This if for you if…

A new phase is beginning - role shift, kids launched, semi-retirement, major life change.

You want a quiet long weekend to intentionally slow down and just be.

You value plain-spoken guidance, small groups, and discretion.

You’re curious about deeper inner work, prepared in advance, integrated with care.

What the session is like.

Arrive in Point au Baril or Grand Bend into unhurried days containing:

  • Gentle guided mindfulness sessions including meditation, yoga, breathwork, movement, and art therapy (Point au Baril only).

  • Cold & hot therapy.

  • Quiet windows to walk along the beach, read, nap, or simply reflect.

  • Small group conversations held with steadiness and discretion - including a mid-week session for deeper inner work. 

With every detail cared for from departure to return, you’re free to simply be.

Small team. Calm guidance.

Across the week, a small team supports you: a meditation & yoga guide, a breathwork & mindful movement lead, a restorative energy work practitioner, and facilitators for intimate, confidential circles - including guides trained in deeper inner work and integration. Michael is your primary host and point of contact throughout. We keep the language simple and the pace unhurried, with optional 1:1 check-ins and room to choose your level of participation.

FAQs

What does “deeper inner work” mean? It’s a single day designed for opening and inward attention - a safe, quiet setting, experienced facilitation, and time afterward to integrate what arises. We outline the flow during your intro call and 1:1 preparation.

Why do I need to meet with my guide four times and as a group? Because this is a carefully held week, it’s helpful to arrive with open intentions whatever they may be. The four short 1:1 conversations make the experience fit you and ensure the week unfolds calmly and safely. The group sessions ensures you don’t arrive as strangers.

Do you serve alcohol? No. For everyone’s comfort and depth of experience, we ask that alcohol and recreational cannabis be avoided throughout the trip. Thanks for helping us keep the space clear and steady.

“Be ready to reconnect with who you truly are. I hadn’t realized how long I’d been neglecting myself until I arrived here. The space, the silence, the care - it all brought me back to myself.”
