Wellness Retreats
Immersive healing experiences on Salt Spring Island.
72 Acres of Old-Growth Wilderness
Nestled on the slopes of Mt. Maxwell, the retreat property sits on 72 acres of old-growth Douglas fir, Garry oak meadows, and panoramic ocean views. Cedar-lined trails wind through ancient forest where the air alone feels restorative. It's a place built for slowing down, reconnecting with the land, and doing the kind of deep work that daily life rarely allows.
What a Retreat Looks Like
Each retreat is small by design – no more than 12 people – so that every participant gets genuine attention. Days begin with sunrise yoga on the meadow and close around the wood-fired sauna under the stars. In between, the work goes deep.
- Conscious connected breathwork – guided sessions that move beyond intellectual understanding and into direct nervous system experience. This is some of the most transformative work I facilitate.
- Forest bathing & nature immersion – slow, guided walks through old-growth forest. No destination, no pace to keep. Just presence among trees that have been here for centuries.
- Wood-fired sauna – heat therapy followed by cold plunge. A practice as old as medicine itself, and one of the fastest ways to reset your nervous system and open your body's elimination pathways.
- Farm-to-table meals – fresh, whole-food meals sourced from Salt Spring Island farms and prepared on site. No processed food, no rushed eating. Meals here are part of the healing.
- Sunrise yoga – gentle morning movement to wake the body and quiet the mind before the day's deeper work begins.
Retreats are built around specific health themes – stress recovery, hormonal balance, detoxification, men's work – so the group shares a common intention. That shared focus changes the energy in the room entirely.
