Live Blood Cell Analysis~What can you see in your blood? Answer is plenty!
Bruce discusses how he uses Dark Field Microscopic technology. Live Blood Cell analysis can reveal distortion of red blood cells which reflect nutrition status, especially low levels of iron, protein, vitamin B12, folic acid, and fatty acids. Incomplete or delayed digestion of fats and proteins can also be observed. In addition liver stress and undesirable bacteria & fungal by-products may be revealed. The live blood thus acts as an educational feedback mechanism, motivating people to improve their diet, perhaps with the addition of nutritional supplements.

Sound Healing with Amber Young

My first exploration of yoga was as a young girl, when I stumbled upon a yoga book at a second hand store. In that moment I truly felt my first deep breath, knowing deep inside this was my path home to myself. Since that time yoga, meditation, song and somatic practices have been an anchor in my life.
In November of 2018 I began Surya Daya, the evolution of a local yoga studio, which was a labour of love and an opportunity for growth. In 2020, I stepped forward into my personal work and continue to offer yoga (virtually and in person), somatic movement, sound healing, and massage.
It’s my intention to bring a heart centered wisdom to this work; honouring the land and our ancestors, while infusing the teachings with joy, laughter and appreciation. I count my blessings every day to be alive after my own journey with cancer, committing deeper to my path in service to life and offering compassion where it is most needed.
Enjoy this sound healing experience and allow yourself to explore your body, release some imprints of stress, relax and relax. Join us with your voice if you feel called, and rest in an extended relaxation with the gong, crystal bowls, drum, and healing chimes

Cultivating Connection with Aromatic Plants with Melissa from Honeybee Homestead

Hi, I’m Melissa, the Honeybee that lives and breathes life into The Homestead. I’ve flown a distance to be here, from the suburbs of Toronto, to city living, to becoming a permanent resident and rural bumpkin. I’m so grateful to have landed here, in Lanark Highlands, and to call this place HOME!
Growing up in the suburbs of Toronto, I had no idea it would lead me to homesteading. Then again, homesteading can happen just about anywhere, as it’s more of a lifestyle and a mindset in modern days, rather than being attached to a certain landscape - at least that’s how I see it.
I fell in love nature and working with the land after a farm internship in 2009. With each season, my relationship deepens. Befriending plants, learning ways to be more self-sufficient, and creating and living life on my own terms, continues to be part of my journey.
Before moving to Honeybee Homestead, community development and arts facilitation were my jam. I worked with groups of children, youth, adults, and seniors, across the country and abroad, in gardens and kitchens, after-school groups building life skills, teaching adaptable and community dance classes, and leading children’s arts and dance camp at MERA Schoolhouse in McDonalds Corners for two years.
In more recent years, foraging and finding ways to give back to the land have stoked my internal fires. My teachings are from the knowledgeable folks at The Sacred Gardener, Chris Outdoors, and many herbalists at Heartwood Herbal Gathering - plus endless books, podcasts and on-going courses. Connecting with the plant people is one of my doors to staying in connection with the world at large.
My insatiable curiosity has me enrolled indefinitely in the School of Life. I’m always researching, learning, and approaching life as an experiment. It keeps things spicy and feeds me! When you visit The Homestead, you’ll get to see these many facets.
No matter what I find myself doing, connection and relationships are at the heART.
Join us for a sensory experience to reconnect—with the seasons, your body, and the Earth—through the subtle power of aromatic plants.
These simple, potent molecules communicate through scent, speaking directly to our nervous systems. Think of the calm that washes over you when you step into a spa—aromatic plants help us drop into our bodies and the present moment.
Together, we’ll explore ways aromatic plants can be introduced into your daily life while tickling your senses with some fresh, aromatic plants.

12PM to 1PM

Breathwork with Catie Clapp

Catie has been working with art and science of breathing for many years now. She became very curious about nervous system regulation and how it affected all other systems of the body.

Moving from a state of survival means we can thrive and create our own realities!
Come experience a guided breath journey, crafted to a beautiful music track. Carve out some space to tap into the innate wisdom that lies within you.

Unity Field with Len McMurrer from Inner U Wellness

My journey into energy and spiritual healing began with a life-altering experience in the mid-1970s. As a young man, I gave little thought to concepts like guardian angels or divine intervention—until I found myself trapped underwater, caught in debris, and certain I was going to drown. Inexplicably, I surfaced, unharmed and unable to logically explain how. That moment opened my mind to the possibility that something greater was watching over me, though at the time, I moved on without fully exploring its meaning.
Decades later, around 2015, I read The Missing Pill by Dr. John Ryan, MD. The book introduced me to Energy Healing and offered a bridge between science and the metaphysical. It resonated deeply with me and rekindled memories of my near-death experience. A few years afterward, I attended a Unity Field Healing practitioner training with Dr. Ryan—a course I initially hadn’t planned to take. The experience was transformative and even alleviated a persistent shoulder issue I’d been dealing with. From that point on, Energy Healing became an integral part of my life.
My path became even clearer after reading Urban Shaman by Dr. Serge Kahili King. I knew then that, upon retirement, I was meant to pursue a new chapter in Energy and Shamanic Healing. I began intensive training through the Foundation for Shamanic Studies and received certifications as a Shamanic Practitioner and in Level 2 Reiki.
After a fulfilling 39.5-year career with Transport/NAV Canada, I retired in 2020. The global pause due to COVID-19 delayed my plans, but once the world reopened, I was ready to begin this new calling.
Today, alongside my loving wife Joan) I’m proud to introduce Inner U Wellness. Joan offers Unity Field Healing (UFH), Reflexology, and Tuning Fork Therapy. I provide services in UFH, Reiki, and Shamanic Healing, helping clients restore balance, insight, and well-being on their healing journey.
Len will be providing mini sessions in Unity Field Healing and speak on his Shamanic and Reiki Practice at the Inner U Wellness booth!
