Space for Joy Constellation Circle

A constellation circle is a deeply healing place, a sacred place. Those who come to the circle come to find release from patterns, to have rich encounter with others, to see the world from a new perspective. We leave the circle with insight into our family and ancestral loyalties, with a deeper compassion for others and with a heightened awareness of the depth of our connection. When we set a constellation ourselves, the most common outcome is more freedom to change and to love. In these circles we usually set two or perhaps three constellations. Please pre-register in case the group size must be limited. These circles will be held outdoors during summer and in private homes when we cannot meet outdoors due to inclement weather. The location will be emailed to registered participants a few days before the circle. If there is a last minute change due to weather, that information will be sent the night before the event is scheduled. Note: May circle cancelled.

Nature Constellation Days on Pender Island–

Full Day and Two Day Space for Joy Circles

Being outdoors and on the earth all day adds a richness to the constellation experience that is extraordinary. Healing circles have taken place all over the earth and in all different indigenous cultures. No matter where your genes originate, some of your ancestors will have experienced healing work outdoors in circles with ceremony and celebration. In this circle we have the opportunity to reinforce our connection with mother earth and father sky, with the forest and animals sharing it, with our ancestors, family and community. We will have the assistance of Sombra, our approximately two year old Lab mix. Dogs have been my assistant at most of our outdoor circles and always draw attention to what I am missing.. or the family is missing! For more information about constellation work, its history, how it works, my training, etcetera, see my page on constellation work. I plan to hold this circle on an area we have prepared on our own property specially for this purpose. There will be facilities for shared potluck lunch. Please bring a folding chair and whatever sun protection you require as well as water for yourself and food to share. Dishes and cutlery will be provided.

Dates: July 27 and 28 10 AM- 4:30 PM

Location: Shelley and Lyle’s home on Pender Island

Fee: Registration through Eventbrite

Ki to Health—in person!

Allow ki to support you in leading a happy and robust life. This active and enjoyable day will be held outdoors, breathing in the fresh Pender Island air. As well as breathing, we will do some gentle stretching, lots of ‘Ki-testing’, and learn about how energy moves through your body and through the seasons. We will also discover what restricts the ki or energy from moving and work with what allows energy to flow. Wear comfortable clothing for the day of movement. Bring a water bottle you may refill here, a sun hat in case you need it, a mat for our stretching and a chair if you like. A simple lunch will be provided. 

First Date: Saturday 13 July 2024

Location: Shelley and Lyle’s home on Pender Island

Fee: $95.00
Deposit of $30 required to confirm registration. Balance due on day of class.

Just Reiki– Four Day Reiki Intensive on Pender Island

Imagine four days of deep relaxation, every morning giving and receiving reiki in small groups of two or three, in the quiet of Shelley’s home. We begin the day with a short circle and then move to the treatment tables, having opportunity to practise with different people in the small group each day. Afternoons and evenings are free to enjoy in relaxation, exploration of the island, creative projects, or anything you choose. On the final day we enjoy lunch together and are ready for departure by 2:00 PM. I look forward to hosting a small group for this intensive. Please register as soon as you can as space will be more limited than usual. If you require accommodation on Pender Island, you may contact me for referrals. Accommodation should be booked early as it fills up quickly here!

First Date: 2-5 June 2024

Location: Shelley’s home on Pender Island

Fee: $150.00 includes lunch on the last day

Second Degree Reiki

Second Degree in Usui Shiki Ryoho Reiki is an opportunity to deepen reiki practise and the healing that reiki brings to your life. We discover the rich use of symbols to enhance the practice and how to focus reiki in different ways, for example for mental clearing or for distant treatment. During this time of social distancing my distant reiki practice has become a much larger part of my life than previously. I have been witness to many ‘miracles’ of connection, providing insight into this web of energy that flows between us. Second Degree Reiki enables a deepening of this awareness.

First Date: June 25-27

Location: Shelley’s home ( accommodation may be available at nominal cost)

Fee: $680.00

Reiki: Online Introduction or Refresh

Some connection, with reiki, with me. Ask questions and begin the practice. This is an opportunity for you to become acquainted with me and with the practice of reiki in an online forum. It could also be a wonderful refresher for anyone who feels they have ‘lost touch’ with reiki practice. In the first forty minute session, we will introduce ourselves and you will have a chance to express your questions. I will talk about reiki, my relationship with it and my experience of it in my life. In the second forty minute session I will demonstrate a self treatment as you follow along. This is usually a relaxing and nourishing experience. You will be able to ask questions or make comments as needed. The two sessions will be held consecutively, on one afternoon or evening with only a short break between. You will require a device such as computer, tablet or phone to log into Zoom for the sessions. I would also suggest to have a comfortable seat or lay on a bed or sofa and have water available. Anyone who registers for one of these sessions will be given a $30 discount on the next reiki class they register for with me.
