.Oracle Party With Nancy Drope

​

What you will Explore:

During this workshop, we'll first tune in with on open heart and mind to clear our energy. This will provide you with focus for setting clear intentions of receiving messages for yourself or others for the highest good. Then we will discover how to ask the right question. Framing them with intention from your Soul's perspective which is very different then from your Ego's next fix. Understanding this will put your mind at ease to receive a sacred message.

The workshop then moves into how to draw a card (including discussion on demystifying superstitions and Oracle card misuse). Next, the fun begins with drawing cards, stimulating meaningful conversation, 'ah ha moments' and breakthroughs.

Learning to use Oracle cards as a daily practice is a wonderful way to intentionally ground each day. Having this practice gives you knowledge and can provide insight and understanding about your personal journey. Waking up to these patterns is a process and the Oracle cards are a wonderful tool to gently awaken you to your way of being in the world and in relationship with others.

Oracle Card Workshops are a FUN way to honour your sacred self. The environment allows for sharing, in community and this is where the magic happens. Being witnessed in a sacred space creates a sense of safety for vulnerability to transmute into personal power.

This workshop provides you with an opportunity to "Know Thyself" as quoted by the Oracle of Delphi. You will discover a space of deeper conversation when you step into the magic practice of the Oracle and it will be an elevated vibrational experience when you uncover a connection to your sacred Self.

Nancy does oracle card readings & workshops out of a desire to step into her purpose of helping people break free from ancestral patterns of self-sabotaging behaviours. Nancy studied with Colette Baron-Reid, International HayHouse Author and Oracle Expert, to become a Certified Oracle Guide. Enrolling in Colette’s Oracle School has been one of the most enlightening experiences of Nancy’s life, and has now inspired her to share her experience and understanding of Oracle Cards and their power, a true gift. She is now equipped with a skill set to lead you to shift you into your inner essence.

Attending a workshop or having a private reading done will begin your journey back to yourself.

This workshop includes snacks!

Winter Solstice Celebration

December 21st is the day of the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere. It marks the official start of the winter season.

Since the Summer solstice, the sun has set earlier and earlier each day. The Winter Solstice marks the day when the days begin to grow longer and longer once again until the summer solstice.

As this is also known as the "shortest" day of the year or the day with the least daylight, this is a time of going inwards, reflection, and building a connection to self. It also symbolizes rebirth, as the sun now gradually gets closer to earth once again, slowly providing us with more and more daylight each day.

Join me at the Yoga by Abbey studio for a special Winter Solstice Celebration. The intention of this two hour event is to create a sacred space for us to go inwards, self reflection and celebrate our oneness with nature as we flow with her cycles.

The evening will begin with a guided journal reflection, bringing awareness, celebration and compassion to your journey since the summer solstice.

We will then move into a guided Yoga Nidra and sound bath practice. Yoga Nidra is a guided journey inwards towards the sacred self. It is a powerful an ancient practice that is extremely restorative for the nervous system. Traditionally students enjoy this practice laying down in Savasana with a blanket for warmth and props for ultimate comfort (all props will be provided). This practice is paired with the healing vibrations of the crystal singing bowls, helping us to journey deeper within ourselves. These sacred instruments help us to drop into a meditative state and support the healing of our entire body.

Our evening will finish with a Cacao ceremony. You will receive a warm cup of ceremonial cacao and together we honour the abundance that mother earth provides, take time to reflect, and infuse our intentions for the next 6 months into our cup! This experience is for all levels of ability.

There is no yoga or meditation experience necessary, you are welcome as you are.

Energy Shift: Reiki & Sound Bath

This tranquil 90 minute experience includes a healing sound bath and hands-on reiki healing by certified healer Adrianna Mucciarelli.

This special session will focus on the chakra system, the energetic centres in our body. Each of my crystal signing bowls has a note that resonates with each chakra, working to promote balance.

As you are guided through a sound bath meditation, bringing awareness and healing to each of these centres, Adrianna will come around and provide hands-on reiki healing.

The frequency of the crystal singing bowls has a profound healing affect on our brainwave state, allowing us to access the same brain wave state as REM sleep. Our brain impacts our nervous system, which impacts our physical body, emotions and even the hormones we secrete! Sound has the potential to provide healing to the entire body.

What is Reiki?

Adrianna has provided us with a lovely description written below:

Reiki is an ancient holistic healing technique that aligns our body, minds, and spirits. When the word ‘Reiki’ is translated it means, “spiritually guided life force energy”. This life force energy is alive and flowing through all of us.

Reiki is wise and has a deeper knowing. This means that Reiki has the ability to understand every person perfectly and completely including what each person is ready to heal, when they are ready to heal it, and how to heal it.

Just as our bodies have a physical anatomy, each of us also has an energetic anatomy. Energy (or Ki) flows through our bodies and around our bodies through energy centres called the Chakras and the Bio-energetic field. When energy is disrupted or distorted, it can cause stress or dis-ease in the physical body. Reiki actively assists in activating, redirecting, and balancing any negative or distorted energy.

Reiki can never cause harm or attract evil. It is encoded in such a way that only allows it to be used for the highest and greatest good of each person receiving its gift.

Benefits of Reiki:

⁃ Relieves stress ⁃ Energizes the body, mind and spirit ⁃ Supports relaxation ⁃ Treats physical pain and illness in the body. ⁃ Enhances positive mental wellness ⁃ Decreases symptoms of anxiety and depression.
