Time is a precious resource. The phrase “time = money” is certainly true in a business setting. Individuals require balance in their work lives so that they can meet both their job requirements and personal needs. Is it possible to manage time at work to be both satisfied and successful? This session will explore answers to this question. Facilitator: Homewood Health Register today!

Gather with Inuit Knowledge Holder Tauni Sheldon to learn more about Inuit Land Claims across Nunangat. The Inuit Land Claims are modern day treaties that Inuit have with the Federal Government that most importantly ensures the right for Inuit self-determination. Each region of Inuit Nunangat has its own self-governance structures that work in Inuit land claim rights. Tauni will share about the importance of Land rights, cultural rights, environmental rights and that Inuit are beneficiaries to their homelands. Everyone is welcome. 

Each session will open with taking some time to connect and presence ourselves in the virtual space: unmuting ourselves, saying hello, telling a story, saying something about how things are going. Next, we will do some breathwork, then a short gratitude practice, and then a short practice of acknowledging (silently) our hopes, our longings, what we are wanting more of in/from life, maybe even asking for it. Following this we will do one of three practices: 1. Coming to our senses 2. Cultivating Equanimity 3. Guided Imagery (active imagination)

Personal boundaries are guidelines, rules or limits that a person creates to identify reasonable, safe and permissible ways for other people to behave towards them and how they will respond when someone passes those limits. Setting boundaries is essential for both physical and emotional health. Recognizing the need to set and enforce limits helps to protect your self-esteem, maintain self-respect, and enjoy healthy relationships. Unhealthy boundaries can cause emotional pain that can lead to dependency, depression, anxiety, and even stress-induced physical illness.
