What It Is

Not a group retreat. A weekend made for you.

These are private, personalized retreats in the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island. Each one is created exclusively for one person or one couple. There are no other guests, no shared schedule, and nothing to keep up with.

You stay for the weekend in a simple, private retreat space surrounded by the natural beauty of Vancouver Island. Accommodation is included. It is humble and unfancy, and it is a place to nest in. I come to you to facilitate private healing sessions, ceremony, sound healing, intuitive work, and nature based experiences, so you can rest between them without going anywhere.

It matters that you stay here for the weekend. The space is prepared and ready for the energetic healing we do together, so you can settle in and let yourself be held by it. You nest in where you are, and I come to you.

Behind it are more than thirty years of energetic and spiritual healing practice, alongside my training as a Certified Coach and Counsellor. It is a private spiritual retreat in the truest sense: quiet, personal, and shaped around you.

Choosing

Retreat, intensive, or session?

If you are not sure a whole weekend is right, begin smaller. A private shamanic healing session is ninety minutes. A private healing intensive is about three hours. A retreat is for when you are ready to come away for a while. Write to me and I will help you choose.
