Withdrawing yourself from the routine and responsibilities of everyday life grants you the physical and mental space to invite a restorative and transformative experience. You give yourself permission to truly immerse yourself in a learning experience and safe environment to explore, learn, and refuel.
At enso, our signature “A Shade More…” programs are like learning events on steroids, except the side effects are restorative, transformative and inspiring. We know that taking time away from a hectic pace and learning with like-minded people in a supportive community, help you explore and discover new ways of being or refocus and recharge your energy. You will leave an enso program energized, confident and focused to shift into your truest self.
“Until as such time as you choose to put on your own O2 mask, and give the vitality of life to yourself, you simply cannot be there for anyone else. The critical care of yourself must be placed first. Not from a selfish place, but from your soul. When nourished, it can become the place where space, support and energy can be given to others. This program is the first stopover on that journey. It is a safe and life giving place that provides you space to get solidly rooted. Here, each week, you will grow a little more and begin moving a shade in the direction of learning the why and how to create a self care plan for yourself. It is a powerful and beautiful experience. You will meet like minded participants and have a social media platform provided for you, where you can interact with each other, learn from each other, and continue to share and grow. The program is beautifully delivered by Dori Howard, who runs Enso. Please take the time to see all the programs/retreats she offers, as there is something that will speak to everyone. Also, I would encourage you to take time to read her blog. You will find yourself amongst the beautiful prose of her writing, and I know for me, it's been a place I visit often. Dori is living her gift, with honesty, awareness, connection, and her innate desire for you to grow a shade more, into the human you were meant to be. To that end, she will educate, encourage, and hold space for you, as you walk through this experience. You can lean in as little or much as you need/like. I highly recommend this program to anyone. It has been a powerful catalyst for me to launch in new directions, while understanding the importance of my own self care, and getting that O2 mask on, so that I can be there in meaningful ways for those I love and care for. Professionally and personally”.

“ENSO's HEALTHcare SELFcare online offering presenting the 4 shades of Peace and Ease couldn't have come at a better time. As we are all challenged to find our way in the new order of life living with COVID-19 in our communities, self- care has been taking a back seat to survival mode in the face of the unprecedented physical distancing separating us from loved ones and activities. I found these 4 weeks have flown by and- along with the season of Spring that is upon us- has brought newfound beginnings of peace and healing. The exceptional prompts and guidelines for developing and articulating our weekly goals has been easy to connect with , in a truly non-judgemental environment of freely- given supports , within a compassionate, curious, caring community of like -hearted women. A big plus has been - at the age for 66- finally being guided to meditate in a way that resonates with me , and the brave new world of self-honouring and rejuvenation it is revealing is both peaceful and exciting. Integral to the tone and heart of this whole program has been exposing us to gentle , calming music selections to guide us in the work and to soothe our souls. I am so grateful for Dori and ENSO for offering this opportunity and look forward to continuing on in this journey every single day.”
“This program not only assisted me in my heart and soul alignment, by helping me express my emotions and accept them in a healthy way, but it also provided me with an amazing support network in a positive online community! These practices gave me the motivation to put time aside for myself and take care of my entire self in the best way possible. Thank you for this wonderful experience!” ~Emily
