Seeds of Joy

Workshops and Retreats 

Guided through the process of the workshops by experienced facilitators, Seeds of Joy workshops and retreats are designed to help participants reconnect with themselves and regain balance in their lives.   Workshops and retreats are held on request at a location of your choice and periodically on Manitoulin Island, Sudbury and throughout surrounding areas.   

We can work with you to customize activities to suit the individual needs of your group.   We offer simple, practical ways to help you restore balance to the Body, Mind & Spirit.

Workshops/Day Retreats

Samples of  some of the  workshops and activities that we can facilitate.  Come and be an explorer on your own personal healing journey as we access the potential for change within. 

Writing from Within: An introduction to journal writing. Discover new writing techniques and help overcome writer's block. Re-ignite your creativity and uncover issues that may be preventing you from leading life to its fullest. 

Meditation/Visualization:  Meditation is a simple way to balance a person's physical, emotional, and mental states. It is a calming and centering practice that offers relaxation and a way to reconnect to the self.  Visualization  may enhance the meditation process.

Life Balance Wheel    This exercise helps to identify the areas where your life may be out of balance. The participants seek to understand what they truly want in the different areas of their lives and then take steps to achieve those goals..

Circle Dance:  This is a grass roots phenomenon  which is spreading rapidly throughout the world.  It has evolved from many different dance traditions and is a meditative exercise that encompasses the body, mind, spirit & emotions.  Each dance is different. Sometimes the dance will emphasize the joy and play of the dance, and sometimes it is more relaxing and meditative.  The circle dance cultivates a sense of community and well being. 

Clarity Circle is a means to encourage dialogue, identify problems and explore solutions as a group.  

Healing Through Art:  Art and the creative process have been found to be healing and uplifting. This workshop encourages the participants to use various art forms to discover, explore and gain insight into their every day experiences. 

Mandalas  From the Sanskrit word meaning whole world or healing circle mandalas are an ancient art form.  Creating mandala designs awakens our creative spirit and provides a meditative and relaxing exercise.  

Labyrinth Walks are a very interesting form of walking meditation. Using the pattern of a labyrinth as the focal point, participants have an opportunity to problem solve and gain personal insight. 

Healing Circles are talking circles in a quiet, safe environment.  These may be traditional or based on other customs. 

Day retreats are held by request and periodically on Manitoulin Island, Sudbury and throughout surrounding areas.  Customized days for your group may be arranged at a location of your choice.  Cost for day retreats are $40.00 per person. Includes lunch and supplies.   

Weekend Retreats 

These incorporate many of the individual workshops listed above. 

Insight and Inspiration for the Soul   Through group and individual activities, participants will work towards discovering inner peace. 

Celebrating Ourselves This is an opportunity to realize the positive aspects of our lives and build on them. 

Taking Care of Me will help determine which areas of your life are out of balance.  Sessions will explore the areas of body, mind & spirit and will offer ways to restore balance.
