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.”

“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.”

Program Reviews
“I started painting on a day that I carried a lot of sadness and anger. My battle with mental health has been a bumpy ride lately. […] This painting allowed me to express my emotions and find an outlet for my pain and anger. I am grateful for being able to express my emotions, in a free, non judgemental space.”

One-on-One Life Guide
Individual Meetings
This program is for people who need a more personalized service with one of our Life Guides. To participate, you must first make an appointment with us so that we can see together where you are and administer our intake assessment.
What is a Life Guide?
Life Guides are affordable, relatable, and caring. It’s the kind of guidance someone might be looking for as they transition into a new time in their life. Just like a Tour Guide gets to know you in order to direct you towards the best attractions, a Life Guide takes the time to connect to you as a person in order to refer you to the appropriate resources, according to your identity and current well-being needs. Our process pulls from elements like active listening, psychoanalysis, and the intentional questioning from life coaching to create a chill, safe space for anyone who needs it.
Pricing
$850
We offer flexible rates for low-income individuals.
Program Reviews
“Grow is something that I will always remember as the catalyst for my self exploration and healing process. […] The main thing that Grow had done to make a difference in my life is that it helped me to realize that I can take my own life into my own hands — I can grow from past trauma and become the person that I am proud to be. I still have a long way to go but I am so grateful to have learned about my potential in my early 20s and I thank Grow for this.”
~ Life Guide participant, 2019
“This really came at a time when I needed it the most. I was feeling kind of lost and felt as if my situation was unraveling. I needed to feel more grounded and to regain control in order to move forward with my career and life. The guiding sessions helped me do that by giving me valuable knowledge and really guiding me through the various difficulties a young adult faces in day to day life.”
