retreat by the ocean

joy:

The positive energy that radiates from living in our essence.

A feeling of buoyancy. A state of happiness. A source of delight.

There are so many expressions of joy.

Are you ready to find yours?

I have learned that no matter what comes, what our inner critics have to say, or what’s happening in the world, there is joy right here if you can see it.

Joy is often seen as something we earn. If we’ve had a great day, if we achieve, if that thing happens… if if if. Do you deny yourself joy?

What if —

Joy became an everyday part of your life? No matter what.

This is what this retreat is about — letting joy into your life. Connecting to your inner joy. Allowing joy to exist and flourish. Allowing joy to guide you in purpose-led choices and intentional action.

and…

Relax in the sauna on a private dock. Walk in a secluded forest with new and old friends. Experience joy from Indigenous knowledge keepers. Sweat it out on your mat. Look for humpbacks as you savour your coffee. Swim in the ocean. Eat nourishing meals made with love from the land. Gather in community.

No cooking or cleaning or anyone to take care of. Be cared for — this time is for you.

Space is limited to offer a unique, intimate weekend.
