FULLY BOOKED
A day to remember how to rest. Overnight options available.
October 23-25, 2026 | Bowser, Vancouver Island, BC | Small Group, 6 Women
With the October 2026 retreat fully booked, plans are in the works for the next one coming in 2027. Submit your interest to learn more once the details are released.
There is a kind of tiredness that sleep does not touch. A heaviness that accumulates when we can't slow down.
This retreat is an invitation to stop moving long enough to feel what rest actually is.
Set in a quiet home near the water in Bowser, BC, Settling Into Rest is a full Saturday of guided rest, gentle movement, nourishing food, and unhurried time. For those who wish to make it a full weekend retreat, Friday and Saturday nights are available, so you can arrive slowly and leave with even more room to breathe.
This is not a productivity retreat. There is nothing to achieve here.
Only space to remember what it feels like to really rest.
