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.

A space to ground, release and renew as summer turns to fall. This retreat is a turning inward and deep reflection through gentle asana of Hatha-Raja, Yin, Pranayama, myth and mantra. With Nourishing meals, walks in the woods and meditations to create grounding, spaciousness and renewal in helping align with the slower, reflective rhythm of autumn.

Take your passion for yoga to beautiful new places. From the mountains to the ocean and everywhere in between, our retreats invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with what matters. Each experience is thoughtfully curated to help you dive inward, to soften into rest, and to release what no longer serves you. We welcome like-minded people from all walks of life, creating a warm space where meaningful conversations, shared laughter, and deep connections naturally unfold. This is your time to explore, replenish, and return home to yourself.

The Rites of the Priestess is a six-day ceremonial immersion held in sacred sisterhood on the wild shores of Bowen Island.

When a woman remembers the ancient rhythms within her, and her ability to be at this threshold, healing begins — not just for herself, but for all she touches.
