Most of the province is uninhabited and difficult to access, especially in the north Pinehouse Recovery Lake Program The Recovery Lake Program (RLP) is a community-led program in the northern village of Pinehouse, a predominantly Métis community, established with the aim of using wholistic community-led and -driven approaches to promote healing in the context of substance use. Substance and alcohol use is a problem in northern Saskatchewan, with the rate of hospitalizations for alcohol-related issues and injuries suffered while intoxicated is more than five times the national average. Additionally, barriers at the individual, social and cultural levels in isolated communities continue to impede access to substance use treatment. This research project will explore improving service delivery by incorporating additional land- and culture-based activities as part of the program, conduct process and outcome evaluations to provide much-needed Two-eyed Seeing evidence, and examine the inclusion of an aftercare component to further advance health and wellness outcomes for clients. Objectives: Evaluate of the Recovery Lake Program to highlight the wise practices of land- and culture-based interventions in the context of substance use for Indigenous communities. Make recommendations towards policy formulation and service delivery. Dr. Malcolm King and his research team, pewaseskwan, built and nurtured relationships with Pinehouse over the course of two years. The team was privileged to be invited to community gatherings about the RLP; by participating in these meetings and conducting further interviews with key community members, the team supported the community in identifying research priorities and developing the study’s framework. Pinehouse is heavily invested in the project and will assume leadership all through project implementation. Established in 1987, the RLP is held at a campsite close to the community, from late spring to early fall, with approximately 10 to 15 participants at a time (Joehnck, 2017). Community members provide all-around support in terms of funding, the provision of traditional foods, the facilitation of cultural activities and workshops, and addictions and spiritual counselling. The RLP’s approach to wellness is based on cultural continuity which is described as “traditional intergenerational connectedness, which is maintained through intact families and the engagement of Elders, who pass traditions to subsequent generations” (Loppie Reading & Wien, 2009). The expected participant outcomes centre around generational healing and recovery, with a focus on harm reduction, as opposed to the pursuit of complete sobriety. It is funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. 2019 Annual Elders Gathering Originally called "Snake Lake", Pinehouse Lake is predominantly a Métis community in northern Saskatchewan is located in the boreal forest on the western shore of Pinehouse Lake.

Initially situated downstream on the Churchill River, its relocation was encouraged near the future site of the Island Falls Generating Station, eventually altering traditional lifestyles and shaping the community's growth. The transformation continued as the Island Falls Generating Station reshaped the region, leading to Sandy Bay's establishment as a Local Community Authority in 1965. However, with the station's switch to an automated system in 1966, employment opportunities dwindled. Subsequent developments, like the introduction of an all-weather road in 1967 and the designation as a northern village in the 1980s, brought necessary services but also shifted the community's economic focus toward tourism. Today, SaskPower oversees the dam's operations, now entirely automated. While the community sustains a local store, residents often access additional supplies and groceries in Flin Flon, Manitoba, reachable via a two-hour drive along gravel and paved highways.

The only prescription for burnout is awe. 🌌 The Burnout Trap The first few weeks after the holidays are a universal moment of truth. You should feel energized and focused on your New Year's manifestation goals, but instead, you're hit with the Post-Holiday Burnout.  That feeling of impossible darkness, fatigue, and losing focus on your goals? I know it well. My journey from the high-stress environment of the ICU to capturing the healing light of the Northern Lights taught me the hard way: Burnout is the enemy of Manifestation . You can't attract what you can't focus on. Your manifestation journey requires a consistent, positive Visual Anchor . As a nurse and therapeutic photographer, I've created three practical, actionable Therapeutic Photography Hacks  you can use right now to instantly reset your mind, reclaim your focus, and start manifesting your most ambitious goals for the New Year. Let's turn that post-holiday slump into your biggest spiritual launchpad. The 5-Minute "Awe" Reset - Manifestation Reset Manifestation Reset The fastest way to break a cycle of fatigue is by engaging the subconscious with something that inspires pure awe . The problem with holiday burnout is the repetitive, low-frequency energy of stress and routine. My clinical background taught me that shifting focus—even for 5 minutes—can physically alter your brain chemistry. Your Therapeutic Hack: Find Your Cosmos:  Choose a piece of high-contrast, dynamic art that represents the infinite (like a Northern Lights print). The Focus:  Spend 5 minutes simply looking up  at the piece. Don't think about bills or tasks. Let the energy of the image reset your mind. Result:  You instantly move from a state of fatigue to a state of infinite possibility , setting a higher frequency for your manifestation work. Reclaim Your Resilience Anchor Burnout feels chaotic, but you are not broken. Choose an image that represents an unbreakable anchor (like these rooted trees) enduring the most powerful cosmic forces. Let this visual affirmation condition your mind to always return to strength. One of the main symptoms of burnout is the loss of resilience —the ability to bounce back from the minor setbacks of daily life. Your manifestation goals require you to feel strong and unbreakable. Your Therapeutic Hack: Identify Your Storm:  Think about a moment when you overcame a major personal "storm" (for me, it was surviving a tornado and finding purpose afterward). Find Your Symbol:  Choose an art print that visually embodies that strength or moment of change. It should be a constant, silent reminder of your past victory. Daily Practice:  Place your chosen print in a high-traffic area. Every time you see it, silently affirm: "I am resilient. I always bounce back."  This conditions your mind to hold that resilient energy needed for successful manifestation. The Gift of Intentional Living The Power of Focus:  Your manifestation journey requires a clean slate and powerful focus after the holiday chaos. Choose art that represents the infinite possibilities ahead, like the vibrant, vast energy of a red and green cosmic burst. Let this image be the visual map for your most ambitious New Year goals. Now that the stress is gone, it's time to set an intentional path. The beautiful thing about the Law of Attraction  is that it responds to clarity. After the noise of the holidays, we need to choose exactly what we want to attract. Your Therapeutic Hack: Shop By Intention:  Instead of buying art because it's pretty, buy it because it symbolizes  your specific New Year goal (e.g., choose a vibrant green Aurora for healing, or a vast sky for abundance). Install and Commit:  Purchase a piece of Healing Wall Art  and dedicate a specific area of your home to it. This space becomes your manifestation corner. The Daily Ritual:  Dedicate 60 seconds each morning to visualizing your New Year goals while looking at that piece. This consistent practice is the engine that drives your manifestation forward. Your New Year Reset Awaits You don't have to wait to start your best year yet. Use these three hacks to cure that Holiday Burnout  and launch your most ambitious manifestation journey. If you need a new Visual Anchor  to drive your intentions, our high-resolution prints offer instant, therapeutic energy. Manifestation Reset!

Enchanted Skies: Aurora Borealis Above Boreal Forest Introduction: The Ultimate Canadian Chase If you're chasing the Aurora Borealis, you're chasing the light of a lifetime. But the secret to finding the most spectacular displays—like the ones that look like fire dancing above the treeline—isn't just luck; it's knowing where and how to look. I'm Dre Erwin, and after years dedicated to capturing the cosmos, my mission is to share the awe-inspiring magic of the Northern Lights. As a CBC-featured nurse and photographer , I've explored the Canadian North extensively, using the calming, transformative power of this light to foster resilience and mental well-being. Here is my ultimate, permanent guide to the best locations, along with actionable tips to make your viewing a success. Section 1: The Essential Forecast Factors  (Revised Science) To maximize your chances, you need to know three things about the sky, regardless of the season: Solar Activity:  The Aurora is closely linked to solar flares and coronal mass ejections. Periods of heightened activity lead to more frequent and vivid light shows. Geomagnetic Conditions:  Geomagnetic storms amplify the auroral activity, often resulting in widespread visibility outside the typical polar regions. Atmospheric Conditions:  Clear skies and minimal light pollution are non-negotiable for optimal viewing. Reflective Splendor: Northern Lights Dance Above Majestic Landscapes Section 2: The 5 Best Places to Hunt the Aurora  (Focus on Saskatchewan) While Alaska and the NWT are known destinations, there are incredible secrets closer to home, offering unforgettable experiences: Saskatchewan's Best-Kept Secret: Pinehouse Lake.  Forget the crowds. The remote wilderness areas of Northern Saskatchewan, like Pinehouse Lake, offer breathtaking, dark skies and unique viewing experiences over vast frozen landscapes. Northern Canada's Big Three:  Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut provide optimal, dark conditions due to their proximity to the Arctic Circle. Alaska Northern United States Best Places to See Northern Lights in North America Section 3: Practical Tips & Your Visual Anchor  (Conversion Funnel) Actionable Tips for Auroral Viewing: Monitor Reports:  Stay informed by monitoring geomagnetic activity reports and aurora forecasts. Be Patient:  The Northern Lights can be unpredictable—prepare to spend time outdoors. Capture the Moment:  Bring a camera with manual settings to photograph the light show. Anchor Your Intentions:  The awe you feel under the Aurora is the perfect frequency for manifestation. If you can’t get north right now, bring the light to you.  Shop our high-resolution Manifestation Art Prints  that serve as a daily visual anchor for healing and abundance. ➡️ Click here to shop the Manifestation Collection and own a piece of the cosmos.

In the realm of personal growth and success, few stories resonate as profoundly as that of actor and comedian Jim Carrey. His journey from struggling comedian to Hollywood superstar is not just a tale of talent and perseverance but a testament to the transformative power of positive thinking and the belief that when one door closes, another opens. The Power of Visualization: A Blank Check for $10 Million Jim Carrey's story begins during a time of financial hardship and uncertainty in his career. Faced with rejection and setbacks, he took a bold step - he wrote himself a check for $10 million, postdated it for five years into the future, and carried it with him everywhere. This symbolic gesture wasn't just wishful thinking; it was a manifestation of his unwavering belief in his own potential. Focus on what you want in life Living in the Future: The Law of Attraction in Action Carrey didn't stop at writing the check; he lived as if that future reality was already his. He visualized himself receiving that $10 million, attracting success through the Law of Attraction.
