one breath at a time retreat

Loving yourself one breath at a time!

A healing and transformative day retreat with Mehrnaz Massoudi.

An author, speaker, and emotional healing coach, Mehrnaz integrates her background in molecular science and knowledge of the universe with her experience of meditation and her training as an Emotional Freedom Technique practitioner, helping people to find new levels of self-love, courage, and inner tranquility. 

Mehrnaz’s work as an emotional healing coach is the base for her self-help short stories in her most recent book She’s Still Here:

“In this collection of nine short stories, Mehrnaz Massoudi tenderly explores the many layers of grief and rage mothers, daughters, and women around the world face throughout their lifetimes, and the healing that can be found in the most sacred of places—within ourselves.

She’s Still Here is an evocative, touching portrayal of the human experience, and its resilience in the face of profound suffering, betrayal, regret, and loss. But it is also a beautifully rendered expression of love in all of its forms, but especially the love we should give ourselves.”

Schedule

Morning:

Mehrnaz shares the belief and wisdom of ‘loving oneself’. Participants will be guided through breath work and contemplation to feel centred, and identify what they need to release to let love in.

Lunch:

Those who join us at the Hooded Merganser restaurant will practice being in the present moment as they eat and chat. This supports learning how to disconnect from the stress of work and home life while enjoying their meals and the company of others by being in the now.

Afternoon:

Q&A with Mehrnaz followed by group heart-to-heart chat and soul-to-soul connection, a practice of sharing authentically and hearing others empathetically.

Bring a notebook and pen to take notes.

Coffee, tea, and water provided.

Lunch —12:30 to 2PM — is not provided. Bring your own and stay in the conference room or join others at the Hooded Merganser, which has a booking under Mehrnaz’ name: you can call and add your name to the list at 250-487-4663.

Get your own signed copy of She’s Still Here, $20/book, cash only.

‘She’s Still Here’ Book Event

I was thrilled to host the launch of my latest book She’s Still Here at Penticton Art Gallery.

… the event was far from a typical book launch. It was an emotional roller coaster. One of those really big ones.

Love & Authenticity

Author of “Never Without Love” presents

Love & Authenticity

A gathering for women

at the Burrowing Owl Winery

We can’t love authentically without being authentic—love and authenticity coexists!

Inauthenticity does not mean telling outright lies but rather is about not saying or acting on the truths we’ve been conditioned to withhold. Inauthenticity arises from our attachment to being loved and respected.

Often, my clients are not aware that they don’t hear their own truths—to hear and feel what is essential to feel joy, to feel content and to be motivated. Like them, I spent most of my adult life abandoning my authentic-self, abandoning my dreams.

 “Authenticity can heal trauma!”

by Gabor Maté, MD

 

At the Love & Authenticity gathering you will be guided through breath work and contemplation to grasp how freeing it feels when you connect to your authentic self!

For more than a decade Mehrnaz Massoudi has helped people remove emotional blocks and limiting beliefs to create clarity, to experience contentment and joy and feel motivated to move towards their goals and dreams.

She is the author of Never Without Love. Her forthcoming book, The Namaste Way, will be published in the Fall of 2023.

Mehrnaz studied meditation with Deepak Chopra, Jack Kornfield, and Tara Brach.

This is a small interactive gathering holding space for every attendee to participate in our share and chat.

Empowerment

A one-day Retreat for Women

Women step into new territory as the patriarchy crumbles…

Trying to find their voice

Being an advocate for themselves

Navigating a challenging path at work, home, and in society

And have to handle it all without the guidance of iconic female role models!

Join Mehrnaz, Mia and Sanaz March 5 for the Empowerment Retreat Day for Women at Burrowing Owl winery.

 

 

Come align with your essence in the vast space of emotional clarity and empower yourself to follow the guidance of your own wisdom … to reach your goals and dreams.”

Mehrnaz Massoudi, Author & Emotional Healing Coach

 

Through the day Mehrnaz, Mia and Sanaz will guide you to experience alignment, clarity and empowerment.

 

“Listening to our own voices is the doorway to Empowerment.

Empowerment comes from abundance. But women often give from an empty tank.”

Mia Harris, Transformative Voice Coach

 

When we start to unlock ourselves, body movement is linear. But in the process of embracing empowerment, it becomes fluid. That fluidity is powerful!

Tap into the Vast Space of Creativity

Managing Stress with Mehrnaz gives writers tools to enhance creativity and improve productivity.

Not every author can spend a year’s sabbatical by the Mediterranean while writing their manuscript! Day-to-day stress – not to mention deadlines – can affect creative performance by triggering limiting beliefs and patterns.  But creating a space of emotional freedom can manage or mitigate those beliefs and patterns so we can tap into our creative essence.

 

Based on more than a decade’s research and application through one-on-one coaching with clients and in workshops, this 50-minute session will focus on stress-management techniques that include Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT – or “tapping”), breath work and visualization. By the end of the workshop participants will have learned pragmatic and effective tools to help them access creativity and improve productivity.

Date: September 24, 2022

Tickets are available at  Wine Country Writers’ Festival

Love Now

Love is not a choice.

Love is Urgent.

Find a path that leads to Love NOW.

When you need to get direction from A to B; you type the exact address of A and B in a Google Map. In life, A is your Life-Today and B is your Dreams.

If the direction from your Life-Today is not pointing you towards your Dreams then you may feel discontent, uninspired, and lost.

And the only reason you’re not on the right path heading towards your Dreams is that your Life-Today is not aligned with your essence.

Ego mind separates us from our essence!

Love is opposite of Ego!!

★ I have learnt that we do NOT need to sit on meditation cushion every day for 30 minutes or more to tame our ego mind.

★ I have learnt that we do NOT need to read every self-help books about what is our Ego mind. 

But what I have learnt is that I constantly must adjust the address of my A, Life-Today, to NOW! Because when I don’t, I find myself anywhere but in the NOW.

Join me at Love NOW workshop to learn practical tools and techniques to allow Universal Energy to guide your essence to your Dreams.

Let Silence be your Heart GPS in 2019

Are you ready to manifest your dreams in 2019?

This is not a New Year’s Resolutions workshop!!

Why New Year’s Resolutions don’t work?

But first I ask a couple of questions before I answer:

1- What is your operating system?

2- What are your limiting beliefs?

Your operating system is your Subconscious Mind.

95% of what you do and what you attract is being controlled by your subconscious mind.

If this 95% of your operating system is programmed with the negative events of your life and your limiting beliefs then, do you think your New Year’s Resolutions would work?

Just because you write your New Year’s resolutions on your vision board, or you put it on your fridge so you can see it every day; it doesn’t mean that it would work.

First you need to reprogram your operating system-Your Subconscious Mind, then you will be able to manifest your heart-felt-desires and dreams. It is only in Silence that you can reprogram your subconscious mind!!

Join Mehrnaz at Let Silence be your Heart GPS in 2019 workshop to Let Go of your negative thoughts and limiting beliefs to manifest your Heart-Felt-Desires…Your Dream.
