Your search for up-to-date and interesting information on health and well being is over. The Wellness Circle at the Peachland Wellness Centre is an exciting and dynamic group of people that meet every Wednesday morning. Whether you come to just listen, share or both, everyone is welcome and the only requirement is your enthusiasm and an open mind.

Alice Mumm, the program leader invites a wide variety of guest speakers to lead the morning sessions. Last year the participants were enlightened on topics ranging from the seven major chakras, remedies using herbs and essential oils, energy healing on emotions through Reiki, to many discussions on nutrition led by Lisa Kilgour, a local registered holistic nutritionist. This years’ line up looks just as exciting. So far we have been treated to an information session on Tai Chi, an Oriental Healing Foods workshop and I spoke recently on my experience at the Vancouver Peace Summit. I shared my thoughts and reflections after attending a session with the Dalai Lama, Eckhart Tolle and other spiritual leaders.

 Alice starts each session with an energizing warm up to some upbeat drum music to make sure the group’s energy comes alive. She then hands the floor over to the day’s guest speaker for their presentation. Everyone is welcome to add their own thoughts and experience to the current topic and all participants are assured that any personal information that they choose to share is treated as confidential. This goes along way to making sure everyone is comfortable sharing their own story.

 By coming together to shares different views and ideas, we bring a collective energy to this and the larger community that would not exist if we all kept to ourselves just going about our daily lives.  I believe it is groups such as this one that are happening all over the world that are part of the global awakening that many spiritual teachers are talking about. The Dalai Lama says “Without love we could not survive. Human beings are social creatures, and a concern for each other is the very basis of our life together”.

Perhaps the Wellness Circle is not just a way of healing yourself, but a way to heal the world.
