Join us for our Winter Retreat on Sat February 7th from 9:00 am - 4:00pm.
We will start your day by energizing both body and mind and then unwind into the afternoon for some soothing reset and refresh.
The Morning Energy Burn session includes a refreshing snow shoe walk or spin class, invigorating mat Pilates, a motivational talk to ignite your inner fire, and an empowering upper body sculpt session.
Our Midday Reset is a pause and refuel with a delicious, healthy lunch surrounded by nature at its winter wonderland best — the perfect fuel for body and soul.
Afternoon Unwind eases us into the afternoon with a gentle “Happy Hips & Back” stretch session, designed to melt tension and open the body.
The Grand Finale will allow us to let go completely in the 90-minute HOT STONE Relaxation Class — a blissful blend of soothing hot stone restorative techniques, pampering touches, and magical extras that will leave you floating.
True to its name, this is your day to Sweat & Soothe — all within the stunning, tranquil sanctuary of Vicki Tree, nestled deep in the woods of the majestic snowy forest.

Learn to live from love of the self and everything will fall into place.
When we think about it, we realize that what we want any of these things for is because we think we will feel better having them. The secret is to learn to feel better now and skip the middleman.
In this workshop you will learn how to do just that.
We will use the ancient practice of self-inquiry as a tool for getting to know yourself on the deepest level — beyond your ideas of the flawed self — so that life and love flow to you easily.
If you’re tired of trying to be good enough, trying to get life right and have all your ducks in a row, grasping for the gold ring … then this workshop is for you.
Living a life that reflects who you truly are requires knowing who you truly are.
Most of us are living through ideas we adopted about ourselves from the time we were young that are not accurate reflections: we think we are flawed (count the ways!) and so we are on a well-meaning but never-ending self-improvement project. The life we love remains an idea in our minds that is always out there in the future but never here now.
What if it’s not you that needs fixing but how you are seeing? And what if, once you correct this flawed seeing, a life you love is here right now, with what you want coming naturally towards you like a river running to the ocean?
Most of us chase what we think we want in life in order to be happy but we have it backwards: if we actually find complete contentment moment to moment, then the things we want come. We go from, “Once I have the relationship, money, career, health, body, success…then I can be happy,” to “When I am happy, then I will have the ____ …”
“The heart doesn’t move, it just waits. You don’t have to listen to it, but until you do, you are going to hurt …. As you do The Work, you return to the place you never actually moved from, the heart, the sweet centre of the universe. Heart is just another name for the open mind. There is nothing sweeter.” ~Byron Katie
