O R I G I N

Making contact, remembering, or renewing our relationship with something larger than ourselves – whether we call it Spirit, or Nature, or Lineage, or Life – can restore our sense of connection, place, and belonging within the larger cycles around us. Tending this connection can help us remember what’s important, and can sustain us in offering our piece to the whole.

INHABIT Weekend Retreat

 Join me for a weekend retreat filled with movement, inquiry, connection and magic at the beautiful and tranquil Salt Spring Centre of Yoga, BC Canada. We will be nourished with delicious food, spend time on the land welcoming in Spring and explore what it is to INHABIT ourselves, our environments and nature. We will use the 5Rhythms movement practice, circle, writing, ritual and land based ceremony. 

LOCATION

The Salt Spring Centre of Yoga was founded in 1981 by venerated master yogi Baba Hari Dass from India — the Centre is the west coast of Canada’s longest running spiritual and wellness retreat centre. A forested and farmed 69 acres of land weaves together with the stories of those transformed by it and the spirit of selfless service is sewn into every tiny detail. Salt Spring Island is a small island on the West Coast of Canada, situated between Vancouver and Victoria, BC. Arrive via 3 ferry terminals (Victoria, Vancouver, Crofton) or float plane.
