Join Sasha Pierce, an artist whose work can be found in private and public collections around the world. Your August 17 and 18, 2024 all-inclusive summer reset spans three days and two nights of chef-prepared meals, luxurious private cabin accommodations, signature guided mindfulness sessions, canoeing, kayaking or paddle boarding and dedicated time for releasing your hidden creative talents through guided lakeside water colour painting sessions with Sasha.
Sasha Pierce is an artist whose work can be found in private and public collections around the world. She holds a Master of Fine Arts from the University of Waterloo and her recent solo exhibitions include Zalucky Contemporary, Toronto and Richard Heller Gallery, Santa Monica.
She embarked on a career as a visual artist so that she could deeply listen to her intuition and create beauty. Sasha’s healing path towards greater awareness of our shared presence has been supported by her pursuit of knowledge surrounding meditation, shamanic healing, reiki, yoga and breathing. Her formative exploration of these important healing modalities led to her completion of a two-year advanced apprenticeship in shamanic healing with Daniel Leonard, Medicine Circle and her designation as a Reiki Master is thanks to her work with Paul Lara, Qi Belly. Sasha is a 200 hr yoga instructor and completed Yoga Teacher Training with YuMee Chung and Nicki Poole in 2019. She continues to facilitate New Moon Ceremonies with Lana Lontos.
As she continues on her creative and spiritual journey she feels called to help others on theirs.
