What we’re about
Looking to get in great shape while meeting great people? This group is for anyone interested in moving better, eating better, feeling better, and looking better. As a group of like-minded people we can motivate, support, and hold each other accountable. MeetUps could include hikes, group 'bootcamp' workouts (outdoors), nutrition & exercise workshops/presentations, or just getting together to discuss our fitness goals and share strategies for achieving them. I'm open to other MeetUp ideas also! If you want to get fit, lose fat, become stronger, and live healthier, this group is for you!

I'm excited to invite you to join us for these new Decision Experience Free Weekly BreathWork Sessions (on Zoom), designed to help you unlock mental clarity, improve focus, remove blocks, calm your mind, and relax your body. These sessions combine breathwork and music with reflection, contemplation, and an opportunity to connect with our supportive community.

Each week we will also be inviting greater awareness on key aspects of our life related to Body, Mind, Spirit/Love, and Relationships, to help you clarify your own vision and direction.
These sessions are part of the ***8 Decisions ***mastermind group, whose mission is to build a community of authentic, conscious, vision-focused, and heart-centered individuals who have a desire to build something great together and feel fulfilled in every area of their lives.

- Polar Plunge into Presence - Breathe In & Chill Out (Free)Centennial Park, Barrie, ON
Let's meetup at Centennial Park Beach (near the Concession building) on the Barrie waterfront to connect with others, reconnect with our body, and to appreciate the benefits of breathwork, mindful movement, and cold exposure. We'll get started around 8AM, after the hugs and introductions. There’s parking right there and plenty of alternative parking if the lot is full.
This session includes:
•Mobility Warmup: I will guide you through a series of movements to warm up, increase circulation and encourage mind-body connection.
•Breathwork: Conscious Connected Breathing to energize your body and quiet your mind.
•Cold Dip / Swim: Enjoy the energizing benefits of cold exposure by taking a quick dip in the lake, while being guided with your breathing and sensation awareness. (This Meetup will continue through the warm season as well... it will just be a warmer swim and we'll focus more on the breathwork)
The session will last about 45 minutes, allowing for time to hang out and warm up after.
Note: this is a regular weekly session (yep, that's year-round, rain, snow or sunshine!). During the warm season we just focus more on the breathwork. It's actually helpful to start while it's warmer to allow your body to gradually adapt to the cold. Although there may be an occasional weekend where I may not be able to make it, I encourage participants to come out regardless, to move, breathe, and enjoy a brisk dip!
Email me if you have any specific questions: [email protected]
What to bring:
- Comfortable athletic clothing (we do some yoga and stretching)
- Warm sweater / hoodie (you might get chilly during the breathing exercises)

- Water bottle

- Yoga mat or thick towel (for outdoor use, it will get dirty!)
