The key to more intimacy – and mind-blowing sex – in relationships is about more than just rubbing each other the right way physically. Intimacy begins inside of you. Are you looking to get your confidence back or take it to a new level? A clear vision of your own needs and desires – spiritually, emotionally and mentally - will lead to a healthier relationship with yourself. Getting to know yourself more intimately and being comfortable sharing what you’ve learned with your partner is the first step towards true fulfillment. Explore how communication builds stronger relationships in all rooms – not just the bedroom. Starting the conversation and knowing your love language are the keys to a stronger bond. Once your bond is strengthened, you’ll be able to use all your senses and theirs in mutual sexploration – a fun and enlightening way to spend quality time with your partner. Let's learn a bit more about today’s toys and what may work for you – taboo, trendy or titillating – to keep the passion burning with the one you love for years to come. Presentation with Q&A / Discussion period. Melanie will be providing a take-home workbook.
THE FOREST IS THE THERAPIST,

Many of us have grown up in and around the beautiful lakes and forests of Muskoka and enjoy the breathtaking beauty and health benefits that nature can bring to us. Indeed, it’s why we live here and why tens of thousands of people visit every year. There is no denying that we feel different after being on a hike, a paddle, an awesome mountain bike ride. And while these sports are a great way to exercise and enjoy nature, Nature Therapy is a little different! "Shinrin-Yoku," refers to the practice of spending time in forested areas for the purpose of enhancing health, wellness, and happiness. Inspired by the Japanese Practice, it follows the general principle that it is beneficial to spend time “bathing” in the atmosphere of the forest.
Forest Bathing is spending time in nature in a way that invites healing interactions. It is quite slow, silent and does not cover a lot of territory so anyone at any level of health can benefit from a Nature Therapy session. The practice has been proven to reduce stress hormone production, improve feelings of happiness and free up creativity, as well as lower heart rate and blood pressure, boost the immune system and accelerate recovery from illness. Forest Bathing also can deepen our connection with the environment around us, enhancing our awareness and relationship with “the more than human world”. There are an infinite number of healing activities that can be incorporated into a walk in a forest or any other natural area. An activity is likely to be healing when it makes room for listening, for quiet and accepting presence, and for inquiry through all eight of the sensory modes we possess. Join me for an interactive workshop that will introduce you to the Shinrin-Yoku practice and surely calm your mind and soul!

restore your magic:Restorative yogawith Holly Fay,
YOGA INSTRUCTOR

Inhale. Inhale a little more. Take just one last sip of air to fill you to the brim. Exhale deeply. Lets choose to use 50 minutes of our day to remember the magic of your exhale. As you sit into a collection of restorative poses, give yourself permission to exhale. Give yourself permission to be fully engulfed by the sensations of your body as your muscles slowly soften. Give yourself permission to arrive in this space, on your mat, in this body to breath and restore your magic through the beauty of your exhale.
PLEASE NOTE: Bringing your own mat would be appreciated.
