Back from Africa.....

Hello world!
I am SO excited to write to you right now!
It has been a few weeks since I have returned from our successful Kenyan  launch of our first project of the Global GROOVE Foundationhttp://globalgroovefoundation.com/. Check out our official blog: http://globalgroovefoundation.com/blog/

I am still in awe of what happened in the short time that we were there!  SO many people have asked me how it was and what stuck out and my only response is that is was AMAZING, and that the things that really stuck out were all of the little moments, the small things, that made a HUGE difference!

The Reason I am Alive


Late one night I was getting a lot of work done as I usually do. I was at my computer and saw an add for a poetry contest, with the winner getting chosen by Alicia Keys to be put in a song. This gave me shivers as I was working on our charity, the Global GROOVE Foundation (GGF), which we are launching in Kenya in August and every time I talk about our initiative, Alicia Keys somehow presents, whether it is on the radio or in some other way.

I have been strongly drawn to her since I was a teen struggling with depression, anxiety and an eating disorder.

Do Epic S#*t

Welcome to 2012!!! 
What an amazing beginning it has been for me as I danced on the beach in Playa Del Carmen, Mexico, lost in the music of a top international DJ, only to be ignited by the piercing sunrise to which thousands of people along the miles of white sand took notice and stopped and stared. Being entranced by the outrageous beauty and magnificance of mother nature reminding us that we are one small ant on this beautiful, giant, powerful land mass we call earth.

Vacation Inspiration

As I sit here looking out my window at Toronto’s Lake Ontario I am filled with a sense of peace and happiness. As we are coming to the end of 2011 many visions of the year have been passing through my awareness.

The first day of January this year (1/1/11) I realized how powerful this year was going to be. The year of alignment. Realising how many things have happened this year so that I could realign with who I am and what I came here to do. How many fears I faced and things that had to be let go, cleaned out, and dissolved.

Choosing Happiness


I am so ridiculously excited about all of the epic events happening in the next few days before I leave for Australia!

I want to share my journey of going to Australia because I think it is pretty powerful.
As I am stepping into being a Master Trainer and International Presenter for the GROOVE Method Inc TM I am presenting with many amazing opportunities which I am constantly in awe about. One was to go to Australia and teach in schools as well as a to do a certification and Master classes in November.

Back from Kenya

What an ADVENTURE this past month has been on! I have been in Kenya for most of the month of March and I have so much to share. I will be sharing in snippets throughout the next month or so and will post stories on my blog as well as in my newsletter which you can register for on my websitehttp://www.brookejillian.com

I have tonnes of pictures on my facebook page and a few in this newsletter! If we aren't friends on facebook please add me :)http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=187902026



Kenya was a life affirming, beautiful experience that I would not trade for the world and suggest to ANYONE to make it a possibility to go!

Kenya Dig It!

I just wanted to send one last email before I took off to Kenya for the next 3 weeks!

Take a look at this video of the kids we will be playing and working with! My friend Laura went this summer and fell in LOVE with the women and kids and is returning in April!


I am so excited to embark on this adventure! Many people have been asking me what it is all about and where we are going so I wanted to send you all a quick message to let you know how this trip came about and why I created it!
