Did you know that I volunteer my time on the Board of Directors? Last summer, I co-hosted a successful fundraiser, Flow Through Time, and I’m delighted to share another special invitation!

I’d love for you to join me at the Bytown Museum’s 200+ Kickoff Fundraiser on Friday, January 30, 2026, from 7:00 pm – 10:00 p.m.

This event celebrates the launch of modern-day Ottawa’s bicentennial year.

The highlight of the evening will be Ottawa’s very own , a local quartet bringing rich sea shanty harmonies and sing-along fun to the evening — a perfect way to connect, celebrate, and support this beloved community museum. Event details and tickets can be found here. https://bytownmuseum.ca/en/event/bytown-museums-200-kickoff-fundraiser/

I’m so excited about the event, that I’m offering up an opportunity to win 2 FREE tickets!

As we approach the shortest day and busiest time of the year, treat yourself to a restful experience with a two-hour Yin Yoga and Aromatherapy experience.

This cozy, candlelit session combines the deeply restorative practice of Yin Yoga — long-held, floor-based poses that gently stretch the connective tissues and calm the nervous system — with the therapeutic benefits of essential oils. Poses are thoughtfully sequenced and paired with winter-inspired essential oils that are used aromatically, and self or teacher applied. An optional head massage is offered at the end of class.

​Consider this a gentle pause between seasons to rest your body and mind.

All levels are welcome, and it makes a wonderful holiday gift!
​
Please bring a mat, two throw blankets, a cushion (or a yoga bolster if you have one), and water.

Cozy layers are encouraged. Bolsters and some extra blankets will be available for participants.

We've limited the number of participants to ensure a personalized experience.

Cost: $55 + fee & tax. Get your ticket today at the RA Website! https://www.racentre.com/solstice-stillness-event.html

How much time, energy, and money are you spending on others? Take a minute to really think about it. When I contemplated doing my first yoga teacher training (almost 20 years ago), I was racked with guilt. It would mean precious weekend time away from family (I was just about to return to a demanding leadership job after parental leave), and a few thousand dollars less for a holiday, kids' activities, or gifts.... But then I did some math... hockey equipment, gymnastics fees, gas, hotel and meals for tournaments and competition travel, not to mention all the related parental volunteer duties. Don't get me wrong - I love my kids and got so much out of watching them grow, make friends, learn new skills, and have a blast. The issue was that I wasn't allowing myself the same opportunities. Realizing that I was potentially depriving myself of an opportunity for growth, learning more about something I loved, and creating meaningful connections, I (mostly) overcame my guilt and committed to the training. It was one of the best decisions of my adult life! You may not aspire to yoga teacher training, but I encourage you to think about what YOU need and deserve. If it happens to be a few days away from all the people and responsibilities that take up your energy, sign up for this year's Kāla Connections Weekend Retreat. I have room for just two more people, but for logistical reasons, I have to close registration this weekend. I'd love for you to set aside any guilt you may have, and let me, my team, and take care of you!
