PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
IIt has been a long-held dream of Alice Toyonaga to host a yoga retreat on one of the Gulf Islands of British Columbia because of its natural beauty and magic. Again and again, the rainy season has brought her back to the most introspective version of herself, reminding her how to soften, restore, and listen.
This is a retreat led by nature, to explore your edges in challenge and movement, in stillness and rest, so that you can return to our own steady rhythms. This retreat is a place for thoughtful humans living very full lives to pause, restore, and resource. A return to yourself, and remembering how.
We’ll use inspiration from what’s around us - the resilience, protection, ancient wisdom and grounding of the earth and fir trees. The liminal space, revelation and softening made possible with the mystery and transformation of fog. The emotional release, cleansing, renewal and growth from the purification and renewal of rain.
WHAT’S INCLUDED

All farm-to-table vegetarian and vegan friendly meals, coffee + tea, communal table for shared meals.

Built in time each day for solo or shared time to meet yourself and others - long nature walks, journaling or reading time, fireside sessions.
