In our journey toward healing, we often forget that joy isn’t something we wait for—it’s something we actively give ourselves. Embracing joy is an act of self care, acknowledging our worth, and choosing to heal.

💕 You deserve it. Start your healing journey today.

Your weekly digital detox's workshop series 3 is Reclaiming.

Off-Screen Hours is a space to step away from the noise. We take intentional breaks from screens and the grind of constant doing, slowing down long enough to feel present again.

⊹ ࣪ ˖ Series 3: Reclaiming explores returning to the self through voice, pace, possibility beyond urgency and scarcity.

Dec 26 → Reclaiming Attention — collaging what you want to give your attention to instead of your screen

Jan 2 → Unlearning the “Grind” — visualize what healing from capitalism might look like

Jan 9th → Reclaiming my Time — the art of boundaries, saying no, or prioritizing joy (pay-what-you-can: $5+)

Expect gentle art making, reflection, and conversation as we find our way back to ourselves and each other.

📅 When: every Friday, 3-5pm (until Feb 2026)
🎟️ Tickets: luma.com/decipherstudio
📍 Location: Decipher Studio B 🚪 room 317 - 402 west pender st.
limited spots | masks encouraged

Healing isn’t loud. It shows up in calmer reactions, clearer boundaries, and choosing peace over proving a point.

You might not feel “healed,” but you’re learning to respond instead of react, rest without guilt, and trust yourself again. 💞

How do you recognize that you’re healing?

❤️

When we truly understand who we are — our strengths, flaws, desires, and boundaries — we gain clarity on what we want to change. It’s not about perfection; it’s about progress and becoming the best version of ourselves. 🧡

Take a moment today to reflect on your journey. What aspects of yourself do you want to nurture, and what do you want to transform?

Change starts from within. 💭✨

Natasha (she/her) is our registered clinical counsellor who approaches therapy with a deep awareness of how systems shape our lives and wellbeing. 🧡

She believes that with stronger investment in social services, health care, and safe housing, fewer people would find themselves needing therapy in the first place. 🏠

In the therapy room, Natasha shows up as authentically, prioritizing genuine connection over a polished 'clinical' persona. You can expect a space where you are truly witnessed and advocated for. ✊
