Welcome to our seasonal acupuncture wellness retreat, where we will explore the Metal element of Autumn and how to holistically attune to the season to optimize our vitality and harmonize our relationship with the natural rhythms and cycles of our beautiful Earth.

Savour Nourishing, Seasonal Cuisine

Be nourished by our daily offerings for Chef Leslie, who will create delicious, whole-food, seasonally-based, vegetarian, and vegan meals.
Prepared with the season's harmonizing qualities, these nourishing dishes are not only delightful to the palate (everybody always wants Leslie's recipes) but also amplify overall wellness and harmony with nature.
Magical elixirs and seasonal herbal teas and infusions will quench and nourish your spirit and nutrient levels.
During Sonja's discussions on seasonal alignment, we will discuss types of food and cooking styles to use during the summer season.

Morning Rituals for Inner Harmony

Start each day in nature with qi gong and meditation. These practices are ideal for aligning body, breath, and spirit and setting a tone of tranquillity and balance for the day ahead.

Personalized Healing Treatments

Relax and rejuvenate with an included group acupuncture session with a sound journey to help you attune to the season and address your wellness needs. For those desiring further exploration of well-being, we offer limited spots for an additional zen shiatsu or Thai yoga massage for an additional charge (these are limited and depend on time availability).

River & Lake Nature Time

For a few hours on either Saturday or Sunday, we will make a trip to a magical forest and lake, one of our favourite places to commune with nature; we will create an Autumn mandala, give our offerings of letting go to the lake and meditate on the big quartz ribboned rocks.

Seasonal Alignment Talks and Nature Connection

Engage in insightful seasonal alignment talks, where you'll learn how to harmonize your lifestyle with the rhythms of nature. This includes nutrition, movement, and a discussion on grief, letting go (stages in life, relationships, experiences, or loss of a loved one), and making room to feel safe to let the unknown and a new way forward. These sessions are designed to deepen your understanding of seasonal natural cycles from a Daoist 5ctive elements perspective and their impact on your well-being.

The Art of Letting GoRetreat Metal Phase,
