Transform Your Life at the Samana Wellness Retreat 2025

Leave a comment

This summer has been jam packed with so many things but the thing that we are most proud of is that we have finally launched a week long retreat! Kimberley Gunning from Kaleidoscope Wellness Niagara has teamed up with Melanie DiPaola of the Zen Collective to bring to life an amazing retreat in Samana, Dominican Republic, February 13-20, 2025.

This is really big! Kimberley realized that without taking the risk this wouldn’t happen. It has been a dream to follow her passion and create a wellness retreat that is accessible to more women, but for that she needed to believe and step out of her comfort zone. Along came Melanie from Zen House Yoga Studio who loves helping women stretch figuratively and literally. Over a cup of tea at a local farmer’s market there was a resounding “yes” followed by brainstorming and hours of development.

There has been so much to think about and many things to plan but it is finally here and we look forward to spending time with women who are ready to transform their lives or maybe they just need to slow down a minute to figure life out.

It is a week of being intentional and prioritizing yourself. We will unpack a few things and examine the barriers that get in our way. The wellness portion has been carefully created with an emphasis on the mind, body, spirit connection. After the retreat you will be invited to join in four Post Integration Sessions to help you stay connected to your new found community and for a little accountability as you implement some of the things you have learned.

A Smashing Evening! Kintsugi Bowls & Mocktails

Leave a comment

Friday, June 21, 2024 from 7:00-9:00 p.m. at Zen House Yoga Studio, Niagara Falls, ON

Join us for a lighthearted evening of laughter, creativity and embracing imperfection. Learning about ourselves doesn’t always have to be so serious and self care is better when done in connection with others. This evening will include the philosophy behind the Kintsugi bowl, a meditation, charcuterie and cocktails and the smashing of bowls as we go through the process of Kintsugi to create your own piece infused with resilience and beauty.

Join us as we Manifest 2024 with our new Vision Board Workshop

Leave a comment

You will learn to go deeper and find more value than a typical Vision Board. You have an innate wisdom within you, and unique yearnings that are meant only for you. You deserve to know how to cultivate this, how to achieve your higher calling, how to trust yourself, how to feel the way you desire to feel. This Vision Board Workshop goes beyond goals, resolutions and habits. You are going to learn a somatic approach to bring your vision to life.

Who we are:  This interactive and creative session is being lead by Kimberley Gunning, MSW, Reiki II and owner of Kaleidoscope Wellness Niagara and Melanie DiPaola, RYT, Reiki II and founder of the Zen Collective.

What to Expect:

We will introduce you to psychotherapy techniques to let go of preconceived ideas and self-limiting beliefs. It is not about what we want and think we need.  The fundamental goal is to dig deep and know how to find the things that make us smile.

Before we begin creating we will explore the use of positive affirmations, meditation, somatic process, and the use of sound vibration with a singing bowl to set intention and amplify the effectiveness of your vision board.

Workshop Includes: All the necessary materials to make your vision board, including magazines, glue sticks, scissors, and boards.  A light refreshment will be provided.

Join Melanie and Kimberley for an unforgettable experience that empowers you to take charge and lighten your load with a little laughter and connect with your heart.

Your Investment: $44

Feeling Grateful

Leave a comment

I know that the world is filled with messages that we should feel grateful. Anyone who knows me knows how I feel about “shoulding all over yourself.” This morning though I do feel incredibly grateful to receive a Reader’s Choice Award in 2 categories!

This year hasn’t turned out quite the way I expected it to. Spoiler alert…and neither will 2024. This certainly isn’t a surprise because the universe always has other plans and sometimes what happens even if it is difficult and unwanted it is really what we needed. Yes, 2023 was filled with lessons and some of them I learned and others kept coming back around to tell me to dig a little deeper. Regardless of how I may feel, I did something right and that feels amazing because it meant I helped others find their “why”. Working in connection with other humans and walking along with them during a challenging time in their life is a gift and I thank those who have trusted me and allowed me to be part of their transformation. It motivates me to be a better therapist, to be present and to show up in life even on the days that are hard.

Thank you! If you are looking for a mental heath tune up, I will be accepting new and returning clients for 2024.
