About My Workshops:
I host workshops on a variety of natural health topics that stem from my education and experience in the natural health industry from over the last 15 years.
My passion is hosting workshops that are more like "retreat evenings" that include engaging in activities that allow participants to truly dive in and get to know themselves at a deeper level and strive for participants to leave feeling a bit more inspired about natural health, in control of their health and well-being and most of all feeling good! I incorporate the knowledge I have acquired over the last 15 years and provide the opportunity to take some time for self-care.
Please inquire if you are interested in hosting a space in which I could provide a workshop for a small group. I can tailor to your needs in regards to what you would like the workshop to focus on and for an additional charge, I can provide whole food, mostly organic (when possible) homemade snacks to accompany the workshop with other little surprises and touches that make the workshop special!
Email me for more details: vanessarose@sparrowsong.ca
Looking forward to all of the possibilities!

Chakras 101: An Introduction to Your Energy Body FREE CLASS!
Wednesday January 15th, 2020
Join me for a Wellness Wednesday class that will introduce an aspect of our Energy Body, the Chakra System, to allow participants to get in touch with this network of energy centres that influence an aspect of health from a holistic perspective.
We will explore the characteristics of the 7 Chakras (Root, Sacral, Solar Plexus, Heart, Throat, Third Eye, and Crown), and how they relate to personal health and well-being. Chakras can hold information about experiences, beliefs, and values. When the Chakras are in alignment, a particular state of healing and balance is being worked towards. When Chakras are neglected or repressed, vital energy is not being distributed correctly, potentially contributing to a state of imbalance, illness, and challenges in relationships and overall well-being.
Participants will leave with an understanding of where their Chakras are located and some insight regarding which of their own Chakras may need more attention to ultimately feel the most balanced.

Vision Boarding Workshop
Vision boarding is a fun & creative way to express (and discover) some of your deepest dreams and desires!
Through the use of photographs and cutting out of various magazines, we capture pictures that pull at your heart strings and make you smile (without any judgement) and paste them onto a board.
I always find it interesting to see what emerges. Sometimes a theme shines through, other times a collection of inspiring images present themselves to recharge you. Either way there is no wrong way to do a vision board and either way you most often end up with a board that will make you smile over and over again that brings you joy.
These boards may bring some awareness to our true nature regarding where our heart lies. They can also be used as goal setting boards and/or worked around a theme (career, personal, family) etc.
Its worth noting too how interesting it is to make these boards, date them and later look back and notice how much of your life has included actual aspects that you have placed on your board from years passed.
