Are you living your best life? A pair of Kelowna women have created a group that aims to help others get back in touch with what really matters most.
Is it for you? Check out our interview here and decide for yourself.
Lori Hazel and Terry-Lynn Hemmerling co-founded the group, and they have a mini-retreat planned for later this month.
Hemmerling described the common problem many of us face as, "The to-do list running your rather than you running your to-do list." She said people need to ask themselves this question: "At the end of it all, will I have gotten to the things that really did matter to me, and how do we really figure that out."
The group has what they call 'Seasonal Practices'. "We do a little bit of Yoga, we do a little bit of meditation, we do some intention setting," said Hazel. "We kind of sift through what's going on our life." She said it's a chance to take stock. "Maybe there are some things in our life, that really aren't serving us anymore."
After the mini-retreat there is follow-up. "We've created a journal that you take home and there's 40 days of prompts," said Hemmerling."Each morning around 6:00 am either Lori or myself, in your email you get a little motivation, a little piece of writing or something that we hope keeps the fire burning."
And apart from all the intention setting, the bonus is the friendships that come out of the process.
"Despite being such a connected culture that we live in," added Hemmerling, "there's a sense of isolation and sometimes loneliness that can happen as we're running from one thing to the next."
The next gathering of the group is September 28 at the No Harm Farm.
