Remembering the Village
“THE REUNION”
SAVE THE DATE!
The dream has spoke clearly, and it is with great honour the dates for REMEMBERING THE VILLAGE 2025 are released - you are invited to join us August 15, 16, 17, 2025.
WHAT IS THIS:
This will be the 4th annual gathering known as "Remembering the Village".
This gathering is created from a vision, cared for like a sacred gem, and fed by ceremony & collective.
This is an outdoor, family friendly gathering where we experience what it is to come together in a way that requires us to lean on one another to learn, share and grow. Naturally, this means we are challenged, we are asked to lean in, to meet resistance, overcome discomfort and create space for expression, joy, healing, connection and belonging.
Location reveal, ticket sales and workshop/vendor applications launching soon!!!
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT:
The values of this gathering are an active practice of what it’s like to come together in a meaningful way.
How do we do it?
Hollow Bones Series - Each morning we rise and gather in circle to connect through breath, movement & meditation. We will share our sleeping dreams; open our hearts and our minds to become vessels to receive wisdom to share with the collective.
Workshops - Throughout the day a variety of workshops will be offered for all ages; including land-based practices such as how to make a fire with a bow drill, creating outdoor shelters, hide softening, sour dough making, basket weaving, shadow work, conflict resolution, energy clearings, and more.
Games & Activities - Staying active, working together and laughing are essential medicine. We will honour the little-ones around us, as well as within us, by embracing playfulness through games and crafts.
Sacred Theatre - An evening for expression is a must! Sing, dance, tell a joke, a story, a game… any and all acts are welcome!
(This is a gathering highlight for sure!)
Healing Village - There is a space for people to be to receive support, healing and relaxation. This is a co-created space where the healer within each of us is invited to step forward and offer our medicine.
Family Feast - A beautiful dinner our final night together, with colourful table clothes, radiant flowers, uplifting songs, toasts to the olds ones and the sensation of delight. This is a special way that we mark the passing of our time together.
Shared Meals - remembering that when we bring food, prepare food, share food together we are feeding ourselves by feeding one another. We will continue in this way, each bringing an item or two and sharing the responsibility of what it takes to feed a village.
Beauty & Hospitality - How do we create more beauty in each moment? Through song, story, laughter, tears, fairy homes, dirty hands; what else? We will continue to tend to beauty each day.
Camping - the land is ready for you. Bring your tent your trailer, we will create the village together and support one another in set up.
(If you need to drive home each night and return, you’re welcome to, although we encourage you to stay!)
All this; and more and less, is what the dream has revealed. It will truly be something special, this I know. Your presence is required, it won’t be the same without you.
What is the investment?
We recognize finances vary for individuals and families; and that the flow of financial abundance can also vary throughout the year. We want to make this event accessible while also being confident in the value and also realistic in the overcost to make 'a go of it. This is why we have a sliding-scale ticket option for both “pre-sales” and “regular sales”.
This allows flexibility for those facing financial constraint, and invitation for those feeling abundant.
We also have a limited number of volunteer tickets available for $111 + 10 hours of contribution towards the gathering (these will be done by application).
Pre-registration tickets:
Adult Ticket: $222-$444
Teens 13 years to 18 years: $75-$100

I do this by working privately with clients on a 1:1 basis, as well as providing group sessions and hosting transformational workshops and experiences.

As a certified energy practitioner & initiatory guide, I provide 1:1 energy clearing & rebalancing sessions as well as group sessions.

Each session is client-led, and includes an energy clearing using The Mayson Method™ with after-care practices catered to you and the support you desire.

The investment for this 4 session package at 90 min each is $444.
To book a session please email michellenewlands@gmail.com
Or learn more here.
Booking a Group Session:Humans are collective beings; even if we are introverted, or identify as a highly autonomous person and/or choose to live independently of others.
Our soul carries an aspect of the collective energy of the universe.
What the heck does this mean?
It means that when we come together with intention to heal, transform and change, we have the ability to amplify the potential.
This is why I love to offer group sessions.
Wether in person or online, I walk the group through an introduction to what energy medicine is, how it works, and conduct a collective group clearing & rebalance.
I have offered group sessions at festivals, intentional gatherings, study groups, business teams, close-knit communities, even to a group of strangers who joined me on over Zoom for my free 90 minute workshop; in each experience the feedback was that they left feeling lighter, more in alignment with their intentions and more connected.
If you are part of a team or community and would like to organize a group session, please contact me for group rates.
“The group session was magical. I felt tucked into the group energy and could strongly sense the energy clearing.
Your words were so relevant to me, and it was a visceral feeling in my body and in my energy space to let those things go.
It felt easy, easeful and powerful during the session, and now post session I feel so calm and open and like my aura (energy body) stretches around the whole world.”
What People Are Saying:
“When facing transitional times, Michelle's support offers a powerful opportunity for deeper learning, growth and intentional change. Her unique framework of guidance provides a clear map in the terrain of soul.
I have had the privilege of working with Michelle in many capacities. Whether through energy clearing, authentic movement, breathwork, intuitive coaching, or ritual offerings, I have been profoundly impacted by her dedication to supporting the truest expression of all aspects of this human experience - mind, body, emotions and spirit.
Not only is Michelle skilled in her many offerings, her guidance and willingness to go into the depths with you creates a wholly transformative experience. ”
— Caroline. Onaway, AB
“After one session I felt a shift. I literally felt the weight of past generational trauma life. I felt lighter, less anxious and more in control of my emotions.
Michelle opened the door to experience a new way of healing, one that has helped me be more grounded, calm, inspired, energized and present.”
— Shamsa. Trenton, ON.
“Working with Michelle is transformative - she has an incredible way of not only helping me clear the things I bring to our sessions but intuitively touching into the other parts affecting me.
I appreciate that we can work in person or at a distance and feel the results are equally supportive. She often gives me a few "homework" pieces which help me integrate what we've worked on. I come away feeling seen, held and less burdened. Michelle's work is a gift to those who receive it and I feel endless gratitude for her care.”
— Katt. Edmonton, AB.

Her wisdom and guidance belies her years. This is a truly magical way to heal!”

Classes, Programs & Events
-
Ecstatic Dance & Authentic Movement
Ecstatic dance can be described in many ways. To me it is a conscious practice that encourages authentic movement, emotional release, body-curiosity and self-expression. As a facilitator I offer classes to all levels and abilities.
I specialize in offering authentic movement and ecstatic dance experiences for womxn’s circles, children/youth & ceremonies.
All classes incorporate aspects of mindfulness, body awareness, somatic release, dynamic breathwork, self-expression, ritual, ceremony and more. -
Programs, Events & Collaborations
I create safe, brave & initiatory containers for individuals to connect, heal, grow and express themselves.
( Yes, I believe safe spaces, brave spaces and initiatory spaces each have their own distinguished qualities).
In addition to 1:1 sessions, regular classes and workshops, I offer a variety of conscious programs, events & collaborations both online and in person.
I travel across Canada, and offer seasonal programs in Alberta and Ontario, Canada.
