Nectar Yoga Retreat Center, Bowen Island, BC

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Nestled in the heart of Bowen Island, the 2026 Return to the Wild Retreat marries nature with craft for five inspiring days of immersive storytelling and connection.

Return to the Wild goes beyond a typical writing retreat. It offers a full immersion in the land through local wisdom, as well as creating an inclusive, mindful, and inspiring space for writers to elevate their craft and reconnect to their creative spirit through a nature-centered perspective. This retreat is guided by published authors and industry experts.

Over the course of a week, writers will partake in daily nature-based, immersive writing craft circles and faculty talks, designed to inspire and enhance your skill and to (re)kindle your connection with writing and with nature.

Evenings will feature communal gatherings where writers can share their work, discuss ideas, the day, and build lasting connections.
