A Weekend Made For You

DatesNovember 20 - 22, 2026
Duration3 Days · 2 Nights
LocationSharbot Lake, ON
FormatWomen Only · Small Group

If you have been craving a few days that are simply, finally, yours, then this is for you. It is a weekend with no agenda, no to-do list, and no one needing anything from you. Instead, it offers the rest and beauty you have been missing, a few new experiences, and the kind of slowing down that most of us never quite let ourselves have. It was made for women who are ready to step away and enjoy themselves again.

Held over November 20 to 22, a threshold time long honoured across traditions as the year begins its turn inward, this gathering arrives when the natural world has released its fullness and settled into stillness. The trees stand bare and unhurried, and the light softens as the days grow short, so that the season itself seems to give you permission to do the same. It is an invitation to stop holding, to soften and recalibrate, and to remember what it feels like to breathe more deeply, to move through your days more at ease, and to feel fully, unmistakably alive.

Over the course of the weekend, the body is gently invited out of survival mode and into regulation through nervous system and psycho-somatic education, breath and somatic movement, sound and sensory experiences, art as a form of expression, the quiet support of community, and generous stretches of rest, silence, and time outdoors as the season settles.

“Give yourself one of the best gifts ever! I have participated in many retreats but this was by far the most amazing. Nothing better than a group of kind hearted women, journeying together, led by gifted, healing facilitators.”

— Brenda J.R.

“Highly recommend! I went alone and it was the best decision. The facilitators are wonderful. And, well, you deserve to love yourself.”

— Shaye

“This is my fourth retreat and each one has been special and unique. I cannot say enough about the retreat space itself, it is so beautiful. I always leave the retreats with new insights and love for the women who joined and shared. I cannot thank Veronica, Jinny and Irene enough. Xoxoxo”

— Retreat Participant

“Just simply a big thank you for a well thought out and loving experience which I would be happy to do again.”

— Michelle Francis

“Just simply a big thank you for a well thought out and loving experience which I have been working hard on following my gut for a long time, and this retreat helped me get even more in tune and believe fully in trusting myself and leading with my heart over my head. The women that guided us, as well as the other women there, all had a huge impact on my experience and made it what it was. I could not be more grateful for this incredible weekend. Great things are to come.”

— Amanda Thomas

“This was my second retreat and I have already signed up for my third. I love everything about the retreat. It is so well organized and a lot of thought and love is put into it. The support and positive feminine energy is amazing. It is my way to reset so I can continue to help others heal.”

— Jennifer K.

“This retreat was so much more than I expected! To have such an amazing group of women supporting each other as we are all on our own journey is magical! I feel like I have a weight lifted off my shoulders.”

— Mindy Wyatt

“Great opportunity to help reboot your wellbeing with women who care about you, and with other like minded women who will not judge.”

— Sandra M.

“A great opportunity to try new experiences and take a much needed rest.”

— Lisa

“This is the first time I have walked away from a retreat and actually felt something shift. It is also the first time I have signed up for a second retreat with the same facilitators. Thank you.”

— Michelle

“This retreat and our leaders have made me feel so loved and supported. The information you shared with us was powerful, but even more powerful was the sense of being heard and understood and knowing that I matter. I learned that maybe my cancer diagnosis and my lung removal was not a life sentence but a second chance to live and breath properly for the first time in years. That meant more to me than I could have imagined, thank you just does not seem to be enough. Nicoletta and Veronica will always hold a special place in my heart and the connections made with the other women will live with me forever.”

— Lori

“I felt a sense of community. There was no judgment, lots of energy, lots of support. Never felt out a place. Felt very welcome from the moment I arrived.”

— Barbara
