AUTUMN EVENTS & RETREATS
THE SEASON OF LETTING GOUTY OF LETTING GO
Autumn: This is a period of reflection and letting go. Nature shows us how beautiful it is to let go as the leaves turn the beautiful vibrant colors of orange, red, and yellow. Autumn encourages us to take time to reflect on our lives, giving us permission to let go of anything that no longer serves us. This beautiful season teaches us the importance of release and letting go, giving us a reminder that transformation and change require us to shed the layers of our old self. It’s a time of slowing down and going within, of harvesting and enjoying the fruits of our labor.

A Retreat for Release, Renewal & Transformation ☀️
COME HOME TO YOURSELF.
Life asks so much of us.
You may be caring for aging parents, supporting children or grandchildren, navigating career demands, managing relationships, healing from loss, or simply carrying the invisible weight of holding everything together.
Over time, the constant doing can leave you feeling exhausted, disconnected, overwhelmed, and unsure of what you need next.
If you've been longing for space to breathe, reflect, rest, and reconnect with yourself, this retreat was created for you.
Join us for four transformative days nestled in the breathtaking Purcell Mountains of British Columbia at the stunning House of the Friesians in Invermere, BC.
This all-inclusive retreat includes accommodations, meals, retreat experiences, and connection-filled days designed to help you slow down and reconnect. Shared accommodations are available, with a limited number of private rooms for those seeking additional solitude and comfort. Travel to and from the retreat is not included.
Surrounded by nature, open skies, majestic horses, and a community of like-minded women, you'll be invited to step away from daily responsibilities and return to the wisdom, strength, and peace that already lives within you.
This is more than a retreat.
It is an opportunity to pause.
To listen.
To heal.
To remember who you are beneath all the roles you've been carrying.
