Then, you will join Laura Agresta Usui Reiki Master for a one of a kind afternoon that will be peaceful and rejuvenating. This is an opportunity to reconnect to yourself and explore personal healing through Reiki. Reiki is a safe and effective healing modality used for centuries.

Lastly Oracle cards will be offered at the end of the session. 

We recommend eating beforehand and bringing a yoga mat and a reusable water bottle for your comfort. We also suggest bringing a pillow and blanket for your comfort. A limited number of cushioned chairs will be available for those who prefer seating. We’ll also be offering tea to enhance your experience.

Let your creativity bloom in this hands-on "Spring Blossoms Decoupage Workshop"! You will transform a terra cotta pot and a matching plaque into beautiful, personalized pieces using your choice of napkins, featuring a large selection of fresh, spring-inspired favourites. Whether you prefer soft florals, beautiful butterflies or whimsical patterns, there is something just right for you.

After you've created a beautiful, personalized pot, it's time to choose the perfect plant to bring it to life! We’ll have a selection of Gerbera daisies, Snake plants, and Cyclamen, each with its own unique symbolism and care needs. I’ll provide insight into each plant’s meaning, how to care for it, and which one might best fit your lifestyle. Whether you're looking for something low-maintenance, air-purifying, or symbolic of growth and new beginnings, there’s a plant for you! We’ll find the perfect match for your handcrafted pot and bring a little more nature into your space.
