The Ember Circle

Inner Work for Outer Change

  • Your inner fire is sacred.

     

    We’ve thoughtfully designed the Ember Retreat to help you tend it.


    On Dec.12th we’re gathering thirteen women for a day of re-connection, and realignment at Misiwe Ni Relations Healing Lodge in Manotick, Ontario.

     

    This is a day for those who are craving time to pause, recenter, and reflect on the year you’ve had, and intentionally step into the year ahead.

     

    The day will feature heart-centered tools, a healing space, the forest, and a circle of women to support you to shed your ‘shoulds’, amplify your inner voice, and seek clarity on how you want to serve.

     

    We'd be honoured to have you join us.

  • "Jess is a great facilitator, very caring and open. The tools she provided and her insights helped me to think deeply about some of the key questions I am asking myself about who I am in the world, who I want to be, and how I can be more kind, compassionate, and invested in the people I love and the world around me."
