Let's explore ways to juggle work, family, and self-care without losing our minds in this online event!
I will be offering a Yoga class and Women’s Circle during this yoga conference
VIA ZOOM 11:30 AM UK / 5:30AM JA / 6:30 AM ET / 6:30 PM CIT / 8:30 PM AEST
How to return to loving the most important person in your life: YOU!
Based on the premise that self-love is the most radical form of activism, this experiential workshop unpacks the origins of our 'love stories.' The intention is a return to loving ourselves unapologetically, first and foremost. From this, all else flows. Includes journaling, intimate sharing and more.
TIP: Bring a small mirror along with you!

A Day of Inspiring Dialogue & Classes
Spend 3 nights/4 days listening to the Whisperings of your Soul through Yoga, Sound and Self Care
GOOD HOPE VILLAS, JAMAICA
October 21 - 24, 2021
Thursday to Sunday
After about three days of questioning both my mental state and my menopausal cycle, all the while 'chopping and carrying,' my Sun broke through, beaming some much needed light onto me.
As one dear friend reminded me in the heights of my chaos, feelings are not facts. Instead, use them as a barometer to truly 'check-in' and see what's brewing beneath the surface. For me, I began to recognize the extent to which I feel as though I'm at the end of my tether.
COVID-19's FAR reaching consequences are starting to be felt across Jamaica; runaway inflation rates, not to mention the foul stench of fear that I constantly witness in people, acting out in all sorts of bizarre ways.
All is not lost though as I remind myself each morning that I rise and am blessed with a brand new day!
Each time that we experience a new moon, it invites us to begin anew. *October's invitation is about restoring balance, re-establishing boundaries and invoking equanimity in all of our thoughts, deeds and actions. How?
Here's my list, which begins on 1 October:
WAAY less social media -- I may even step away all together
Calling in support where I need it
Focus 90% of my productive time on the ONE project that I'd like to shift towards fruition before year end
Deepen into total mindfulness -- paying reverent attention to how I nourish and nurture my body, mind and soul
Harvest and hibernate: this is what the season beckons [at least in the Northern Hemisphere]
*If you're into astrology, then do spend some time reading up on how you might be affected by this upcoming lunation.
How do you intend to honor yourself during this upcoming new moon?

For several years, I've hosted my signature workshop entitled,
"Self-Love Is A Practice"
Men and women from all over the world have benefited greatly from this workshop which includes several experiential activities,
including creating a Love [vision] board.
A few mornings ago in my meditation, it came to me that it is time to up-level this offering. So many of us, self-included, have done a TON of personal development work.
Through our efforts, we've left jobs, started companies, had children, grieved losses and MORE.
Yet, still, there remains one aspect of our lives that we aren't enjoying that which we desire: Love In Partnership.
Even more so though is that the ability to love ourselves unapologetically allows us to develop and maintain healthy boundaries in our relationship with ourselves and others.
If you are finally ready to relinquish the illusion of struggle around love and partnership, you've come to
the right place.
In this webinar you’ll learn:
~ You are the sole cause of your life
~ How you have co-created your aloneness
~ Your relational history's ideals may be outdated and no longer relevant to a fully self-expressed you
~ How by enhancing awareness around your love language how to invite complimentary love into your life
~ How to re-kindle your current partnership to bring sizzle back into your lives.
This is my birth month so in honor of Me, I'm inviting you to join me as I enter the Lion's Gate, with a New Moon in Leo.
What is the Lion's Gate?
Astrologically speaking, it is a time where new levels of consciousness are infused into the planet and also into each of us individually. So as this gate swings open, we are swept over the threshold—almost like one of those old movies where the bride is lifted up and carried over the doorstep as a symbol of the beginning of a new life.

What IS a Women's Circle?
Steeped in meaning and ritual, a women’s circle is an invitation for us to gather as women, sharing and witnessing the stories of others from a place of deep compassion, dignity, humility, divine grace and reverent love.
Community stands at the heart of who we are as women, and especially in today’s world, we thrive in solidarity, seated shoulder to shoulder. When one of us heals, we all heal.
Bring a sister, a mother, a daughter, a lover, a friend.....Whoever she/her is know that open hearts and arms await!

Women from across the world who have sat with her in Circle, have returned to their communities to offer this necessary and important work. Her mantra for this work is: when one of us suffers, we all suffer. Yet when one of us heals, we all heal.

Authentic love is magnetic!
We pull towards us persons and situations that reflect how we feel about ourselves. So, the first step to finding love is discovering it within YOU! How? Simply by being present and aware of our thoughts and actions, no matter how tiny they may seem.
Throughout this workshop we’ll engage in dialogue to uncover illusions that lurk within our psyche, blocking our capacity to let our love flow freely and fully. With breath, movement and visualization, we create an artistic expression, one that we can return to daily as a practice, for endless doses of love.
*Bring an expression of your love to be placed upon the Love altar. All other supplies will be provided.
Nadine McNeil’s twenty-odd year career within the United Nations, serving at locations across the globe, is what guided her towards yoga, primarily as a necessary tool for self-care while serving in volatile, conflict scenarios. Her current mission includes designing and implementing a yoga module that especially supports those who tirelessly serve others through their daily work.
