In Shamanic practice, it’s understood that when we experience trauma it’s not unusual for parts of our soul to separate from us in order to survive. If the soul parts don’t return we can be left feeling depleted and confused, as though we are “not all here.” In this session, learn about the powerful and life-changing healing ceremony of Soul Retrieval where the practitioner travels to other realities to find your lost soul parts and return them home to you. We will also explore areas of your life where you may have experienced soul loss and what you can do to start calling your soul parts home.

Led by Rev. Christina Lee, of Mountaintop Unity in North Vancouver, on December 31 at 10:30 a.m. In this ceremony we call forth the special energy that exists as 2006 draws to a close and we intentionally discern that which no longer serves us as we prepare for the rebirth of the New Year.

After the exceptional success of the inaugural First Night in Surrey last New Year's Eve, the province's Second City is planning another night of fun, frivolity and fiesta. Thousands jammed Central City Plaza and the Central City Shopping Centre last Dec. 31 for a night of entertainment, magic, cosmic skating (I kid you not!), ice sculptures and more. All of those features are planned for the second annual affair at the same site. The event features two Midnight countdowns—the usual 12 midnight with fireworks, of course, as well as a 9 pm for the small fry to celebrate the tradition. Volunteers from Surrey number in the hundreds for the event, which is sponsored by the City and the Whalley Business Improvement Association. More information is available at whalleybia.com or surrey.ca. The non-alcohol event centres around King George Highway at 102nd St.
