Plant Seeds of Growth

With a retreat theme of new growth, we are passionate about our participants coming into themselves and their sense of spirituality and self awareness as a path to wellness.

Whether you are just getting started on your path or have been working on yourself for several years, you are certain to benefit from the opportunity to pause and take a deep dive into yourself. In a beautiful, luxurious, small group environment, two skilled facilitators will support you in identifying your needs and in planting the seeds of new habits, insights, and awareness that can become growth and transformation.

This retreat is suited for people from all walks of life and professions. All that is required is an open mind, a desire to understand yourself better, and a willingness to share with others in a boutique, confidential, small group setting.

While designed to serve anyone, this retreat opportunity is especially perfect for nurses, teachers, social workers, therapists, caregivers, light workers, empaths, guides, and anyone in the helping profession. Research (see Poslun, 2020) has shown that helping professionals who have strong spiritual and self care practices feel more fulfilled, report lower rates of burnout, and are at a reduced risk of vicarious trauma. Join us!

  • 620 HR Trauma Informed Yoga Teacher

    Louise was first drawn to yoga purely for the physical aspect. It was to mend and strengthen her aching body from constantly physically exerting herself with high intensity sports. What she did not realize at the time was that this would be one of the things that would flip her whole world upside down and put her on this amazing path of self-discovery. In June 2014, she completed her 200 YTT with Julia McCabe in Pemberton BC then a 100 HR Yoga Anatomy - Prevention & Therapy training with Julia in May 2018. She has recently completed her 300 HR Advanced Yoga training with Erin Evans & Lydia Zamorano in Canmore, AB. Through her training she has developed a belief in alignment and integrity in one's practice to ensure a long lasting practice. She understands that there is no one-size-fits-all, and loves to let her spicy personality shine through with thoughtful, fun, and heart filled classes.

  • Private Chef 

    Intuitive Mentor and Integrative Wellness Coach
