Join us for this art-based, virtual workshop as we explore the metaphors of nature to inspire how we find and nurture connection in our own lives. All are welcome, and absolutely no art experience is required. To create a sense of connection through this virtual workshop, participants are invited to participate with their camera on, and there will be time for optional sharing towards the end of the workshop, though sharing is certainly not required.  Essential Art Materials:

Chair Yoga is the way to go when you are reluctant to get into the yoga clothes and get on the mat- challenge yourself with Chair yoga. Chair Yoga is a gentle yoga practice that adapts various traditional postures for practice in the chair or with the support of a chair. It is a gentle form of yoga that involves breath-work, meditation, and gentle stretches; all of which release stress and tension from both body and mind.

Failure is experienced by everyone, but is often seen as "taboo". In this interactive workshop, we will open the conversation around failure and mistakes, discussing how we define failure, how failure is experienced, as well as some tangible strategies to help manage our experiences with failure. There will be opportunities to share experiences (for those who feel up to it) and time to reflect. Participants will walk away with strategies on how to have failure conversations in their own lives.  Registration This session will be rescheduled to a later date.

From time to time, employees may find themselves in need of confidential, professional counselling for personal, family, relationship, and wellness issues adversely affecting work performance or threatening to do so.

Take your Pilates workouts to the next level. The Pilates Reformer is a versatile, bed‑like machine featuring a moving platform called a carriage, which glides along tracks.
