Heather McDermid
I'm a Certified Yoga Instructor (RYT-500) who has been practicing and studying the ancient art of Yoga for more than 20 years. To me, Yoga is a way of life, that heals and unifies mind, body and spirit. Yoga has enabled me to uncover the place within of pure joy and peace. I infuse the sister science of Yoga, Ayurveda, into my daily life for health & healing. I'm looking forward to developing my abilities as a trained Reiki energy healer. My desire is to assist others in finding optimal health, healing and enlightenment!
My practice is based out of my hometown of Stonewall, Manitoba. Raising a family is at the heart of this journey, we are blessed with 3 energetic children, Yoga really helps to keep me balanced! As well we enjoy a growing number of animals on our little hobby farm!
​
I love bringing people together! I hope you'll be inspired to join us for this transformational and joyful experience!
Looking forward to welcoming you, as I'm the host of this retreat. I will be leading the Yoga sessions dispersed throughout and available for a private session.
Stephanie Snadden
I’m an Herbalist and Elemental Healer with a firm belief in a holistic approach to healing. I am beyond grateful to live in the forest with my husband and three children, connecting to the wisdom of nature every day, harvesting and creating plant medicine in the most respectful and ethical of ways, learning from animal teachings and doing the soul work that guides me.
I honour the gifts offered by the earth, the seasons and cycles, and gravitate towards the intelligence of what is often needed is provided at the time it is presented.
My offerings combine herbalism with shamanism, elementals, sound, animals, astrology and reiki.
​
At the retreat, I will be leading the Intention Setting Tea Ceremony and available for a private session!

Angela White
Angela is an awakened creator who is in regular conversation with the universe and beyond. She loves to commune with nature and fall into the present moment through laughter and play. She is obsessed with the purpose of our lives, the feeling of truth in our bodies and the vividness of life, in both sunshine and rain.
​
At the retreat, I will be co-leading the Out Loud session with Marni!

Marni Daun
Marni is a spiritual being who is having a human experience. She is a Sanskrit mantra junkie having a torrid love affair with the present moment. Being intimately connected with joy, she adores witnessing people express the fullness of God from within. Join Marni in releasing shame and everything holding you back from living this gloriously happy, peaceful, and abundant life.
​
At the retreat, I will be leading the Friday night Meltdown and co-leading the Out Loud session with Angela!

Trish Baldwin
I am a Certified Life Coach, completely fascinated by human behaviour. The study of mindset and human potential has occupied much of my time for over a decade. Deep conversation fills my heart. When we come together, I am invested in you - for you to have a greater sense of who you are and who you can be. As your coach, I will use thought-provoking questions to help you identify obstacles, pinpoint resistance, challenge assumptions, and gain fresh perspectives. You will begin to hear yourself (maybe for the first time in a long time) and start to make conscious choices from the firm foundation of your own wisdom. There is room for experimentation, trial, and error. We do this all with compassion, curiosity, and humor.

At the retreat, I am available for a private coaching session! For more info https://fiercechoosing.ca

Kim Meades
It has been a privilege and honor to have been on the Yoga Path for over half of my life now. I enjoy studying and sharing the many threads that Yoga embodies to guide us on our daily path.
Yoga helps me to integrate the physical, mental, breathing, emotional and energetic pieces of my BEING. I hope to share some tools that will help guide you on your PATH.
​
At the retreat, I will be leading the Body Rolling session.

Carla Kummen
Energy healing is the conscious act of connecting to and directing universal life force energy. Carla firmly believes that all human beings are healers and all healing is self-healing. Working with Carla, you learn how to awaken, distribute and withdraw prana (universal life force energy) consciously for healing yourself and others.
At the retreat, I'm available for a private energy healing session as well as leading the Yoga Nidra session.

Deb Hartle
I started my healing journey over 10 years ago by going to spiritual events...which lead to a retreat in Hawaii...which lead to taking a health coaching course 2014 -2015.
Then I took my Reiki Levels/Master 2015 - 2016.
The past couple of years I have connected with nature like never before, I feel at home when I get among the trees and by the water. While exploring with my camera I feel guided to what to take pictures of.
Since my recent retirement I have been able to put more focus back on Energy Healing.
As I continue to grow stronger everyday my Desire is to Help as many other people as possible to Feel more at Ease with Better Health & Well-Being!
