-Improvement Center.
