Join us for a time of fun, adventure and spiritual renewal! This program is an opportunity to connect with the woman within each of us, while sharing with other like-minded women in a beautiful, natural setting on the edge of Algonquin Park. We will be off the grid and out of cell phone range.
Finding your Rhythm… As we walk down the pathways in the forest, we will feel like we are walking back in time. The sound of rhythmic drumming rises through the forest and beckons all to join us around the campfire at the time of the New Moon. As a multitude of stars and constellations shine their ancient light upon us, we realize that we are part of the rhythm. Let your hair down and join us in a festival of sound, dance and celebration.
Nurturing yourself… Rise in the morning to fresh baked muffins, vegetarian quiche and freshly brewed organic coffee. After breakfast, for those who wish to canoe, head to the lakefront for a relaxing morning paddle to the nearby islands. In the afternoon, a session in learning how to use massage and yoga to reach a state of deep relaxation. Enjoy the rest of the afternoon curled up in a lakefront hammock with a favourite book, spending some quiet time with a new friend, or arrange some hands-on time with one of our therapists.
Dreaming… Join Martha, our facilitator, for a shamanic circle and learn about the world of myth, ritual and symbolism that recognizes our timeless connections to spirit. Reconnect with the ancient mythology of womanhood and reclaim your authentic power. Learn how to use symbols, rituals and words to motivate and challenge yourself to live the life you dream.
Playing… Let the child inside out to play. Options include: hiking on one of the Forgotten Trails where we can bring along water colour paint kits to capture the natural sights in a personal way; and working with a partner to create a plaster mask, then painting and decorating to our heart's desire! There's an artist waiting inside each of us. If words are what your crave, participate in simple writing exercises that allow you to express your inner wisdom.
Finally, we will share an amazing closing ritual as we step into the life we dream for ourselves. Throughout the weekend, participants will be invited to share their passions, talents and gifts to inspire a community of women who share all that this wonderful retreat has to offer.
Return to your world refreshed, revitalized, renewed.
