Sacred Somatic Retreat
September 24-27, 2026
A Return to Self
Set within the Lanaudière region of Quebec, this 3-day retreat invites you to a slower rhythm so you may leave our time together feeling truly nourished and rested.
From the moment you arrive, each part of this retreat is designed to gently reconnect you with your body and support your nervous system in a way that honours your unique experience.
Through guided somatic practices, rejuvenating rituals, nourishing meals, immersive nature experiences and more, this retreat offers a return to the essential.
Our Haven for the Weekend
Nestled on the peaceful shores of Lac Boeuf in Saint-Donat, Quebec, our retreat space is a sanctuary designed to help you soften, reconnect and come home to the resting place within. Every detail has been chosen with purpose, creating an atmosphere where you can exhale and be enveloped in deep care. This sanctuary is a part of the experience itself: a peaceful haven where nature, comfort and connection come together to create space for profound presence and renewal.
Throughout our time together, you will have access to spaces that nourish both your body and soul. Unwind in the hot tub, restore in the dry sauna, move and breathe in the heated movement studio and curl up by the fireplace with a journal. During moments of integration, explore the lake by paddleboard or kayak, wander the shoreline or simply let the quiet beauty of the landscape hold you.
We will gather in the beautifully designed communal spaces for nourishing meals and meaningful conversations, dine together in the heated lakeside gazebo and end our evenings unwinding beneath the stars around the fire.
All the Details
-
The Sacred Somatic Retreat offers a pause from everyday life—not just as another weekend away, but as an invitation to really get to know that resting place within. Through daily somatic sessions, we will gently return to this inner refuge. By slowing down and cultivating a deeper relationship with ourselves, we will begin to hear the language of our bodies.
Each day will begin with somatic movement practices that connect us to our internal landscape, breath, and sound. Together, we will gently unwind what we are holding. We will also gather for daily nervous system workshops designed to deepen your understanding of your own unique patterns and responses. Although this is a shared group experience, you will leave with personalized tools for building a more supportive relationship with your own nervous system.
Together, we will explore embodied practices that cultivate an inner sanctuary you can return to long after the retreat has ended. Every element of the weekend has been intentionally woven together to create space for presence, renewal, and vitality to emerge. Our intention is that you leave not only feeling restored, but with a deeper capacity to meet the rhythms of everyday modern life.
-
Our retreat is thoughtfully intimate, with space for up to 8 participants. This allows for deep connection, meaningful conversation and plenty of room to breathe.
The chalet features four beautifully appointed bedrooms.
Accomodations will be in shared rooms with individual beds. We believe there is something sacred about sharing space in this way. From whispered bedtime conversations to gently rising alongside one another, these moments often become some of the most cherished parts of retreats.
-
Each meal is lovingly and intentionally prepared to support your body, mind and spirit throughout our time together.
Our menu is thoughtfully crafted using fresh, whole ingredients that are deeply nourishing. Whether you are gluten-free, vegetarian or vegan, know that all dietary needs will be honoured.
From energizing breakfasts, to grounding lunches and cozy evening dinners, each meal is an opportunity to receive care, replenish your vitality and honour the wisdom of your body.
Our hope is that every meal becomes a sacred pause.
