On May 21 Dianna Graves will facilitate a simple walking ceremony for ten women 40+ on the Kinsol Trestle trail in Shawnigan Lake, BC.

 The purpose is to intentionally focus on creating more of what you want in life while connecting with your body in nature to bring clarity, inspiration, and direction.

The walk is from 1 to 3 pm (rain or shine) beginning in the parking lot then proceeding on the trail, down to the river, and return. The participants will learn an easy yet powerful intention setting process to focus, be present, listen to intuition, and create meaningful actions for daily practice.

 The New Moon is the first phase of the lunar cycle and usually appears mid-month. It is known for new beginnings and is a natural time to set an intention and create change. Often during this time people find they are craving something ‘new’, yet don’t know why.

 For women, the monthly moon cycle historically symbolizes receptive femininity. It mirrors the life-death-rebirth cycle as we go through ages and stages. The New Moon is a natural time for like-hearted women to gather in community and nourish our feminine spirit – to pause, gain clarity on what no longer serves us, and focus on what does. For women over 40 who are experiencing major life transitions, the support of other women is nourishing and helps with healing.

 Setting intentions is a helpful strategy when feeling stuck and unsure of the future. Consider it like setting a GPS point that connects to the larger roadmap of your life. Every journey is much easier and enjoyable when you know the route.

 If intention setting is new for you, start by reflecting on what you want to be different. Then intend for a 20 minute daily mindful action to begin the desired change. For instance, “I will practice a new positive mindset by writing a list of 10 things that I am grateful for, and why.”
