In this retreat we are celebrating and honouring all women in every stage of their lives. To empower and help you all step deeper into your true authentic self, your true nature, divine embodiment. This is a time for you to let go, surrender and tap into your feminine essence and power, your Inner Goddess. Join us for a weekend of wisdom, ceremony, inspiration, exploration, creativity, nature, sisterhood, connection and empowerment. We will move, meditate, dance, hike, draw, paint, play, learn, eat, swim and connect to ourselves, to nature and to each other.

Who is this retreat for?

A Goddess Retreat is a magical experience for any women. Perfect for solo women travellers, friends and family, mothers and daughters, everyone and anyone who is a woman is welcome. Something special and joyful happens when women come together in a positive, supportive space. I have seen so many amazing women blossom and bloom into their true authentic selves. If this is something that sounds intriguing or interesting for you book now, as space is limited.

What can I expect at this retreat?

This retreat is the perfect opportunity to escape the stresses of daily life and find inner peace and tranquility. It will include a unique blend of yoga, yoga nidra, meditation, journaling, oracle card reading, ceremonial cacoa, ritual, sound bath, art, hiking, empowerment, archetype and chakra balancing workshops and time and space to relax, let go and to help you find deeper peace, balance and clarity within yourself. Nestled in the beautiful and tranquil Shawnigan Lake area, our intentional space is perfect for disconnecting from the busy world and reconnecting with your true self. 

Being nourished from the inside and out

This retreat was created to nourish your body, mind and soul from the inside and out. Delicious meals will be catered by our Chef, Laura Gosnell and Lena Watt. Lena will prepare some ayurvedic and local meals for the weekend to help balance Pitta Dosha which is prominent in the summer months. Food is a universal common denominator- no matter who you are, we all need to eat. Yet, the magic happens when we break bread together and it becomes a shared experience. By preparing locally foraged food or ingredients grown by our neighbours, we honour our community, which elevates any meal beyond sustenance. This food philosophy guides Laura’s creativity in the kitchen and the ultimate food pairing for her is sharing delicious fresh food with good people.

The Sisterhood of Empowered Goddess Retreats

As we gather and connect in sisterhood we are building a community of strong, open hearted, aware, mindful, empowered women.

Since I was a little girl I have been called to connect and gather together with other women, in circle, in art, in sport, in nature, in play and in support and love.

I hope to create a safe and welcoming space for ALL women to feel this bond and connection to other likeminded sisters.

This is a space that you can come home to your heart and be your true authentic self.

Why the Empowered Goddess Retreat?

Gathering and connecting with other women is a natural and important part of healing and growth. To be seen, heard and understood by other women instead of in the energy of competition, judgment, envy, guilt or fear.

Let’s release the old, outdated ways of being and the societal conditioning that tells us to play small, that we are not whole as we are, that we are not enough and too much at the same time.

Let’s step deeper into our truth, our whole, embodied, intuitive, unapologetic selves and take our power back.

You are Love
You are Light
You are Beauty
You are Intuitive
You are Nature
You are Whole and Complete
You are Enough
You are the Sun, Moon and all the Cosmos
You are a Maiden, Mother, Witch, Queen, Wise Woman and Crone
You are already what you were seeking
You are an Empowered Goddess

Join me for the Empowered Goddess Retreat.
