The Conscious Nurse Project is an on-line or in-person, mentored, and research-based workshop created to support nurses. On completion of the program, participants will also receive two 30min mentoring sessions to support the successful implementation of their self-care plans. A foundational course, it will introduce basic concepts of holistic health and holistic self-care.
The Conscious Nurse Project’s on-line education experience supports employers struggling support their staff with traditional methods of professional development. Small group sessions are available on site at Sage River Wellness ( on Sundays only ).
This workshop is designed to bring active awareness to all aspects of being: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. It provides practical ways to integrate individualized self-care that supports nurses’ health and practice. These concepts are also introduced to stimulate curiosity and create a foundation for deeper learning.

Why the Conscious Nurse Project?
In British Columbia, nurses are bound by their Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics to support their physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual health to maintain fitness to practice.

The Canadian Nurses Association Code of Ethics (2017) defines health as “… a state of complete physical, mental (spiritual), and social well-being, not merely the absence of disease” (p.23). This speaks to the importance of holistic self-care.
Holistic approaches to health acknowledge the existence and interactive relationship between all dimensions of the human experience.
The main objective of the Conscious Nurse Project is to support nurses in embodying holistic self-care by
- introducing holistic self-care concepts,
- providing and teaching how to use a holistic self-assessment tool,
- teaching basic holistic self-care practices,
- facilitating development of holistic self-care plans that are individualized and effective.
