One-Day Shamanic Escapade: Releasing Old Contracts & Embracing Your Future Self

Deborah Must
  • Sunday January 19 2025.
  • Saint-Lazare, Quebec
Step into a transformative day of healing and discovery in this immersive shamanic workshop. Together, we’ll explore the sacred process of releasing outdated energetic contracts, patterns, and beliefs that no longer serve you, creating space for the freedom to align with your true path.

Through guided shamanic journeying, participants will connect with helping spirits and their luminous bodies to identify and clear what is ready to be released. In the afternoon, you’ll embark on a powerful journey to meet a version of your future self—a wise and empowered guide who holds the vision of your highest potential.


This workshop includes:

  • A ceremonial opening to call in the directions, ancestors, and helping spirits.
  • Techniques to uncover and dissolve old energetic agreements.
  • A guided meditation to connect with the wisdom of your future self and receive messages to guide your path forward.
  • Reflective practices to anchor insights and create a personal action plan.

A Full Day’s Escapade of Writing Workshops!

Julie Gedeon
  • Sunday October 27th 2024. 10am to 8pm
  • Laurentians
If there’s one thing most writers and would-be writers do it’s to think and/or talk about writing a lot more than actually doing it! Here’s a chance to enjoy an entire day away from your usual distractions to focus solely on advancing your specific writing project. The day will alternate between learning key writing/revising strategies, then immediately applying them.

The workshops are open to everyone at any stage of writing:

Debutants who have had one or more stories in their heads for years but never seem to get around to committing words to paper or a computer file.

Dabblers who have journaled or drafted all or part of an idea or some memories and need to pull that writing out from a file or drawer to shape it into a cohesive story.

Devotees who have revised an entire story/book numerous times but are seeking ways to further condense and refine it.

The writing strategies and exercises will apply to all but with adjustments for each project’s level of progress. Topics will include where to ideally start a story, how to create realistic dialogue, writing more succinctly/powerfully, when to be specific and when to be vague, shifting the narrative pacing, and how to avoid rushing or prolonging an ending.

Julie Gedeon, who has assisted several writers in completing their projects, will lead the workshops. And Zeina Abdul Karim will entice all with the aromas of the delicious food she will prepare for the well-deserved lunch and dinner breaks.

Male and female writers are welcomed. Instruction will be in English but can apply to French texts as well. A charged laptop is recommended for use on the day.

Zeina’s All Day Food Escapade

Zeina Abdul Karim with special guest Celine Menassa
  • Sunday August 11th, 2024
  • Laurentians
What better way to take some fun time to reconnect with all your senses than an All-Day Food Escapade!! Join us for a relaxed day out of the city to replenish and rejuvenate our energy and spirits as we rediscover all our wonderful senses through food, laughter, music and play!

We have all kinds of games planned to use all of your senses in enjoying food and even to be a bit of a competitive cook. (No worries, though! All levels of culinary experience are welcomed.) I will show a variety of my favourite cooking and prepping techniques and demonstrate how and why simplicity goes hand in hand with creating some of the very best food.
Let’s take some time to slow down and just enjoy country life together!

My co-host, Celine Menassa, will also be leading you through various playful explorations that will help you to make yourself the priority as you breathe a little deeper, relax a little easier and just enjoy this entire day.

There will also be time to chill on the deck, take a dip in the pool, soak in the hot tub and, yes, dance to some wonderful music.

What about food? Together we’ll indulge in two delicious homemade meals that I will freshly prepare for you (and maybe with a tiny bit of fun help from you) as we sit down together to reconnect with existing friends and to make new ones.

All you need to bring from home for the day is a water bottle, notebook and pen, sunhat, sunglasses and sunscreen, a bathing suit, towel and flip flops. We’ll take care of the rest.

I promise you Zeina’s Kitchen will make this a wonderfully memorable All-Day Food Escapade!

Zeina is an amazing host who makes such delicious and lovingly prepared food. Katrina is an incredible teacher and facilitator, with many invaluable insights and practices to share. Thank you! 🙏
Chelsey
This event was something I was definitely looking for! I received so much information and felt so comfortable being someone that truly knew nothing about Writing a book! It was a day filled with exceptional information, food, and company. I appreciate it every moment and I thank everyone that shared this day with me🙏
Marie Hudon
Food for the heart, body, mind and soul were in abundance. Treat yourself to a Zeina's Kitchen retreat. You won't regret it. Zeina and Celine make you feel right at home which is not an easy task when dealing with so many different personalities. Thanks gals. You rock! 🙂
J.M.
This is the most refreshing retreat I have experienced to date and I have been to more than my fair share in the last 25 years. What was most enjoyable was the laughter and connection between all. I met some wonderful women who I hope to remain in contact with and hopefully share another adventure in the future. The hosts, Zeina, Joanna and Celine are the real deal in authenticity. The 3 of them create a perfect balance, each brought great value to the weekend.
Gail Lea

Shelley Hall
Wonderful day spent at Zeina's Kitchen with Julie Gideon. I got an opportunity to meet very interesting people, each with their own story that they want to put out into the world. Julie was a very passionate guide and so generously and seamlessly shared her knowledge to us all. Zeina was a warm and welcoming host and her food is made with love that can be felt and tasted in its deliciousness. Highly recommend a day at Zeina's kitchen.
Marie McGuinness
A wonderful experience full of love.
