A reflection on womanhood, midlife, and the quiet awakening that can happen when we finally stop abandoning ourselves.

What part of yourself are you being called to return to in this season of life?

An Invitation by Dr Mark Sherman

To live your life believing you are separate,
Is to ignore the whispers of Love
That surround your lonely heart.

Mired in ‘me’ and ‘I’,
you shun, again and again, the invitation
that beckons you to remember.

Have you noticed how plants gift you with oxygen,
Or how birdsong,
Encourages you along?

Have you listened deeply to the creak of a swaying tree,
Or observed the wind
dancing with leaves?

Have you considered the beauty of a sunflower,
A sunset,
Or star filled sky?

Have you smelled the sweet fragrance of the forest
after being bathed
with rain?

The touch of warm sand between toes,
Cold water upon skin
Or one hand intertwined with another?

Why do you turn away from this invitation?
You are cherished with every breath and step,
thought and feeling.

Each moment resounds throughout the Universe,
With a sweet chorus of Love,
Welcoming you Home.

A reminder that we were never meant to live disconnected from nature, from each other, or from ourselves.Sometimes healing begins simply by remembering we belong.

As you move into this coming week, what is one part of your routine, mindset, or pace you are willing to gently soften or change?

Beyond Wellness was never just about one stage, one conversation, or one evening.
It was an energy that moved through every corner of the room.

From the honesty of the panel conversations to the quiet moments between strangers becoming connected, this gathering reminded us how powerful authenticity, belonging, and care can truly be.

Each speaker brought not only expertise, but humanity.
And somehow, that feeling still stays with us long after the lights went down.

As we move into this long weekend, may this also be a gentle reminder to slow down, reconnect, and care for yourselves and each other.
To rest. To breathe. To be present with the people who make you feel most like yourself.

Thank you to our incredible speakers, moderators, partners, and every single person who held space with us that night.

This was more than an event.
It was a feeling.
And we are carrying it forward.

I first met Gabor Maté through his words.

As a young family physician trying to understand people beyond their symptoms, his books — especially When the Body Says No and Scattered Minds — profoundly shaped the way I saw health, suffering, trauma, healing, and humanity.

Long before the world knew him as the extraordinary thought leader, speaker, and author he is today, his work reminded many of us in medicine that healing was never meant to be transactional. It was always meant to be deeply human.

Over the years, he became not only a mentor and teacher, but also a dear friend and colleague.

He has been such a meaningful supporter of Zili CARE’s mission — speaking at our conferences in 2019, again in 2023, and now joining us for Beyond Wellness.

The wisdom, compassion, and courage he brings to the world — and his commitment to helping all of us better understand the true essence of health, trauma, healing, and human connection — has deeply influenced my own path and the vision behind

In many ways, this movement exists because voices like his helped so many of us remember that mind, body, and soul were never meant to be separated.

To share the stage with him on April 21st was something I will carry with me forever. 🙏💕

The feeling.
The laughter.
The banter.
The love.
The wisdom.

If you missed it, the conversation is now available to watch for free when you subscribe on the Zili CARE website (see link in bio)

You are not failing.
You are unfolding.

Some days you embody calm.
Some days you search for it.
And both are still love in motion.

Because motherhood was never meant to be mastered perfectly.
It was meant to be lived; messily, tenderly, and moment by moment.

There is no perfect mother.
Only women carrying love, responsibility, exhaustion, hope, and resilience all at once.

And somehow, still showing up.

Yesterday at , I had the privilege of speaking on perimenopause and menopause alongside of and of

What stayed with me most was the energy in the room.

Women leaders gathering with humanity, authenticity, belonging, and care at the centre.

Deep gratitude to the inspiring women I met, amd the founder and curator and to organizations like for the meaningful impact they continue to create.

At the end of the panel, I read something I had written the day before:

“Maybe this season of life was never meant to be hidden, fixed, or feared.

Maybe it was meant to awaken us.

There is grief in letting go of the version of you that survived by overgiving and overfunctioning.

But there is also freedom.

Because on the other side of that grief is wisdom.
Boundaries.
Self-respect.
Truth.
And a deeper return to yourself.

Not less powerful.
But more whole.

And perhaps menopause is not the ending of a woman’s vitality —
but the beginning of her most authentic chapter yet.”

There was something different about this room.
People didn’t just come to attend… they came with intention.
To listen, to reflect, to connect.
And somehow, we were all on the same wavelength, calm, present, and deeply aligned.
That kind of energy can’t be forced… it’s felt.

Beyond Wellness was never just an event—it was a movement.

A room filled with leaders, healers, educators, physicians, changemakers, and community—all coming together to rethink what health and wellbeing truly mean.

What Gabor Maté has spoken about for years—that health is deeply connected to belonging, trauma, connection, and community—is now being recognized and carried forward by all of us.

This is how change begins.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, opened their hearts, and became part of this vision.

This is not just an event.
It is a movement.

Join us.

At a time when so many of us are navigating uncertainty, pressure, and quiet overwhelm…

this gathering became something more than an event.

Beyond Wellness is now fully sold out.

What began as a conversation has turned into a room of 400 people coming together to reflect, reconnect, and redefine what health and care truly mean.

We’re deeply grateful to every voice shaping this evening, our speakers, our health champions, and everyone who said yes to being part of this experience.

This is not about having all the answers.
It’s about creating space for the questions that matter.

For those who couldn’t join us this time — we see you.
More to come.

We’re honoured to have Dr. Mark Sherman joining us at Beyond Wellness.

His work reminds us that healing doesn’t always come from doing more…
sometimes, it begins by slowing down and returning to the present moment.

Through mindfulness and meditation, he brings a powerful perspective to medicine, one that invites awareness, presence, and deeper connection.

Because health is not only clinical…
it’s how we relate to ourselves, our thoughts, and the world around us.

Beyond Wellness is a gathering of voices, perspectives,
and a community coming together to reconnect with ourselves, with each other, and with a more grounded way of living.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, distracted, or out of sync…
this may be your invitation to slow down and come back to yourself.
