SUMMARY:Psychedelics\, Altered States & Personal Transformation
DESCRIPTION:An Educational Evening + Experiential Introduction \nWednesday\, January 21 \nPotluck from 6:30 pm | Circle from 7:30–9:30 pm \nWonderful Wednesday Potluck \n⸻ \nPsychedelics have captured renewed attention as tools for healing and personal transformation; but the substances themselves are only a small part of the story. \nWhat truly shapes these experiences is the container: preparation\, intention\, altered states\, nervous-system safety\, and the way insight is integrated into daily life. \n⸻ \nInterest in psychedelics for therapeutic and personal growth has grown rapidly in recent years. Alongside promising research\, this resurgence has also raised important questions about ethics\, safety\, responsibility\, and discernment. \nThis evening is an educational presentation and facilitated discussion exploring psychedelics within the broader landscape of altered states of consciousness and healing; including both substance-assisted approaches and non-drug pathways that humans have used across cultures and history. \nRather than centering on substances alone\, we will explore what actually supports meaningful and lasting change\, and why altered states are most powerful when held within thoughtful\, ethical\, and supportive containers. \n⸻ \nEvening Flow \n6:30 pm | Community Potluck: please bring a healthy food contribution  \nA shared meal and informal connection to ground the evening. \n7:30–9:30 pm | Circle \nThe circle will unfold organically\, guided by inquiry rather than a rigid agenda. \nOur intention is to explore: \n   •   Psychedelics in historical\, cultural\, and therapeutic contexts \n   •   Current research and therapeutic models \n   •   The distinction between recreational\, ceremonial\, and therapeutic use \n   •   Why set\, setting\, preparation\, and integration matter more than the substance \n   •   Ethical considerations\, risks\, and contraindications \nThe evening will also include a short experiential taste of non-drug altered states\, which may involve gentle breath awareness\, sound\, somatic attention\, and guided inner inquiry. This is offered as a felt introduction rather than a full session. \n⸻ \nTopics We’ll Explore \n   •   Psychedelics and healing: ancient roots and modern perspectives \n   •   Altered states beyond substances\, including: \n• Breathwork \n• Fasting and perceptual reset \n• Sound and vibration \n• Movement and embodied awareness \n   •   Why altered states require containment\, pacing\, and integration \n   •   The role of community and witnessing \n   •   When these approaches may not be appropriate \n⸻ \nWho This Evening Is For \n   •   Those curious about psychedelics who want grounded\, responsible information \n   •   People interested in altered states without substance use \n   •   Therapists\, facilitators\, and helpers exploring expanded-state work \n   •   Anyone considering deeper inner inquiry and wanting to proceed wisely \nNo prior experience is required. \n⸻ \nImportant Clarifications \n   •   This is not a ceremony \n   •   No substances are provided\, supplied\, or facilitated \n   •   No sourcing\, dosage\, or instructional guidance will be given \n   •   This evening is educational\, with a gentle experiential introduction using non-drug methods only \n⸻ \nAbout the Facilitators \nMariel Camilleri brings decades of experience in somatic practice\, breathwork\, and group facilitation\, with an emphasis on nervous-system safety\, ethical containers\, and long-term integration. \nMichael Ionesco is a Yoga\, Breathwork and Sound Healing practitioner and facilitator whose work weaves\, movement\, breath\, vibration\, presence\, and attuned listening into spaces of inquiry and transformation. \nTogether\, they emphasize depth over spectacle and integration over peak experience. \n⸻ \nClosing Note \nFor those who feel called to explore these principles more deeply in an immersive\, facilitated environment\, information about a separate full-day retreat focused on preparation\, inner inquiry\, and integration will be shared at the close of the evening. \nAttendance at this event does not assume or require participation in any future offering.

SUMMARY:🌹 THE ALCHEMY OF DESIRE & DEVOTION™ CLASS IMMERSION
DESCRIPTION:Activate your inner compass. Join us and discover why Desire and Devotion guide you to profound inner peace. We integrate the embodied wisdom of Tantra\, Kink\, and Theatre Therapy. This process helps you access creative somatic self-expression and radical self-empowerment. This is the dynamic alternative to traditional talk therapy. \n🎙 Led by Lady Viktoria — Holistic Intimacy Coach | 20+ years guiding people back to peace\, power\, and embodied love. 🔗 www.playfulloving.com \n📅 Saturday\, January 17th\n🕙 10:00 AM – 2.00 PM (4hrs – bring snacks)\nLocation: Etobicoke South Studio\, 43 Towns Rd\, Suite 202\, Etobicoke \nIMPORTANT NOTE: This studio space has a therapy dog (a white husky). \nEarly Bird:$125 per person\nDay of Class: $150 per person \nSave Your Spot!\nSpace is Limited to 12 people \nWhat to Bring?\n\nYoga Mat or Pillow to sit on\nNotebook and pen\nClosed water bottle and snacks\nOpen mind and heart\n\nIn a world that constantly demands striving for more\, fixing our flaws\, or masking our sensitivity\, it is easy to believe the lie: You are broken. You are missing something. \nWhat if I tell you the truth is radically different? \nYou are not broken. You are the map. \nThe challenge is not a lack of direction; it is a lack of connection to the compass that already exists within you. This is the heart of The Alchemy of Desire & Devotion—a path where Desire is the compass\, and Devotion is the path to true\, sustainable peace and power. \n🌙 Listen to The Body as Oracle\nYour body always knows before your mind catches up. \nThat soft ache for something more… That quiet longing to feel alive again… That pull toward intimacy that goes deeper than performance. These are not signs of weakness; they are the voice of your deepest intelligence. \nThis is where the magic of Somatic Immersion begins. This work offers a trauma-informed sanctuary to unravel protections and reconnect with what is real underneath. Through somatic inquiry\, breath\, ritual\, and sacred witnessing\, you return to the truth of your desire—and the devotion that moves you forward. \n💥 More Than a Class: It’s an Initiation\nThe four-hour learning immersion\, the Alchemy of Desire & Devotion\, is your visceral return to your inner flame\, your inner knowing. This experience activates your deepest capacity for embodied presence—with yourself\, your desire\, and your relational truth. \nThis is not theory. It is lived. It is felt. It is real. \nThe Foundations of Inner Union:\nWe combine rituals with modern psychology and trauma-informed care to shift you out of mindset therapy and into nervous system repair. You discover: \n\nSomatic Awakening: Your body becomes the guide\, not the judge. Reconnection to breath and sensation restores your inner aliveness.\nDesire Mapping: Explore the parts of you that long\, ache\, crave\, and yearn. Desire becomes sacred guidance—not a problem to fix or a flame to dim.\nInner Union: A ceremony of polarity and integration where strength meets softness\, and direction meets surrender. This inner union activates grounded\, powerful wholeness.\nDevotion as Embodied Expression: Learn to express devotion as clarity\, commitment\, sacred presence\, and unshakable trust.\n\n💎 What Makes This Work Different?\nThis is a multidimensional\, somatic\, ritual experience drawing from: \n\nTrauma-Informed Knowledge: Creating a consensual\, respectful\, and regulated approach to cultivate intimacy rooted in safety\, not survival.\nAncient & Modern Wisdom: Blending Tantra and Kink principles with Theatre Therapy for emotional liberation and Gnostic ritual for embodied awareness.\n\nYour body becomes: \n🎻 The instrument of awareness \n🎭 The stage of emotional truth \n🔮 The oracle of sacred intelligence \n✅ Is This Space For You?\nThis immersion is the entry point into a profound journey. This space is for you if you are ready to: \n\nReclaim your relationship with your body.\nActivate intuitive clarity and inner truth.\nCultivate intimacy rooted in safety\, not survival.\nEmbody your desires without guilt or shame.\nStep into sacred union of masculine and feminine within.\nBegin your initiation into the Mystery School journey.\n\nAll parts of you are welcome. Your grief\, your pleasure\, your numbness—all of it. This is a trauma-informed\, shame-resilient\, nervous-system-safe space. \nYou leave with real tools. \nEmbodiment\, not just insight. \nClarity\, not confusion. \nPeace\, not bypass. \n📅 Begin Your Initiation (Your First Gate)\nThe Alchemy of Desire & Devotion is a taste of the profound transformation awaiting you when you decide to join the 6-week foundational White Lotus Mystery School path—a branch of Playful Loving. \nIf your chest warms…\nIf your breath deepens…\nIf your body says yes…\nTrust that knowing. Your aliveness is calling. \nThe circle is forming. The alchemy begins now. \n✨ Secure your place now and begin your initiation. \nAbout Your Guide \nViktoria is a Holistic Intimacy Coach with 20+ years of experience in trauma-informed conscious intimacy\, emotional regulation\, compassionate communication\, and body-based somatic dearmouring. \nViktoria works with individuals\, couples\, and creatives in the film/TV industry to deepen connection\, reignite passion\, and cultivate grounded\, embodied love. \nBlending ancient wisdom with modern somatic practices\, Viktoria helps you break cycles\, dissolve emotional armour\, and reconnect with your body’s natural intelligence.\nHer work is a journey back to trust\, safety\, and authentic intimacy — starting from within. \nThrough her compassionate\, trauma-aware approach\, Viktoria empowers you to build confidence\, release what no longer serves\, and create deeper\, more meaningful relationships with self\, life\, and loved ones. \n“Always within your boundaries of safety\, consent\, and comfort with respect\, honour\, and trust with yourself first.

SUMMARY:New Year’s Eve Gathering: A Conscious Threshold into the Year Ahead
DESCRIPTION: Potluck begins at 6:30 pm. Please bring a healthy food contribution to share. \n Circle begins at 7:30 pm \nSouth Etobicoke studio. Address provided upon RSVP. \n RSVP required. Message or text to save your seat. \n All are welcome. By donation. \n\nNew Year’s Eve Gathering: A Conscious Threshold into the Year Ahead \nSomatic inquiry\, reflection\, and community: an evening designed to land deeply and cross the year together \nNYE parties are usually loud\, late\, and fuelled by distraction; a collective attempt to manufacture meaning at the very moment we’re crossing a threshold. This gathering offers something different: a conscious\, embodied New Year’s Eve designed for people who value presence over performance\, and depth over spectacle. \nRather than pushing resolutions or performing optimism\, we’ll explore a more grounded relationship with desire and intention. Through guided somatic inquiry\, reflection\, and real conversation\, you’ll be invited to slow down\, listen inwardly\, and allow what truly matters for the year ahead to land gently. This is not about forcing outcomes or deciding everything in advance\, but about clarifying the inner signal the rest of the year can naturally organize around. \nWhen desire is allowed to arrive softly — felt in the body rather than driven by the mind — it creates coherence. Like a pebble touching still water\, a small and truthful impulse can send ripples far beyond what effort alone ever could. This evening is an invitation to find that quiet centre and notice how life begins to respond from there. \nAfter 10:00 pm\, we’ll shift from stillness into movement. Dance music will guide us into a gentle movement meditation and ecstatic dance practice\, offering a way to integrate what’s emerged and let it move through the body. This portion of the evening is invitational rather than performative: you’re welcome to move freely\, rest\, or simply be held by the rhythm. \nThe evening will culminate in a shared midnight countdown\, allowing us to cross into the new year together — embodied\, awake\, and connected. \nAs always\, this is a Wonderful Wednesday potluck gathering. Please bring some healthy food to share and arrive on time so we can begin the reflective portion of the evening together. \n🐕 Small practical note: I’m happy to stay through the midnight countdown\, provided we have three volunteers willing to take my dog out for short walks during the evening. If that’s you\, thank you — and please let me know in advance. \nSpace is limited. RSVP required. \n

SUMMARY:Illuminating the Divine: The Radiance of Love
DESCRIPTION:🫶 Potluck begins at 6:30 pm. Please bring a healthy food contribution to share. \n🌀 Circle begins at 7:30 pm \n📍South Etobicoke studio. Address provided upon RSVP. \n✅ RSVP required. Message or text to save your seat. \n🌿 All are welcome. By donation. \n\nAdvent Week 4 — Wednesday\, December 18 \nWith Soul Guide & Intuitive\, Heidi Last \nThe final week of Advent invites us into the warmest of the four states: Love as embodied presence. Not romantic love and not sentimentality\, but the steady\, radiant Love that sees the divine in every person — and within ourselves\, our own sacred soul-mate. \nLed by Heidi Last\, this evening draws from Alan Watts\, Christian mysticism\, and the Baha’i teachings\, which describe Love as the animating force of the universe: the reason for creation\, the foundation of unity\, and the essential bond between all hearts. \nIn the Baha’i writings\, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá reminds us: \n“Love is the most great law that ruleth this mighty and heavenly cycle… the supreme magnetic force that directeth the movements of the spheres in the celestial realms.” \nThis vision of divine Love completes our Advent journey — expanding from Hope to Peace\, to Joy\, and now into the fullness of Love. \nThemes Heidi may explore \n• Love as a unifying force: humanity as one family\, woven from a single spiritual origin \n• Love as service: genuine love expressed through kindness\, action\, upliftment \n• Love as the foundation of unity: how true community grows through compassion \n• Seeing the divine in others: dissolving separation\, softening judgement \n• Love as spiritual radiance: the inner Light honoured across traditions \nThe Heart of the Evening \nIn this gathering\, Love is not a destination but a practice — breath by breath\, gesture by gesture. Guided by Heidi’s gentle presence\, we will explore Love that is grounded\, universal\, and deeply human. \nLove asks: \nHow can I embody warmth in my relationships\, my choices\, and my life? \nHaiku \nLove calls us inward \nA soft returning to Source \nYour heart learns to shine \n

SUMMARY:Rooted & Radiant at Serendipity: Growing Prosperity Through Ecological Community
DESCRIPTION:🫶 Potluck begins at 6:30 pm. Please bring a healthy food contribution to share. \n🌀 Circle begins at 7:30 pm \n📍South Etobicoke studio. Address provided upon RSVP. \n✅ RSVP required. Message or text to save your seat. \n🌿 All are welcome. By donation. \n\nHope is the first light of Advent\, and the spark of every new beginning. On Wednesday 19 November\, in my South Etobicoke loft\, we’ll gather to explore what becomes possible when our individual dreams meet the vision of Serendipity Nature Sanctuary: an ecological\, prosperous\, heart-centred community we are co-creating from the ground up. \nAs we step into the Advent season — the time of Hope — we each carry quiet longings and private visions of the life we want to create. Before any plans are laid or ideas shared\, this gathering offers a moment to pause\, breathe\, and listen inwardly. \nWhat is the seed of Hope within you right now? \nWhether your desire is for connection\, land\, community\, purpose\, healing\, freedom\, or creative expression: there is room here for you. \nAs we move deeper into Advent’s invitation\, we explore what Hope becomes when rooted in real soil and supported by real people. At Serendipity\, Hope takes shape as cooperation\, ecological harmony\, and the courage to build a regenerative future together. This evening invites us to consider not only what Serendipity can become\, but what each of us yearns to cultivate in our own lives. \nThis week’s gathering celebrates both the dream and the doing: how we can create true abundance by living in harmony with nature\, each other\, and the land that sustains us. We’ll explore the evolving vision of an ecological community in the country close to the city: a sanctuary where gardens\, forests\, animals\, and human beings thrive together in a living\, breathing tapestry of shared purpose. \nI will be presenting my own Hope for Serendipity: a place where ecological living and spiritual renewal meet grounded prosperity. Do you feel a resonance? Your dreams\, your longings\, and your unique sense of possibility are essential threads in this tapestry. As we share food and conversation\, may we each feel the freedom to imagine boldly and to honour the truth that community begins when individual hopes find harmony together. \nBring a dish to share\, an open heart\, and the dreams that are ready to be spoken … or simply held. \nHope is our beginning. The rest\, we create together. \n⸻ \n🌸 Haiku \nMany hands one dream \nEarth and heart weave sanctuary \nRoots entwined with grace \n⸻ \nSee past Wednesday Gatherings

Address provided upon RSVP. \n✅ RSVP required. Message or text to save your seat. 647-332-4325 cell/text  \n\nAs Saturn and Neptune align in a rare grand conjunction\, the collective field is shifting; calling humanity to reconcile idealism with structure\, compassion with control. This celestial alignment mirrors the turbulence on the world stage\, where old paradigms of power are dissolving and new ones struggle to be born. \nThis evening\, Dael Wilson brings more than fifty years of astrological insight and psychological depth to explore how these cosmic forces play out through the astrology of nations and leaders; with particular attention to Israel’s natal chart\, and the planetary patterns influencing key global figures. \nBuilding on last year’s illuminating exploration of Russia and Putin\, Dael now turns his gaze toward the Middle East and the deeper archetypal drama shaping world events. Expect a thought-provoking\, wide-open Aquarian evening of discussion\, symbolism\, and creative dialogue about how astrology can help us make sense of our collective evolution. \nThe Grand Water Trine active at this time supports emotional release and intuitive clarity; helping us process the grief\, fear\, and hope stirred by global transformation. \nJoin us for a cathartic\, visionary conversation that bridges the cosmic and the political; the heavens and the human heart.

SUMMARY:Walking with Ghosts: Releasing the Past\, Living the Present
DESCRIPTION:🫶 Potluck begins at 6:30 pm. Please bring a healthy food contribution to share. \n🌀 Circle begins at 7:30 pm \n📍South Etobicoke studio. Address provided upon RSVP. \n✅ RSVP required. Message or text to save your seat. 647-332-4325 cell/text  \n\nEach of us carries our past with us\, everywhere we go\, in everything we do. Most events pass through and we move on. Maybe they are not forgotten\, but they do not hold a charge. Some events\, however\, do. They are our ghosts\, following us into the present: shaping our feelings\, thoughts\, opinions\, and life decisions. \nWe spend much of our lives repelling these ghosts or clinging to them\, instead of letting them pass through. The path to serenity begins with recognizing the ghosts that haunt our present\, becoming aware of their impact\, and learning to release them. \nSo I ask you: What ghosts are you bringing into the present with you? \nJody Terio is an artist who has been drawn to all things spiritual since childhood; first through Catholicism\, then Yoga and Hinduism\, later Buddhism\, and the chasing of nature spirits. \n“If you are resisting something\, you are feeding it. Any energy you fight\, you are feeding. If you are pushing something away\, you are inviting it to stay.” \nMichael Singer
