We are still looking for men between 30 and 45 years old who would love to meet five fabulous ladies!... Sign up here https://www.back2naturewellness.com/eve/speed-date-snowshoe

This is the perfect year to give the gift of ourselves to others! No shopping in crowded malls or waiting for Canada post to deliver, no fancy packaging ( although clothing may not be ‘optional’ here in our SK winter !) and I think both giver and receiver will benefit mightily.

Lots of good info for any who have little ones at home or with your work. Timely too now that COVID is ramping up and we all might be feeling more anxious.

It's that time of year again when we get lots of snow and need to get out there and shovel it! It's also a time when people injure their low backs as a result of doing it incorrectly. Here's some good tips on how to shovel properly and a short video on it.

Dr. Gabor Mate wrote the book When the Body says No about the connection between illness and emotions. He has written several books since then and is an international speaker on health care issues. A few of us from BHC heard him speak in a webinar recently discussing the mind body connection to stress and illness. And, I just watched a great youtube video on it. Coronavirus: Gabor Mate on how your past is affecting your present. Bringing in awareness to what you are noticing in your body sensations now is a key to accepting them and moving through them as you need to. Check out the video on YouTube

I would encourage anyone to take this great Indigenous Canada course from the U of A. You can also access a series of interviews with Dan Levy, Tracy Bear, Paul Gareau and special guests, on Dany Levy's You Tube Channel. In these interviews the group answers student questions and dive deeper into the issues of each weekly lesson. I found them invaluable in enriching my learning experience. Thanks to all those at the U of A involved in building and presenting this course, Dan Levy for spreading the word, and our very own Jenny Kyplain for suggesting that our Practitioners at BHC take the course.

As you all know from waking up this morning, we have snow here, for the next 5 months or so! Remember to be careful out there on the roads and when you're out walking. We see folks here at BHC often over the winter with foot pain, knee and hips aching and general joint inflammation. Keep as active as you can, even indoors at home! Stay safe.

Heres an article that Pam Fichtner wrote about the Broadway Heslth Collective. Take a read if you havent seen the hard copy yet!

Heres a link to the Wholife Journal which is celebrating its 25th year Anniversary.

"Through your breath, food & all you touch, your microbiome is an extension of you. If you isolate yourself from nature & her biodiversity, you will falter in your self-identity, immune function, & in your mind."

Having a baby will bring up any of your past that hasnt been resolved or healed. Thats just how it works. It can get really messy and not at all how you hoped being a parent was going to be. Looking at your own history, how you were parented, those times where you werent seen or met or may have trauma around, will changed everything, including your relationship to your child.

You get to do You!

The OnBeing Project (" Pursuing deep thinking and moral imagination, social courage and joy, to renew inner life, outer life , and life together.) has been a huge source of information for me over the last few years. Their current podcast with Resmaa Menakem, therapist and trauma specialist, speaks to "old wisdom and very new science about our bodies and nervous systems, and all we condense into the word race." As a body centred therapy practitioner, this all makes abundan...t sense to me. First we start with our bodies. What am I noticing? "He caught me bracing at the term white supremacy, and taught me that noticing such bracing is exactly where I have to begin to live differently. Hes drawing on knowledge were just now gaining about systems and processes in our bodies that were only now learning to see: vagus nerve, psoas muscle, trauma, epigenetics. He makes a stunning connection between generations of trauma that white bodies inflicted on each other in the centuries we call the Dark Ages and the generations of horrific trauma inflicted on black bodies in the new world of America which, as Langston Hughes wrote, never was America to me. We are all literally carrying breathing, reliving, and so repeating much that didnt happen to us personally. Its one way to finally grasp why talking about race, and teaching our brains to think better about race, has fallen brutally, tragically short: The vital force behind white supremacy, Resmaa Menakem writes in his extraordinary book My Grandmothers Hands, is in our nervous systems. "

Were starting to wrap up our Saskatoon Food Bank fundraiser! To help us celebrate how successful it is, Pam Fichtner, partner Dale Jack and kids Rowan and Siobhan put together this video. What better way to have some fun than to have a sing-a-long and belt this out in the privacy of our own home. Bonus, you massage your Vagus Nerve at the same time. Great for regulating your nervous system. I want you to want me! ... Please DONATE >> bit.ly/GoFundMeBHC
