Another new member of the SOV directory – CFS for the Soul, a lovely store in Duncan!
What a nice surprise! CFS for the Soul is easy to get to, just off the main road entering Duncan, and what a find! They have the crystals & oracle cards you’ve been looking for, as well as clothes & so much more.
Drop in & say hey to the friendly folks who work there, and check it out! You’ll be glad you did!
Here’s the bit from CHEK news on Saturday evening about the Psychic & Spiritual Arts Fair that we attended in Sidney (and worked at) that day….the little story is at 4:00 minutes (you’re in the clip, Gwen & Devi & Allison & Crystal & Gaianna (right, in the picture) & Cassandra & Carol & more!)
Super job by Devi & Dietmar organizing the show & super job by the vendors connecting with so many people….fun day & awesome to see so many people interested in things of spirit!
Here’s the CHEK link:

We enter our fourth year this week! Thank you for coming along for the ride!
Since our last email a while back, a few things have changed on the site. If you can take a moment to look at the site you’ll see these three things, to start:
• On the front page of www.spiritofvictoria.ca, it’s new – so look for it: In the main menu you’ll see “Special Offers & Coupons.” Pretty clear what you’ll find there – I’m pretty sure you’ll like it!
• Next to it – on the main menu – is where we’re moving the events listings. I previously have them on a separate site & in the month of experiments I did with this, I found way more people take a peek at this than any other one part of the site.
If you’d like to go directly there, go to www.spiritofvictoria.ca/events – let me know what you think! Watch this area grow!
• Finally, we re-purposed & re-designed the responsive design of the site to work better on mobile devices, your phone, and things besides desktop computers. Check it out & use it on your phone & see if you agree.

Do you have a listing on the Spirit of Victoria?
Now’s the time!
Log into your dashboard & add your events & special offers! While you’re at it, add reviews to your profile as well – you’ve had success, so this is a good way to share it!
Been a while since you logged in & can’t find your password or login info?
Call Brother Ian at 778-265-3014 or email at sovnews9@gmail.com & I’ll get you set up!
IT’S TIME for our GRAND RE-OPENING! Mark it down on your calendars. We’re going to be offering discounted treatments, a week of FREE classes, sacred gatherings, events, LIVE music + more!
We’re so excited to finally be sharing our intentions for our community! We aim to become Victoria’s home of Holistic Healing & Sacred Gathering. A space of ceremony, intentional events & drop-in classes!
At the core, we’re a boutique wellness + yoga studio offering you movement medicine, plant medicine, energy medicine, and SOUL medicine all for the cultivation of our divine medicine community!
What makes us different? We’re a space built on integrity, spirit + trust, with a ceremonial and holistic understanding of life. We want you to feel at home here. A sanctuary for your healing. A space to simply be held & nurtured when life throws you challenge. In all of our yoga classes, you’ll be 1 of 7, max! Meaning you’ll get the semi-private instruction you deserve to cultivate the greatest benefit for your mind, body & soul.
For beginner to advanced students, we’re here to help you ease into, cultivate, and excel in yoga, meditation, spirituality, and well-being. Our practitioners and our teachers are living, breathing, walking examples of their services, offering you authentic, real-life, connection and wisdom in all that they do.
Karli
We’re setting ourselves up to have 6+ practitioners, upwards of 20 classes per week, weekly sacred gatherings, weekend events + more! We won’t say we’re there yet but we’re certainly on our way and want YOU to be apart of it!
Join us for the last week of September to meet our practitioners, experience our classes, and take part in some pretty incredible weekend events! Registration will be mandatory for all classes and events via our booking site.
Thank you, from the depths of our hearts for supporting our process, our unfolding, our being. We LOVE you!
With love,
Karli + the rest of the Medicine Nest team!

Julia Day
A Course In Miracles …
is a transpersonal, psychological, radical teaching in pure non-dual Oneness that uses quantum ‘forgiveness’ to undo our dualistic split mind.
The Course guides us through a mystical journey of awakening
to the awareness of pure Love’s Presence.
The alchemy of awakening occurs through joining our thoughts and perceptions with our inner Teacher, Self, Source ~ and learning to trust our Wholeness and Oneness; the pure Goodness that remains unchanged throughout all our stories, through all worlds.
For information & to register, check my website at:https://www.juliaday.ca/juliaday-acim-pure-non-duality
I love helping people understand the simple METAPHYSICS of the Course, because it makes the entire holographic teaching much easier to digest.

This workshop at Hemma will explore a tantrik approach to hatha yoga, integrating vinyasa and mantra as whole body prayer to the natural elements within and without. In addition to the classical surya namaskar, we’ll explore mandalas (circular vinyasa sequences) invoking the elements of earth, water, fire, air and moon (chandra namaskar). In addition, you’ll learn mantras to open and close your practice with intention and honouring of the ancestors.
Brian James has spent the past 20 years exploring the connection between yoga, music and shamanism, and over the past 7 years has devoted his life to making the ancient techniques of tantrik hatha yoga relevant and accessible to modern folks of all ages and physical ability. (Read more)

Let’s see what’s going on in Victoria’s metaphysical community:
Sam
• It was great to have Sam Shields come to the well-attended Victoria Metaphysical & Intuitive Development Meetup last Friday at the Fernwood Community Centre. I had wondered about Theta Healing & it was great to have Sam explain it & even better, demonstrate it with us.
Check out her website for details about it, and she’s planning a workshop for Victoria later this year – I’ll keep you posted.
+++++++++
• Looks like Hidden Gem Metaphysical Shop in Langford is carrying clothes now (right) – check them out!
+++++++++
• Have you been trying to figure out what your dreams mean? Join Atousa at 7 Rays on March 28 as she welcomes Martin Comtois for his workshop entitled The Symbolic Language of Dreams.
Here’s the scoop!
++++++
• Let’s say you’ve been looking around Victoria for a reiki practitioner, so naturally you check out the Spirit of Victoria Directory.
Dinah
The last person I had a treatment from was Dinah Johnston…and it was great.
A session with Dinah is awesome! She’s amazing – more than relaxing, a session with her made me feel like I was descending into the warm part of my heart & spirit, with a lot of energy the rest of the day.
If you have a session with her, you’ll be glad you did! Check out her profile on the SOV Directory here!

Karli
• If you haven’t been by the Medicine NEST lately, I hope you get a chance to!
Located in Chinatown in downtown Victoria, Karli offers Tea Ceremony (with meditation), Private Yoga & Registered Yoga Classes, Private Yoga & Registered Yoga Classes as well as offering Sacred Gatherings & Retreats.
I love what she says on her website & her practice: “To be spiritual is to be amazed.”
Coming up this month: A CommuniTEA monthly gathering (Mar 25) and a seasonal yoga & meditation series called Natural Rhythms: The Spring Series (starts Mar 19), and more!

Hoping your week is off to a good start, and that you’re smiling at the moments ahead. Let’s see what’s going on around Victoria:
• Still getting used to the idea that Full Circle is wrapping up 17 years in town, come April.
They had a successful Diva Day this past weekend, and have pretty much everything in the store for sale…drop by!
• Last weekend’s two-day Westshore Wellness Mind, Body & Spirit Fair created a warm & welcoming atmosphere for over 400 visitors in Langford.
Erica & Dawn tried something different: Each day featured a different set of vendors & practitioners, so each day was like a completely different fair. They said they loved how it went, and expect to try it again, come September.
Welcome aboard, Jeanette!
• The newest member to join the Spirit of Victoria’s Directory is Jeanette Maher, offering Healing Touch sessions, as well as spiritual help and card readings.
Check her profile out here.
• You’ve wondered about it, now you have a chance to check it out!
Dr. Ariel Jones is offering a Water Fasting Retreat in April – here’s the scoop, from the SOV News.
• Last night (Sunday the 4th), Debra & Diana (here’s their Facebook page) offered a mediumship presentation to some 120 folks at the Legion Hall in Langford.
Diana & Debra
What does this look like? The duo sees/feels/hears spiritual energy and asks questions to ascertain with whom the spirit is looking to make contact. For a couple of hours, D&D kept people on the edge of their seats with disclosure after disclosure that was confirmed by the folks whose loved ones had come to visit.
Jason & Nicole
The evening reminded me of the two well-attended shows mediums Nicole Powell and Jason Goldsworthy put on at the Church of Truth in Victoria and in Cobble Hill in the past ten days. They identified passed love ones and people in both audiences & amazed the crowd with what they discovered.
We’re pretty lucky to have this sort of thing available to us in this area…I know I feel lucky to have seen all three shows!
Hope you catch the next one!
• Check back here…more in the next couple of days, my friend. what’s going on this week? Check out the SOV News & Events here!
