The Retreat runs from Thursday Sept 25th (afternoon check-in) to Sunday Sept 28th (1:30 pm checkout), 2025.

It is being held at the Lakehouse Moments Resort - steps from the shores of Francis Lake, in the heart of the Georgian Bluffs, not far from Owen Sound, ON.

This is a personal self-discovery retreat, that is anchored in exploring personal authentic creativity of soul. This is not a heady, lecture-style retreat. Rather, it is an experiential journey that will engage the senses as well as one’s intuition.

We will hold circle and explore ideas. We will meditate to anchor into our sense of self. We will explore our own personal creative freedom. We will play, engage sensory creative expressions. We will craft personal ritual and celebration. And in the midst of all of that activity, we will also gain time for introspection and rest - and if we so choose, some time in Nature.

Exploring personal freedom and authentic expression is meant to be an adventure. This time away will be a little of that soul adventure.

The Retreat’s cost is tiered, based on room accommodations. The cost noted is the all-in (room, taxes, gratuities, and psychotherapy workshop fee) and a $250 deposit is due upon registration. Balance of the retreat fee will be due six weeks prior to the retreat weekend.
