Our Facilitators:
Vanessa Lesperance is committed to decolonizing business through workplace spirituality which looks like: developing and maintaining a meaningful connection to self, others, nature and a higher being/consciousness. She is the facilitator and founder of Vancity Labyrinth who works with heart-centred organizations and leaders and her mission is to create the best work environments possible by leveraging her Metis (Anishinaabe-French) ancestor's Indigenous worldviews and inviting people to bring their whole selves to work: mind, body, emotion and spirit. She offers ‘The Medicine Wheel teaches us that in order to be well we need to seek holistic balance. This applies in all areas of our life - including work.’ Her masters research examines spirituality in the workplace and how it impacts our well-being. Workplace spirituality helps to decolonize business; enhances diversity and inclusion; creates deeper relationships at work; increases productivity and the bottom line; aids in well-being and helps employees find purpose, fulfillment and meaningful connections.

Preparing for impact.
We are so much more than who we think we are.

What might it feel like to lead more bravely?
What might you be able to tap into that you don't yet realize is even a possibility?
MODULE ONE
Find Your Feet
Know where you stand and what you stand for, your values, beliefs, hopes, and dreams all make for a strong foundation. Right in the centre, the fulcrum or balance point in the middle, lies clarity in all that we have forgotten. As we regain our balance point, we can be there for others as they regain their own.
MODULE TWO
Stand In The Gap
As you stand in the gap of uncertainty, it is your time to call in who and what you need. You can’t do this alone, and you’re not meant to. In order to unlock the next level of living in unity and interconnectedness, we must be willing to stand in the gap between the known and the unknown.
MODULE THREE
Build Your Faith Muscle
Absolute FAITH lies dormant until it is ignited. It’s like a muscle we forgot we had. Building tangible faith requires exercise, trust in action, tools, and a tribe that you know has your back.
