Dharma Breath with Jacqui Tracy
2026-02-22 12:30 - 16:00 | Ohana Health and Wellness, 1436 Main st N, Callander, ON, P0H1H0, Canada
𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐃𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐚 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐡®
Stress and tension often cause us to hold our breath and repress our feelings. Over time, these accumulated feelings demand increasing amounts of energy to suppress, creating a debt in the vitality we bring to our lives.

Dharma Breath® accesses vast amounts of energy that can be transformed into your desires. Tom Lodge explains, “Focusing on the trauma gives it energy. Understanding the event is not necessary to eliminate its effect.” He references R.D. Laing, who said, “Obsession with past events is like a person in a dungeon. The door is open for them to walk out, yet they choose to stay until they can figure out how they got there.”

Dharma Breath® provides a practical technique that you can use at home to relieve and manage stress. It encourages you to embrace the present moment and live life to the fullest, as we all deserve.

Feedback from those who have participated in Ayahuasca (Iowaska) ceremonies reveals that Dharma Breath® achieved even more for them personally in terms of expanding their consciousness—without any side effects. Conscious breathing connects us to our spirit, fostering clarity and peace.

𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫
Jacqui Tracy, a Registered Master of Dharma Breath®, brings over three decades of experience to this transformative practice. She is dedicated to sharing her wisdom and insights, nurturing growth in students of all ages.

Have you ever noticed the more you try to FORCE outcomes, relationships, feelings, energy, healing, etc. — the farther away you seem to be from the “desired” outcome?
In my life, I notice that when I am forcing things and holding tight, it is coming from a deep-seated place of anxiety and fear. Not only does the journey of this feel clunky, angsty, and rigid — the outcome never satisfies either.
However, when I lean into my breathwork practice and other supportive practices that connect me home to my inner peace, inner trust, and inner balance, my fear and my need to control subside. Subsequently, my ability to flow and trust brims with energy; my existence into the flow becomes alive and begins to move with grace into abundance.
Looking forward to breathing with YOU!

Express Your Soul Workshop
2026-02-01 14:00 - 16:30 | Ohana Health and Wellness, 1436 Main st N, Callander, ON, P0H1H0, Canada
Express Your Soul Workshop
Integrative Yoga & Soul Card Creation Under the Leo Moon
Under the radiant energy of the Leo Moon, you’re invited into an afternoon of embodied expression, creativity, and heart-led reflection. This offering lives at the intersection of yoga, astrology, and expressive arts, inviting you to explore what wants to be seen, felt, and expressed from within.
The Leo archetype calls us toward authenticity, courage, and creative self-expression—reminding us that our inner world longs for acknowledgment and play. Through an integrative, gentle yoga practice, we’ll use mindful movement, breath, and somatic awareness to soften self-judgment and reconnect with the body as a source of wisdom and truth.
From there, you’ll be guided into an intuitive creative process to make your own Soul Card. Soul Cards are representations of our true selves, created using cardstock and various collage materials, images, words, and symbols. Rather than focusing on artistic outcome, this process emphasizes listening inward and allowing meaning to emerge organically.
No prior yoga or art experience is needed. This is a space for curiosity, expression, and presence—where everything that arises can be met as information, insight, and invitation.
Come as you are. Leave feeling more connected to your inner light, your creative essence, and the part of you that longs to be expressed.
Pre-registration is required.

Special Pop-up Paint Day
“Moon Goddess”
with Margie Bettiol
Artist & Holistic Health Practitioner
This “Paint Night” is being held on the day of the New Moon. The significance of the new moon in many ancient practices, is that it is considered to be a time/opportunity to consider a new beginning, maybe to some part of a person’s life, or perhaps, persona. Doing this moon painting on this day has a two-fold intention: to produce a painting representative of a person’s intent for this new moon and to bring a ‘Moon Goddess’ into being. The photo shows a blue background, however you will be able to paint any colour of background.
Margie Bettiol is an accredited Intentional Creativity® teacher and intuitive healer who facilitates trans-formative art experiences primarily and is new to our area. For well over 20 yrs Margie has been organizes workshops & retreats. Her practice focuses on guiding women through “soulful, healing experiences” that merges traditional wisdom with modern artistic expression.

Women’s Circle: Introduction to Full Moon Ceremonies
2025-09-26 18:30 - 20:00 | ON
This is simply an opportunity to share information to my approach to Full Moon Ceremonies. There is no commitment to join. I will be holding full moon ceremonies at OHANA monthly for a small group of 10 women. I have been involved in Full Moon Ceremonies for many years and over time I have redesigned them to really focus on individual personal healing. These ceremonies are for those of us who are on a path of conscious change using intention as a guide. This gathering today is simply to share my process. Once we have a group committed to the process, we will take time initially to ensure that each of us has clear direction. For now, I am just sharing the process to see if anyone might be interested in joining.
OHANA: Friday, September 26 6:30-7:30/8pm STUDIO

House of Hearts: Intentional Creativity Painting
2025-09-25 17:00 - 21:00 | Ohana Health and Wellness, 1436 Main st N, Callander, ON, P0H1H0, Canada
First, no painting experience is required for any of my courses. This is a whole different approach to painting. We will start with a red Thread circle and we will finish the day with a red thread circle.
Setting the intention for painting is primary. House is a metaphor for “you”. I will guide you through a process to consider “what is in your house /heart?” From there, I will guide you through a process to consider where you go from here. You will set intention for what you hope to achieve, you will draw an energy oracle card for guidance, I will lead you through a guided drum journey with the intent to help bring information/guidance for what you need to know. This will help develop the last part of the painting.
