June 2011 - Yoga Retreat

Dear Friends,

Our apologies for missing the May newsletter as Quantum Leaps has been blissfully busy… we’re very happy and grateful, & trust you are to. Fulfilling “creative projects” especially outdoor ones like gardening, landscaping, log bed building ,rafting etc. we almost forgot about the newsletter. And also with Spring here, who wants to be inside on a computer when you have a choice!  As you all can attest, it is wise to be mindful of priorities; doing those tasks that reflect the important aspects of your life. As well, being clear and real on what one sees as meaningful and having mindful relationships with people and Mother Earth tops our list.  Be it at work or play and everyday, these mindful, meaningful, loving relationships are the stuff of delicious life force. The Sweet Spot!  So here we are on a sunny day getting this Newsletter out to you "smile"

The Quantum Leaps COOKBOOK is still available for sale! The cost is only $20. (If you wish one mailed to you, add shipping costs of $5 plus tax) You can order one on line off of our website. OR stop by the Lodge to buy one & get a free Better World Shoppers Guide. Better yet get one while you are here on Retreat! I know you will enjoy all of the 60 plus recipes in the book. 

If you are on Facebook, we invite you to join our Quantum Leaps Lodge group.  There you will find great info and beautiful photos.  Just search Quantum Leaps Lodge and ask to join...it's that simple!

Have a beautiful and glorious summer.

ps. some of the projects we've been creating this spring has been to ever expand our garden, plant the garden, and to add beauty everywhere. So thus we now have a Goddess overseeing the growth of all the vegetables in the Greenhouse!

 Meaningful Mindfulness Yoga Retreat

This past weekend, Quantum Leaps was blessed again with the presence of Yoga Instructor and Life Coach Tracy Delfs, facilitating the Mindfulness Yoga Retreat. What a powerful weekend it was! Thank you to all the participants for coming out to Quantum Leaps and joining the journey. I was full of gratitude for being able to participate in this amazing weekend. There was an abundance of stimulating yoga classes and thought provoking dharma sessions (talking circles) around the power of conscious Mindfulness and how it serves us vitally in our lives. Tracey has spent a lot of time in the presence of the master of Mindfulness (or could we say Heartfulness?) Tich Nhat Hanh and her teachings really show her depth of experience. We had the opportunity to be in silence for one Lunch.  This taught us to eat more "mindfully" and slowly, absorbing the nutrients of the delicious food we were eating.  We were also immersed in Nature by taking a beautiful rafting trip on the Blaeberry River and doing an amazing hike to breathtaking Thompson Falls. Some of Mother Natures most wondrous scenery and rapids for sure. Combine all this with the scrumptious and healthy cuisine from Goddess Chef Nicole … and we had a 2 day event that no one wanted to end! That kind of feedback from our guests, brings a proud smile to all the faces of QL. When we can host successful events time and time again, like the Mindfulness Yoga Retreat, and leave our guests wanting more, then we know we are all over the “creative project” thing and providing a "safe sanctuary".  Thanks so much to all those who attended that wonderful June retreat and Tracy Delfs for her expert, compassionate, and fun facilitation of the event.  In fact QL will be hosting another Mindfulness Yoga Retreat from September 23-25th, 2011.  This time we will be adding a Fire Walking Ceremony to the weekend! Registration is open now at www.quantumleaps.ca.
And if you or your group is considering an ideal location for an upcoming event, think tank or a getaway … we wanna talk to you! After visiting our website you may have questions. Please don’t hesitate to call us 8am-8pm MST toll free 1 800 716 2494
I am loving it here!
Thank You
