Gentle Stretch and Strength Sessions Wed/Fri - Forbes Hall

For those who know me, I am back to teaching, for those who don’t know me let me introduce the type of class this is and a little about me as your instructor.

The classes are going to run on Wednesday and Friday’s from 9:45 - 11:00 am.  The classes are going to be a gentle introduction to stretching and strengthening the tissues of our body through connections of movement to our breath.  This is called yoga, however, most people hear that and think they have to be a pretzel.  I am living proof that is not true.  I have 5 compromised discs in my lower back and this gift of gentle movement gives me the strength to move through my daily activities with so much less pain and discomfort.

The classes will be by donation and portion of every class will pay for the space as per the fee and another portion will be donated to the general repayment of debts incurred in building the beautiful new hall that we get the joy of being in.

So hand on heart, I invite you to come explore your body, your breath and your community by coming together in a heart-based practice of yoga.  There is no flow, we gentle hold postures and we finish with a 15-minute meditation and lay down.

I am a trained Yoga teacher, Certified Holistic Health Practitioner, Holistic Nutritionist, and I have a passion for helping people nurture and nourish themselves naturally.  If you would like to speak with me personally, you can contact me at 250-210-0826 or dawn_gordon@telus.net

Dress in loose clothing and bring a yoga mat. (Let me know if you don’t have one as I have many).

We start Friday - June 10th at 9:45.

Warmly,

Dawn

ThINC Nature House Reboot - We want your ideas!

After two seasons of Covid-related restrictions, we’re happy to be able to offer a full summer program of nature and community food security education. Our 2022 summer program fires up Saturday, July 2nd and will have something for everyone, of all ages, residents and visitors.

To help us with our summer programming, we’ve hired Connelly Stirling to run our art- and science-based Nature House program, and Linnea Barrett to deliver community food security education workshops and maintain the People’s Apothecary Garden. Stop by the ThINC table at the Howling Wolf Summer Market on Saturdays and say hi to Connelly. Linnea will start in July.

As we are still developing the summer calendar, we would love to hear your ideas on what you’d like to see in terms of workshops and activities. Also, if you would like to share your nature-related expertise (conduct a workshop for the Nature House program), get in touch! Please respond to Connelly by Monday, June 13th at connelly@thetisislandnatureconservancy.org.

Once finalized, we will put out a full program calendar on our website, our Facebook Page, the Thetis Blog, eSPOKES, and posters around the island. ThINC’s summer programs are made possible through the generosity of the Porter family who donate the use of the Nature House, the Government of Canada Summer Jobs program, the Province of British Columbia, the Thetis Island Community Fund, and Friends of the Nature House memberships. To become a Friend of the Nature House, which includes admission to most programs, visit our website: www.thetisislandnatureconservancy.org.

Thank you,

Charlotte,

ThINC Education and Stewardship Coordinator
