Neither sleet nor snow could keep her away...
She's back! On November 30th, just after
the two-day snow storm that hit the West Coast, Joann arrived at The Haven
to lead her first Anger, Boundaries and Safety course since her heart surgery
in the summer. Her arrival with her husband Pete was a much anticipated and joyous occasion and although fatigued
from the journey, she was happy to get here and to no surprise, immediately
organized a meeting with the other leaders. Her dedication to what she
does is a triumph to the human spirit. By all reports, her essence shone forth during
the course and what was amazing to see was the transformation by the end of the
four days. One of our beliefs here at Haven is that through connection we find healing. Joann’s life journey continues
to be a testament to this belief. We dearly appreciate you Joann and we
are so glad you are back with us.
Shen — Appreciation and Anticipation
For years now, this bi-annual tradition has been one of the ways of keeping
us all connected. Many Haven friends have
written to us expressing their appreciation and their anticipation for
the Shen and many have made personal and meaningful contributions. Our next
edition of the Shen will be distributed in late January.
Did you know that Shen,
our bi-annual
Newsletter, is available from The Haven website?
It can be both viewed as a web page
and a full print version.
Please let us know if you would rather receive an email
with a web link vs. receiving a printed copy by snail mail. Please email us at
shen@haven.ca
with "I want the Shen via email" as your subject line and include your full
name in the email body. Many thanks for helping
us conserve!

It’s never too late for Reflections
Make the
last days of 2006 and the first of 2007 memorable. If
you have been part of Reflections-past, this
special 5-day tradition at The Haven, you likely have your own
collection of
great stories and treasured connections. And if you have not, let this
be the
year you look back on as the first of many Reflections to come! Come and join Ben & Jock, and hear all about
their annual and most recent travel adventures. Hosted by our dear friends, Cathy & Ernie McNally, this is
where old
friends and soon-to-be new friends reflect, share, connect and act
together. (Reflections: December
28 to January 1). Visit The Haven website
via this link to register: http://haven.ca/db/a.courseDetail/id.55

savings! Order on-line through The Haven store

Give the Gift of Learning and Connection
Many people have arrived at The Haven as a
result of
some caring friend or family member gifting them a course or directly
through donors
making a donation to Learning Person-to- Person Fund (Bursaries). At this time of year, when many of us are
looking to connect through giving, we invite you to reflect on your own
meaningful
experiences at The Haven. Who in your
life might appreciate having the time for their life? Contact
us today and inquire about donating
to The Haven Foundation or about gift certificates for learning for
your
friends and family. Email us at
development(at)haven.ca
today for more information.
