2026-01-18 18:30 - 20:00 | The Creative Haven, #208, 118 1st Ave W, Cochrane, Alberta, T4C 2N9, Canada
The Sunday Reset is a program designed to help girls aged 11-13 years to prepare for the busy week ahead. It is an opportunity to slow down, reflect and connect with themselves and others in a supportive environment. Girls are under a lot of pressure these days-through art, mindfulness, and positive psychology activities, participants will build confidence, develop coping tools, and learn to express emotions in healthy ways, setting themselves up for a successful week ahead.
The theme/focus for each week is as follows:
Week 1: Exploring ways to tell our story (Journaling & Self-Expression)
Week 2: Listening to our inner voice (Mind-Body Connection)
Week 3: Tools for Tough Moments (Building Coping Skills)
Week 4: Who am I? What matters to me? (Identity & Values)
Week 5: Celebrating what makes us shine (Character Strengths & Healthy Friendships)
Week 6: Looking Ahead with Confidence (Vision & Goal-Setting)

The Mindset Lab Winter Registration
2026-01-19 - 2026-03-23 | BGC Cochrane & Area, 5th Avenue, Cochrane, Alberta
We’re thrilled to announce a brand-new program at BGC Cochrane & Area: The Mindset Lab!
What is it?
The Mindset Lab is a 9-week brain fitness program where kids ages 5-17 earn Mental Mastery Belts by building the executive function skills they need for school, friendships, and life.
How does it work?
Through high-energy games, movement challenges, and teamwork missions, kids progress from White Belt to Black Belt, not by age, but by mastering real skills like emotional regulation, task initiation, planning, and goal-directed persistence.
Why parents and kids love it:
• No worksheets or sitting still
• Play-based learning that kids actually enjoy
• Neurodivergent-friendly environment
• Skills that reduce daily battles and build independence
Program Details:
• Start Date: Week of January 19, 2026 – various dates & time slots available
• Ages: 5-17 (three age-based pathways)
• Pricing: $200 (1 day/week) or $350 (2 days/week)
• Registration Opens: January 5, 2026

Focus, Fog and Fire Workshop
2026-01-22 13:00 - 15:00 | Bearspaw Lifestyle Centre
2026 is the year women stop “pushing through” and start giving their brains and bodies the support they actually deserve.
If you’ve been living in a haze of brain fog, exhaustion, hormonal chaos, overwhelm, or that feeling of “I know what I should do but I can’t get myself to start.” this workshop is your reset button.
This isn’t a fluffy wellness talk. It’s a science-backed, laugh-out-loud, deeply validating session that blends:
• Executive functioning tools
• Nervous system resets
• Activation strategies
• Movement snacks for clarity and bone health
• Practical habits you can start the same day
You’ll learn exactly why your brain hits the wall, how to cut through fog quickly, and how to build micro habits that keep you sharp, steady, and fired up for the rest of 2026. And because women’s wellness is never just mental or just physical, our session ends with a joyful, low-pressure dance-based movement snack that reminds you what it feels like to be grounded, energized, and connected.
Perfect for women in a season of:
• Perimenopause or hormonal shifts
• Stress, burnout, or decision fatigue
• Parenting overload
• Juggling 400 responsibilities
• Wanting 2026 to feel different from the last five years

Start your year with clarity, strength, laughter, and a plan your brain can actually follow.
