Your Hosts
Lea and Dana have been working together for over nine years. Throughout the years what has remained steady is our intention to support healing, to open receptivity to nurturing, and to reawaken the peace and love that’s inherently present in all living beings.
Our mission is to offer you the most healing, restorative experience that you can imagine.
Come as you are, let us pamper you will beautiful yoga practices, incredible food, gorgeous natural surroundings, and the time and space to rest deeply in every moment of the weekend.
Your Retreat Weekend
We’ll meet for a opening practice at 5pm on Friday afternoon once you settle in. Then we’ll gather for an incredible farm-to-table vegetarian meal, followed by a relaxing evening in the cozy living room.
Saturday morning will start with a light breakfast, a morning practice in the lakefront studio, followed by a nourishing brunch.
Afterwards, you can enjoy more than 25 kilometres of beautiful forest, wetland and lakefront trails and commune with the diverse creatures that make this land home. Heat up in the sauna, or perhaps you’d rather or cozy up with a book by the fire. This is a time to truly take care of you!
The afternoon will bring a soothing restora-yin and massage practice, and we’ll enjoy another delicious meal before embarking on a Nidra and sound journey for deep healing.
Sunday will start with a morning practice and although we check out of the building at 12pm, we’re welcome to enjoy the property for the afternoon.

Retreats are a huge investment, but what you are truly investing in is YOU.

Especially during the winter season...it's a time to move slower, breathe deeper, dream, rest, meditate, and soak in the coziness of the season.
There will never be pressure to show up to anything, truly we want you to take what feels right for YOUR experience, however that presents itself each day.
