This new, five-day program has its roots in the extremely popular Transforming Fear and Anxiety program which ran at The Haven and in other locations for many years. Transforming Anxiety and Stress broadens the focus to include stress, an issue many struggle to manage in our busy lives.

 

The invitation is to take the risk to face your anxiety, and make use of its potential for changing and advancing your life. In addition, you will understand more about how you get stressed, and learn practical methods for managing your stress level.

 

Many people find stress and anxiety troubling or even debilitating. People use a variety of self-defeating behaviours in order to avoid them, including becoming numb or out of touch. However, we know that suppressing stress and anxiety creates ill health and other problems, including relationship difficulties.

 

In fact, anxiety and stress are evidence of exceptional, challenging and potentially transformative energies at work.

I really want to say how positive my experience this week was. David and Sandey as leaders were so special. I really connected to them and love their personalities. It really helped me push myself and make usually stressful contact for me easier and very meaning full.
Thank you so much for a special week of growth.

Masterfully, you've created a collective space where I feel like I was the centre of the universe.
I'm glad that the dancing never stopped. It was an opportunity for me to just let go. I have a feeling that a group of people will be dancing around in my mind at the beginning of each day.
I'm not done.

David and Sandey were amazing, truly wonderful guides through this transformation. I love their belief that we are not 'fixing' or getting rid of a part of ourselves we are just transforming the parts that aren't working for us.

I am really glad I chose to participate in this class. When I arrived I gauged my stress level at 8.5. This morning I took a breath and felt my body and put my stress level at 3.5. I was anxious about the program and now find myself excited and happy to leave Gabriola and take up my life and its challenges again.
Thanks!
