AUTUMN EVENTS & RETREATS
THE SEASON 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 ☀️
the quiet within
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 Smithers, British Columbia, at the wonderful Last Dollar Ranch on the Bulkley River.
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. Travel to and from the retreat is not included.
Surrounded by nature, open skies, mountains, riverfront, 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.

ABOUT YOUR FACILITATORS
MEET JANIE,RAYA & MELODY
Janie Pelletier
As a Certified Yoga Teacher & Nutrition Coach my mission is to guide people understanding how their physical and emotional digestions are interconnected. The gut-brain connection is a well known concept but understanding how it relates to our daily life may become a complex quest of ups and downs. The path towards healing may require introspection, and guidance through this journey may be highly beneficial.
Mindfulness practice, breathing techniques, yoga, and time in nature are modalities I use to better understand your unique needs and tailor an action plan suited for you.
I have no interest in offering you a quick fix or recommend a diet that would make you believe that I know better than you what your body and soul truly need.
What I thrive for is to share important information and strategies with you on how to find what works best for you. I will share valuable, scientific-based information and my personal experience. In order to be an active contributor to your healing protocol, you are invited to question and trust your intuition in order for you to open your mind and empower yourself to make lasting sustainable changes... that is the transformation.
Raya Karin
Raya Karin of Raya’s Wellness and Retreats is inspired by the seasons and elements of nature in her work. Creating a place to Relax, Recharge, Refresh, Reconnect, and Replenish through her deep intuition, vast experience, passion for helping others see their light, child-like sense of wonder, curiosity, and playful nature there is always room for a grad adventure, and a beautiful journey through mind, body and spirit work.
Raya loves to grab her camera and take people on a journey through nature as her co-therapist and capture your journey of healing and growth from behind the lens and bring it to life!
Raya is anything but traditional, she walks her path, dances to her tune, and facilitates in the most real, raw and authentic way
Melody Saul
Meet Melody. Melody has been studying and practicing Qigong for the last couple of years and holds a Qigong Teacher certification. Qigong is a part of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is a practice of aligning breath with slow, fluid movement and body awareness. It is sometimes described as a "moving meditation". Qigong's movements and flows mimic nature to bring a balance of Qi (life force energy) to the body for health and vitality.
