Grit Vancouver

09/12/2026

It was always my dream to collaborate with super-rad, sparkly, intelligent women in East Van. Like actually. It was something I wrote down as a goal 2 years ago when living in North Van and hustling Grit solo.

Fast forward to East Van Wisdom School.

And the first official offering of East Van Wisdom School gets to be Grey MATR. I’m honoured.

Come join us for Grey MATR and take a dive into the science behind our well-being. Six weeks of connection, community, introspection, laughter and learning.

Something is taking shape at East Van Wisdom School, and we want to celebrate by bringing people together.

We’re joining forces in the spirit of connection, collaboration and cross-pollination.

East Van Wisdom School is now the shared home of Delia Brett, Alix Dunham and Lisa Gibson — three practitioners with different backgrounds, practices and perspectives, brought together by a shared belief that wisdom is something we create together. Mindfulness, Zen meditation and ritual, creative practice, yoga and more all part of the collection of offerings.

COME GET A TASTE
Come meet us, connect with others and get a little taste of what each of us brings to East Van Wisdom School.

Friday, September 25 / 7-8:30pm / free!
👉🏻 7–8:30 time to mingle, experience some of our different approaches to wisdom and awareness, and share some food and conversation

👉🏻7:30–8:00 gather for the formal part of the evening: three short wisdom tasters, followed by creating a community mandala from our hopes for ourselves, our community and our world.

Come curious. Come as you are. Come see what happens when we bring our practices, our questions and our gifts together.

Everyone is welcome.
And even though it’s free, we’d still love you to grab a spot.

Emotional regulation is a skill that can be taught. It’s best taught in relationship - with consistency, support and compassion. It’s what we do at Grit.

We give kids the tools to deal with adversity when it happens (and we all know it will happen).

We give kids the tools to deal with anxiety when it happens (and we all know it will happen).

We give kids the tools to deal with tricky friendship dynamics when they happen (and we all know they will happen).

This fall, we get to run Lunch Grit at Braemar, Seymour Heights and Eastview Elementaries.

It’s such a perfect break in the middle of the day for kids to check in and chill out. We eat, we craft, we chat, we meditate - it’s a beauty program. And we just opened up a new spot on Mondays. If you or your school are interested - give us a shout and we’ll book you in!

Here we go September…! 👉🏻♥️🧠

Meet Delia. Delia is a life-coach. Delia leads a group coaching series called FLOW. I’ve been lucky enough to be a part of 2 separate FLOW groups in the last few years.

And let’s get one thing straight here. GROUP coaching? Blech. Talking about my emotions in a group of strangers? Thank you, no (or so I thought).

But Delia is an empathetic, intelligent force. And I trusted her. And I was right to trust her.

FLOW 1 & 2 were the most transformative work I’ve ever done.

The people I met in FLOW 1 & 2 are forever soul-friends.

I have a different life now. I am changed in large part because of this coach, and the environment of humour, laughter and deep honesty she creates.

So if you have a little voice inside you wanting ‘different’, ‘more’, ‘other’ but you’re not exactly sure how to get there - HIGHLY recommend joining FLOW 3: The Courage to Matter. It kicks off October 2026.

And if you’d like to talk to me about it privately, let’s chat. It’s worth it. Promise.

Text me the word FLOW and I’ll send you the link to the series! ♥️

The curriculum focuses on enhancing our emotional well-being and resilience.

It’s a greatest hits of what I’ve learned, collected and tested over the last decade that has actually affected positive change in a neat little 6-week in-person package.

The focus is on the science of mindfulness as a tool for health, with meditation and social connection as our corner-stone.

Hey you! Yeah you. What are you doing for yourself this Fall? How are you feeding your brain?! I think you should join Grey MATR: grit for grown-ups.

grey MATR is a practical look into how we use the science of body + brain to boost our mental health and help us achieve a sense of overall well-being. Through the neuro-science of mindfulness and meditation, we explore techniques for regulation and resilience and build a strong, steady foundation to help ride the chaos of life.

Our 6-week workshop will cover:
👉🏻brain science 101 [what meditation does to our brain and why it’s so effective]

👉🏻body science 101 [the gut / brain connection + why the vagus nerve is key]

👉🏻stress-fuel [why stress is good for us and how we can use it as fuel]

👉🏻self-regulation through co-regulation [how to ride the emotional storm + why connection is key]

👉🏻languishing vs flourishing [how to pull ourselves - and others - out of a rut]

👉🏻positive psychology [how to actively cultivate happiness through fun, flow + meaning]

East Van Wisdom School: grey MATR
