SOOTHING SOUNDS & INSPIRATION DECEMBER 11, 6:30-8:30PM
Let's celebrate the season together with some healthy festive cheer following the Sound Healing session.
We are always looking for healthy and uplifting social connections so bring friends and enjoy the evening together.
This, the last month of the year, we will reflect, let go of things we do not want to carry into our new year, and set intensions for our new year!
Enjoy the soft, healing tones in this cozy and beautiful space. We will stretch, breathe, and connect with Deb Taylor for an evening of awesome!
A sound bath with Deb Taylor is a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating experience that blends the soothing tones of crystal singing bowls with guided meditations. The session begins with a few minutes of gentle somatic yogic movement, inviting you to connect body and mind while tuning into your inner sensations. This mindful movement helps release physical tension and prepares your body to fully absorb the healing vibrations.
Once settled, you’ll be guided through mindfulness and guided imagery meditations, grounding yourself and exploring the depths of your consciousness. The calming hum of the crystal singing bowls fills the space as Deb plays rain sticks, gently washing away any remaining stress.
To elevate your energy, Koshi chimes are introduced, their higher frequencies creating a sense of lightness and uplifting your spirit. All of this unfolds in the beautiful and serene setting in Oakville, providing a perfect atmosphere for relaxation. By the end of this hour-long journey, your mind will be clear and calm, creating the ideal space for setting intentions for the weeks and months ahead. This experience brings balance, clarity, and deep inner peace.
Feel the tranquil vibrations of the rain stick, harmony bells, drumming, chimes, singing bowls, and more.
As we let go of the tensions we no longer need to carry and ground in self-acceptance, our calm creativity will flow.
It's a good time to designate extra awareness to these self-supporting practices.
We will work on creating a deep sense of belonging in the world as we maintain awareness on our emotional growth and maturity.
We will uplift our state of being.
This is a great time to reset and focus on your next steps in each and every month, so seize this opportunity to do something truly good for you.

About The MYndful Movement Program
MY Story
I am passionate about providing high-quality, effective social emotional learning to all individuals. My story began with a desire to make mental health education accessible to everyone, regardless of their background or location. We believe that education is a powerful tool that can transform lives and create positive change in the world.
MY Mission
My mission is to empower individuals with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed in life while staying true to their health and wellbeing. We strive to create a supportive learning community that fosters growth, creativity, and innovation. At The MYndful Movement Program, Deb Taylor and her experienced network of team members, are committed to helping all people achieve their goals and reach their full potential with priority on their wellbeing.
Whether you're 6, 26, 56 or 96 your mental health routine is critical for a happy life.
MY Approach
My team of amazing people, and I believe that learning should be engaging, interactive, and fun. That's why we have developed a unique approach to education that combines traditional teaching methods with cutting-edge technology. Our courses are designed to be interactive, hands-on, and tailored to the needs of each individual. We'll get creative with our mental health: sound baths, drumming circles, yoga, mindful moments, creative writing reflections, gentle Qigong mindful movement sequences, and many more sensory focused techniques to allow for a clear and calm mind and body.
Meditation Sessions Online
Our MYndful meditation sessions keep it interesting
Make it your routine to join in with your group weekly for a meditation practice. You put together your group, and
Deb guides your meditations in a style that feels comfortable.
We drop in to present moment awareness and short centering moments to regulate our nervous system. We practice grounding ourselves when busy, and feeling a peaceful confidence to uplift and empower our day.
If you know Deb, you know we'll have a few laughs along the way...which is also good medicine.
Sessions are 45-minutes in length, always with a variety of meditation techniques practiced.
Together we'll design a convenient time that's just right for you and your group.
