INTUITIVE LIVING: 
Self Defense 
for Women ©
An Urgent Workshop for ALL Women

Awakening your intuition: your greatest tool for self defense

Offered in Sylvan Lake & Rimbey, AB. A portion of the proceeds are donated to the Central Alberta Women's Emergency Shelter, in Red Deer, AB, to support its cause for providing a safe and positive environement for abused women and children.

For Women & Girls, Ages 12+

We live in a dangerous world. In fact, "Alberta has the highest rate of reported family violence in Canada and leads the Country in domestic assault, homicide-suicide, and stalking" (Stats Canada). But what makes our world even more dangerous is that in many instances, our thoughts, actions and behaviours are on "Autopilot", making us more vulnerable to dangerous situations.

The goal of "Inuitive Living: Self Defense for Women" © is to empower participants with the resources necessary to recognize and escape from potentially dangerous situations. A large part of this is providing participants with self-defense tactics that develop awareness and intuition  so that women can avoid dangerous situations before they even happen. In other words, participants recieve self-defense training that focuses on the mind, body and spirit.

The 1-Day Workshop includes:

*  Prevention Strategies for Dangerous Encounters
*  Prevention Tips for Safe-Proofing your Environment 
*  Strategies for Increasing Your Awareness 
*  Full Contact Scenerios with Padded Aggressor
* Ground Fighting Techniques 
* Standing Defenses to Chokes & Grabs
*  Profile of An Attacker: What to look for

INTUITIVE LIVING: Self Defense for Women © truly exemplifies a non-combative model towards women’s safety and personal protection. Instead, it promotes assertiveness, confidence and self-worth so that women can experience a continuous state of awareness in order to prevent a dangerous situation before it even happens. In addition, women learn startling yet accurate facts of violence against women and quickly realize that by focusing solely on the “stranger-danger” mentality, women only gain a false sense of personal safety and security.    

Moreover, the instructors of the workshop aim to create a constructive environment of feedback and support. This is crucial in promoting and restoring women’s self-esteem and confidence.
