“Synchronicity is not coincidence. It is the convergence of Will, Intention and Experience…”
Neale Donald Walsch
This season, we’re dancing with the magic of synchronicity—those delightful winks from the universe that whisper we’re on the right path. As Neale Donald Walsch reminds us, “Synchronicity is not coincidence. It is the convergence of Will, Intention, and Experience.”
In a world swirling with chaos, these sparkling glimmers of connection guide us forward, hand in hand, as a community. Staying grounded and offering a coherent, stable energy to ourselves and our entourage is the greatest gift we can offer, we must provide. Edu-K is probably one of the simplest and most powerful tools to accomplish this on a daily basis.
To support integrating synchronicity and resilience into your own life, Brain Gym® Canada is continuously looking for news ways to promote connection, sharing, learning and growth.
This month we have launched the new International and Student member Google Classroom, allowing all of our members to access Meet-Up recordings and other ressources. Amy Bonaduce-Gardner’s profoud May 15th workshop gave us much food for thougt and practice! We had a great turnout, thank you all for your participation.
Please note that the next Meet-Up will be Saturday June 21st, with Token Plasket, more details in the ‘Share’ section of the newsletter….
So, let’s twirl into togetherness, keep our eyes peeled for cosmic nudges, and move forward with a skip and a hop, stronger together!

New Google Classroom for International & Student Members
As discussed at our last board meeting, it seemed like our International and Student members would benefit from accessing Meet-Up recordings and various other features from the Professional Members Classroom. Although not all ressources are being made available; our goal was to provide some useful support to all of our members.
All International and Student members received their invitation to the classroom May 21st, if you did not please contact info@braingymcanada.ca. Also please keep in mind that to benefit from all the classroom features it is best to join with a gmail address. You can create one here for free:

We welcome your feedback on how we may improve this new connection further. Happy exploring!
Brain Gym® Buddies Spring 2025
We proposed resuming on-line pairing of balance buddies for the month of May and June, inviting Brain Gym® Canada members to balance, play, learn, connect, and grow. Since it seems like this is not a good time to plan this activity, we will postpone until the fall.

Our next Meet-Up will take place Saturday June 21st, 2025 at 11am Mountain, 1pm Eastern, 2 pm Atlantic
The meetup animated by Token Plaskett is designed to introduce her upcoming fall workshop: All In Your Element: Your Calm Link: “Tools to Ease Stress, Any Place, Any Time-For all people, all moments.”
Stress comes. We can learn to shift it. A path from strain to peace—move, see, flow to calm. Your tool, any time, any place. Begins here.
Token Plaskett-She is an instructor of Brain Gym®, Touch for Health, and Instructor/Owner of Learningmoves. For years she has been disputing the concept that life must always be difficult. She grew up in the Bioenergetic world, her mother a big player in the Edu-K world and her father being a chiropractor. With all these tools at her disposal, she was frustrated that when stressed out, she could simply no longer access her tools. So, she decided to create and share these simple techniques that you can take with you anywhere and access anytime. They become yours.
As always, no need to sign up, simply use the zoom link below to join us:

To follow up and deepen the introduction to body mapping during the April Meet-Up, Amy Bonaduce-Gardner, a nervous system coach, holistic biomechanics practitioner, and the founder of Prism Movement Studio – presented: Flow Within: Exploring the Intersection of Biomechanics and Nervous System Dynamics, on May 15th, 2025.
This time focusing on the connection between the ASIS (Anterior Superior Iliac Spine) and the outer edge of the patella. Outlining the basic principles of the Fajardo Method of Holistic Biomechanics™ , Amy highlighted the connection between stress and the autonomic nervous system, specifically the impact on muscle tension, space within the joints and connective fascia tissue.
She defined Body Mapping as putting your attention on two points of location, allowing sensation of something different, something new we may not have been aware of before, thereby updated the body map the brain has recorded, so we may choose a more appropriate response. Through very gentle body awareness cues and movements participants redefined the connection between these two points and noticed changes in posture and mobility. We will certainly invite Amy back for more!
