One Balanced Life

Personal Renewal Groups (PRG) Starting in June
When:
June 3rd meets the 1st Wednesday of the month from 7:00-9:00pm
(possibly another group starting Sunday evenings - contact me if you're interested)

Feel supported, nurtured, and empowered with this group of mothers of babies ages 9 months to 18 years.

Meet once a month for 6 months to explore and learn 1) how to reconnect with who you are, 2) strategies for making self-care a priority so you can live, love, and parent optimally, and 3) how to experience greater life balance. Each month, we’ll spend time chatting, exercising our bodies a bit, and reflecting on the amazing path of motherhood.

This PRG is based on the exciting new book The Mother’s Guide to Self-Renewal: How to Reclaim, Rejuvenate, and Re-Balance Your Life by Rennee Tradeau and led by a trained personal renewal group facilitator. Check out www.reneetrudeau.com for more information.

Each class is 2 hours, and the 6-month session is $180, which includes The Mother’s Guide. Register soon as this group is filling fast. You can register by contacting me via email sarinalamarche@yahoo.com, or phone 612-285-9851, or here.

I had the opportunity to attend an amazing retreat with Renee Trudeau this past weekend. A truly amazingly powerful and life-changing experience. I'm sorta at a loss for words in terms of explaining it. But essentially a million little reminders about the power of slowing down, being silent, listening, and being present. Renee has a launched a campaign called Live Inside Out. Which is all about slowing down and living more intentionally. It is about learning to respond to circumstances rather than reacting to them. And it is about creating a life that is driven by your internal values—as opposed to external or societal values and living from a place of peace, rather than a place of fear (and making decisions that are reflective of this). 

If this sounds appealing you can join the movement by:
* Downloading a copy of her book for FREE (see earlier post for details)
* Attending my FREE Self-Renewal Party at Blooma (see earlier post for details)
* Joining a Personal Renewal Group (Contact me to register)

One Balanced Life Workshop
What:    Does your life feel out of balance? In this fun and creative workshop you will learn about balance and self-care. During the first hour you’ll be guided through an exercise where we’ll assess your life, clarify what is important, and finish by identifying and designing the life you desire. In the second hour you will get to create a "Balance Box" using pictures from magazines, books, papers, buttons, stamps, whatever supplies appeal, that represent how you want to "be" in 2009.  You’ll leave with box filled with small steps you can take to create the life you want in the New Year. (All supplies included but feel free to bring pictures, poems, fabric, or anything else you want to adorn your box with).
When:     Sunday March 8th, 5-7pm

Give yourself the gift of discovery this Mother’s Day - register for a Mamas Rediscovered workshop here. Through the experience of massage, exercises, reflection, and discussion I will be partnering with Julie Kesti, Shiatsu Massage Therapist to support you in finding energy, inspiration, balance, and peace. During this workshop you will identify ways to care for yourself and start creating the life you want. This workshop is the ultimate in self-care: time for reflection & the experience of Asian Bodywork.
