I’ve decided to continue for another chapter of Alive 🙂

I was ready to honour my word & end my time at the end of this chapter, but my hubby urged me to reconsider, as he sees how happy it makes me. Since my word for this year is “Glow”, I’ve decided that it would be silly to step away from anything that enhances my life & nourishes my soul in the way that this program does.

I’m so looking forward it!! I really love exploring all of the themes again, as I find going through them a second time brings such a different perspective & even more depth.

I joined the Alive program to give me something to focus on during the pandemic throughout winter, never expecting I would find a tribe of people open to exploring, without judgement, our individual journeys. This is not a therapy group, but it is therapeutic. Each retreat is so specifically curated
to offer an experience that is tailored to the theme, the members, and what is going on around us. This is not a pre-scripted program, although I can't help but feel that I am being carried along a path that allows for exploration and learning, that I get to do at my own pace. I wish for everyone to have something like this in their life.

I joined Alive at the start of last year not knowing what I needed out of it and not really knowing much about the program. But it has changed me. It’s now clear to me the power of community, the strength in self awareness and the beauty of discovery.

I did the full year because after the first 3 months I couldn't stop. I wanted more, I needed more. Tina opens her heart and soul to the community and teaches us how to feel free within ourselves, allowing us the space to be free and vulnerable. I am truly a better person because of this program.

My journey in finding the Alive program was that I wanted to connect with my word of the year for 2020, which was Open. I wanted to go deeper into my spiritual journey, experience new insights, and feel all of the beautiful benefits of a yoga retreat every month instead of just once a year, which was my practice to date. I thought, what if I could feel this amazing every month! I jumped online, did some exploring, and found Tina, the Yoga Attic and Alive. I eagerly signed up, without having ever met Tina, and this decision has changed my life.

Guided by the kind-hearted and soulful Tina in the most gorgeous forest-lined and magical setting, the Alive program provides an opportunity to reflect deeply on a different theme every month - anything from Leadership & New Beginnings to Freedom to Play & Adventure.

Its foundation is a unique blend of movement practices (yoga, dancing and other surprises), delicious and nourishing food, self and group exploration, awesome guest speakers, and the cultivation of joy, love and deep community. The connection to a circle of women who share their experiences, who are vulnerable and so courageous in every aspect of their lives is the richness of the program and something that I had not understood when I first signed up. I have never felt so supported by, and connected to, so many incredible women who hold space for one another in such a beautiful way and in such a breathtaking space. There is room for everyone - introverts, extroverts, those who share readily, those who are more private and need a bit of time to open up. With the program being a full year, you see everyone’s
journey over a sustained period and the profound change that can emerge as we flow through the moon phases and seasons. My participation has been overwhelmingly positive - I am calmer, more grounded, growing in my intuition, feeling abundant rather than scared, and most of all, quieter - this has allowed me to hear my deeper knowing, to be aware of ever so subtle but momentous shifts in my way of being and thinking that I would have missed before and that have been imprinted on my soul forever.

You’re such a wonderful leader and I hope that you know how incredible & valuable your work is. I’m always blown away by every experience!

I am loving everything about the Alive program and so so sooooooo happy that I joined! Between the retreats, Daily Awakenings, and the bookclubs I am learning and growing so much. I love checking in at the retreats as it reminds me of what matters most in the different areas of life and I always learn something new!

The sharing is so meaningful. I learn so much from listening to other people's experiences and perspectives. The Alive program is overflowing with goodness and I am loving it! Your vision is a gift to the world Tina and I feel so blessed to be apart of this heart-opening community.

I had the pleasure of being part of the first Alive group in 2019 and it was exactly what I didn't know I needed.

If you knew of a place where you could be yourself - no judgement; be seen and feel safe and be heard and held by a group of like-minded women, would you go there?

As a full-time caregiver to my parents, the Alive program provided me with some respite; the time and space I needed to explore and feel what I was experiencing. It was a place to learn and grow. A place to share and express my feelings in a safe space. The program was such a gift. It was an opportunity to reflect and it is where I began my journey of self-care and self-compassion. Through our year together during the 2019 Alive program there were friendships made that have continued to grow. These friends were there for me when I lost my father during the first Covid lockdown last year.

The Yoga Attic is unlike anything I have experienced. Tina is a warm caring soul whose mission is to create and foster real connections and Yoga Attic is the space that she has created that does just that. The connections that our Alive sisterhood has formed is a testament to the power of this program.

We came together as 19 individuals, at different places in our lives and with different stories to tell, but with a common aim of living more intentionally. We have shared ourselves with each other and discovered (as is usually the case) that we have more in common than not.

We are all compassionate, kind, caring, thoughtful, loving, spirited, resilient, and fierce. We end this year as a community, a tribe...a family. May we always remember that we are all queens, dreamers and seekers, alive and free, and powerful beyond measure! It has been an honour to walk this road with each of you, and I thank you all for this amazing experience.(...) Whatever road(s) you take, know that I am right here cheering you on.

I waited until the last minute to sign up for this program. I was scared but drawn in by the thought of the connection with other women who felt like I did.

Wanting a safe place to grow, share and be vulnerable, without judgement.That first day we were all a bit nervous but you could feel the energy in the room was all about positivity and love.

We all wanted to find connection and boy did we ever! Joining the Alive program opened my mind, my heart and my soul. I’ve made deep connections that feed my need for community and friendship.
I continue to work on myself using what I learned during our year long program.I highly recommend making the investment in yourself. Tina is a warm and caring guide for this journey. You won’t regret it.
