Reconnect and Renew: A Weekend Retreat of Healing and Creativity
From Friday @3pm to Sunday @3pm
Join us for a transformative weekend retreat, where we’ll begin by releasing negative energy with a powerful burning ceremony. Over the course of three days, you’ll embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing through gratitude journaling, creative projects, and mindful practices.
You’ll work with copper to craft a meaningful gratitude journal, learn the art of sourdough baking, and explore meditation techniques to center your mind and soul. This retreat is designed to help you reconnect with your inner self, release past negativity, and embrace a renewed sense of purpose and creativity.
Whether you’re seeking personal growth, relaxation, or simply a creative escape, this weekend will leave you feeling rejuvenated and inspired.
Spaces are limited, so reserve your spot today!
LOCATION
We will be staying in a tucked away property in Luskville, Quebec. It is located in the countryside just a half hour from Ottawa and over two hours from Montreal. There is a stream running behind the property and the house has tons of original character. Our studio/yoga space is separate from the house so there are plenty of places to escape to if you need some alone time. The property even has an outdoor shower if you feel so inclined.
ACCOMMODATIONS/MEALS
Serene and peaceful shared accommodations are provided. Loaded with country charm, there will be an area in the house for relaxing or reading apart from the studio. Please be prepared to share a bed with someone. There are also spots available without accommodations if you live close or would like to stay off campus. Whether you are on or off campus, all meals, snacks and beverages are included with tuition.
TRANSPORTATION
The closest airport is in Ottawa and pick-up can be arranged as long as it is prior to 2:00pm on Friday, May 16th. Please advise when registering that you will be requiring airport pick-up. We will require flight information (once you have it) to try and coordinate pick-up of other guests. Car pooling may also be available depending where you live. Please advise of your interest when registering.
WEATHER
Typical Canadian weather can be unpredictable but layers, a warm jacket and good shoes for walks are always a good idea.
Details for the East Retreat
A schedule/outline will be sent closer to the retreat, but what you can expect at the East retreat is:
WELLNESS TREATMENTS
We will be opening up the retreat with a smudging and a burning ceremony. This will be facilitated by Natalie Fraser, a unique healer, teacher and yoga instructor who draws from many traditions and practices. Depending on the weather she may also join us on Sunday morning to lead a yoga class or a meditation session if it is too cold.
WORKSHOPS
Sourdough Bread Making – Gratitude Journal Making – Metal Work
Most of the projects will be led by artist and hostess Renee Savoie of Mountain View Farm. For this retreat we will be making bread, doing some soul searching and getting creative.

Tanya will be our guest artist and is the owner and creative designer at TM Jewellery. She will be creating a mini forge in a fire pit so we can create some fold formed copper pieces for our journal covers.
