March 22, 2022 – July 06, 2022 (up to 3 sessions can be attended virtually)

Have you been wanting to make changes in your life but you’re not really sure where to start?
Do you find yourself in a transitional period (finishing school, changing jobs, newly single, etc.) in which you may need some extra guidance or support?
Do you feel a disconnection between what you want and what your life is like right now?
Does it feel like you’re ticking things off a list but you’re unsure of what direction you’re moving towards?
Are you done with feeling constantly stressed and anxious?
Do you need help unpacking your trauma?

Reconnect to your true self; maximize your energy; and orient yourself towards a healthy inner and outer life through our 14, one session per week group workshop.

About the workshop

Grow still is offering weekly workshops for 18-32-year-old adults looking to step into the best version of themselves with a process that really works. If you are committed to making real and lasting changes in this way, we’d like to invite you to our in- depth three month workshop where we will delve into Grow’s recipe for healthy self-development: Identity, Wellness, Exploration, and Goals.

The facilitators have curated a special series of workshops that will keep you engaged every week and bring significant benefits to your life. First we will take the time to get to know each other, as the group will consist of 10 participants.

Identity will be explored during weeks 2 to 6 through themes such as personality, intelligence, diversity, and personal experiences. After these weeks, you will learn how to check into and care for yourself through a holistic lens, taking the time to understand each dimension of wellness: spiritual, emotional, physical, intellectual, social, occupational, and environmental.

In weeks 10 and 11, the Exploration phase, you will begin to connect to external resources and strategies to apply the awareness you have identified into your everyday life. In the final weeks of the series, the facilitators will help you consolidate all the concepts you have learned into a practical plan with long-term and short-term goals that reflect who you are and guide you towards continuing to evolve into your highest self.

Participation in the group includes

A digital workbook outlining the sessions with weekly Self-Care Challenges and Journaling Prompts
Individual peer support with your assigned facilitator outside of sessions
A free Yoga class with Ashtanga Yoga Montreal for our Physical Wellness workshop (week 8)
A customized Wellness Kit of strategies and resources to address your specific needs for well-being and growth
and much more!

Program Reviews

“Autrement, j’ai aimé la division des ateliers en différents thèmes, les ’ journaling prompts’, les méditations, et l’empathie et l’écoute des intervenants. J’ai aussi trouvé que le print du double helix radio permet de bien imager les concepts que Grow Still essaie de transmettre et permet aux participants de bien se situer dans leur cheminement.”

“Merci pour tout ce que vous offrez comme contenu, variété, documents, etc. J’adore la diversité des exercices et l’approche holistique du bien-être.”
~ Becoming Your Best Self participant, 2020

“J’ai adoré les ‘workshops’ et la diversité des activités, des sujets qui ont été touchés et la balance entre les activités seul et en groupe. Le ’wellness kit’ est super, et je vous remercie pour tout le temps que vous avez mis dans celui-ci!
Dans le dernier volet des ateliers, l’activité sur la résilience m’a tellement aidée! J’ai réalisé que j’avais plusieurs outils innés afin d’aller de l’avant avec ma vie, et de reconnaître que ma boîte à outils est plus garnie que je croyais a augmenté mon estime de moi plus rapidement que tout le travail que j’ai tenté de faire dans les dernières années. Les ‘journaling prompts’ ont été bénéfiques afin d’apprendre à me connaître, mes goûts, mes insécurités, mes patterns…
[…] Merci du fond du cœur pour ces derniers mois. Vous êtes une merveilleuse équipe, pleine de force, de lumière, de douceur et de confiance.”

Care2Share

Discussion Circles

Location:

Zoom & Park Lafontaine, Montreal

Dates:

May 5th onwards. See below for full schedule.

Do you want to learn how to discuss difficult topics such as inequality, illness, and conflict?
Do you want to connect with yourself and your community?

Grow Still created the Care2Share Discussion Circles as a way to encourage the community to discuss difficult issues that impact society. Our purpose is two-fold: First, we want to work together to alleviate the pain and isolation that often accompany topics such as inequality, illness, and conflict. Second, we want to facilitate self-education, equip participants to engage in discussion with peers and family members, and to inspire action for change.

All topics will fall under one of 3 themes:

Inequality: Topics include racism, ageism, sexism, ableism, and homophobia.

Illness: Topics include substance abuse, mental health, chronic illnesses, and cognitive/learning/developmental disabilities.

Conflict: Topics include hypersexualization, toxic relationships, family conflict, and death & grief.
