We are very proud of our lunch program and our wonderful lunch crews – the meals they craft are fit for top restaurants and we are grateful for their time, skill, and care in preparing our weekly lunch. Currently, on Wednesdays our volunteer-led lunches are aimed at providing meals that are well balanced, nourishing and easily tolerated. The meals provided are especially crucial to many of our members who live on limited incomes such as disability benefits. Lunches also provide an important time for social interaction, countering the isolation that often accompanies living with life interrupting illness.

Yin + Sound is a 90-minute Yin Yoga + Sound Healing experience designed to support deep rest and intentional slowing down. This practice invites you inward, into a space where body, mind and spirit can soften, release and reset. The long, meditative holds of Yin create space within the body, while sound gently harmonizes the nervous system, releasing tension and inviting balance. Together, they create a deeply nurturing experience, a union of movement and vibration that restores energy, quiets the mind and reconnects you to your natural state of peace. We’ll begin with a gentle, 30 min all-levels yin yoga practice (no experience required), designed to ease you into stillness and prepare your body for deep rest. An extended shavasana will flow into a nurturing sound bath, where the soothing vibrational frequencies of crystal and Tibetan signing bowls along with gongs and chimes invite profound presence and relaxation. Guided by intuition and energy I’ll move throughout the room, weaving sound both individually and collectively to support the unique energy of the group. Expect to leave feeling grounded, clear and energetically renewed. Notes: · You’ll be lying down for the duration of the sound bath, so please bring anything you need to feel comfortable, such as a blanket, pillow or eye cover. Bolsters and blocks will be available on site. · To honour the quiet nature of this experience, please arrive 10 minutes early to settle in.
