Join us on a magical island in Georgian Bay for 3 days to slow down, reset your nervous system, & connect deeply with yourSelf & Nature. Scents of juniper and white pine will rejuvenate your spirit, while the healing energy of quartz crystal embedded in this land will help you release tension and completely let go.
The ALIGN 'mini' is a small-group, introvert-friendly, women-only retreat (max. 4 participants) designed to offer a quiet pause for reflection in a profoundly healing landscape. Private retreats are also available upon request for alternate dates.
