Shake up your usual routine with a weekend wellness retreat! From September 29 to October 1, 2023, learn sustainable practices at Elevate Cochrane to uplevel your overall health under the guidance of an incredible array of local wellness experts and teachers.
Sponsored in part by Two Pharmacy & Natural Market, participating businesses will be opening their doors for hands-on workshops to create beneficial products like natural skincare, or service samples like massage therapy for you to add to your self-care arsenal.
Here are five ways to experience Elevate Cochrane this fall.
1. Break down barriers with the We Are Cochrane speaker series
Kick off your wellness retreat by getting to know our community through the inspiring We Are Cochrane speaker series on Friday, September 29. The event will feature four remarkable speakers who will tug on your heart strings with candid and heartfelt personal stories.
Similar to a TED Talk, this platform offers a unique opportunity to meet community members, fostering a deeper understanding of diverse perspectives while connecting through shared experiences.
Let the power of storytelling inspire you as we celebrate the strength and unity of Cochrane’s residents.
2. Odagugiciye Apiiciyabic/Building Relations – Traditional Powwow
On Saturday, September 30, we encourage attendees to continue sharing their community spirit at events marking the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Bearspaw First Nation, Chiniki First Nation, Goodstoney First Nation and Town of Cochrane in partnership with SLS Centre invite you to attend Odagugiciye Apiiciyabic/Building Relations – Traditional Powwow that will be taking place at the SLS Centre from Noon to 8 pm.
3. Awaken joy with a personalized wellness retreat
Prioritize your self-care and discover the abundance of wellness expertise within our community. Sunday, October 1 will be an unforgettable day of wellness activities spotlighting local businesses with a diverse range of wellness workshops, classes, and services.
Move your body with yoga and fascial stretch therapy before delving into chiropractic services, massage, and hypnotherapy. Then, reorganize your heart and home with life coaching, Feng Shui, and other practices. Simply add sessions to your personal event schedule when you register for the weekend.
3. Use frequencies to promote healing
Another highlight of Elevate Cochrane is the enchanting crystal singing bowls session by Timmy Wijnen and Gayle Leary at Amaryllis Crystal Portal. The crystal bowls, carefully tuned to healing frequencies, can help promote emotional and physical well-being while introducing a state of calm. Complete tranquility awaits!
After your session, don’t forget to check out the shop for crystal singing bowls, gemstones, tarot cards, essential oils, incense, books, candles, and more, so you can continue to cultivate inner peace at home.
The wide range of holistic and spiritual products can enhance your self-care journey—you’ll love aligning your body and spirit through deep relaxation.
4. Harness the powers of your mind
Join clinical hypnotherapist Greg German of LifeCraft for transformative soundscapes paired with hypnotherapy. The event, dubbed WaveCraft, explores a drug-free, introspective state as hypnotic cues allow participants to release any emotions that are no longer serving them, and replace them with positive affirmations for the unconscious mind.
Practicing gratitude is all the rage, but life coach Kelly Beaton shows you how to make it a sustainable practice! Receive quick tips and valuable resources for establishing a steadfast gratitude practice through life’s ups and downs.
