Parks Creek Retreat

06/01/2022

Today we say goodbye to our family home and beloved Parks Creek Retreat.

Before it became the space we shared with so many of you, it was our family home. Two of our girls were conceived and brought home from the hospital here. We celebrated many milestones, holidays and birthdays on this property and we spent countless hours exploring the woods and enjoying the creek.

Over the last 6 years we have welcomed so many wonderful people into this space to relax, connect, disconnect, soak up the beauty of nature, share vows, brainstorm, create life and art, move, heal and explore.

Over the years we have made friends with you, created memories and shared experiences. Playing even a small part of your big life moments; engagements, weddings, birthdays, celebrations of life and healing, has meant the world to us.

To say that we and all of you are going to miss this special place, may be an understatement.

Thank you for your years of support and for loving Parks Creek Retreat (almost) as much as we do!

In case any of you are curious; we bought a farm near Belleville, and are growing our own food and chickens, as well as CBG h**p.

My husband Travis is growing his new excavation and landscaping business which was actually inspired by the gorgeous hardscaping and landscaping he completed at Parks Creek.

I am excited to put more time and effort into my small business Loveleaf Canna Co.] as well as homeschooling our three daughters, Charlie, Frankie and Letty and tending to our new farm.

The girls are loving having a permanent home and room to call their own after years of living season to season in different places. With 100 acres to explore we plan to spend lots of time in nature.

I won’t be posting to this page after today, so if you would like to stay in touch, you can find me over at Loveleaf Canna Co.]

The reality of saying goodbye hasn’t fully set it in yet, but ‘I look to the future, because that’s where I am going to spend the rest of my life’ - the hippie city chick

Last chance! ♡

Are you joining us for our weekend getaway on May 27th-29th? Booking will close on Monday so that we can spend next week preparing food + packages for the appropriate amount of guests.

So now is the chance to jump in + take care of yourself for one weekend. Which you so deserve!

Gentle movement, nature, whole food nutrition (which you don't have to plan or prepare), rest + healing.

We have 2 spots available, so grab a friend and come heal together.

If you have been thinking about attending a retreat at Parks Creek but haven’t had a chance yet, this is literally your last opportunity to do so.

On June 1st Parks Creek Retreat will no longer be our beloved nature escape. While I have faith that the new owners will love her as much as we have, they will not be offering you the chance to love her, as it will be a private residence once again.

I have asked Sophie + Amanda to give her the sweetest farewell during their retreat, which I am sure they will.

Is it fate that a retreat called ‘gather’, with a focus on taking care of our mind, body and soul, and created by two lovely humans will be the last group of people to gather in our space? Absolutely.

I may even have the chance to be there too; relaxing with some much needed pampering, sharing space with my fellow sisters, and giving Parks Creek the farewell she deserves.

This is the first time I have publicly begun to say goodbye and it is breaking my heart to do it. Saying goodbye in person, with others who love the space (almost) as much as I do, will be the greatest gift.

With that said …

Allow Sophie + Amanda to be your guides for this weekend that is all about taking care of yourself. Nestled in the most gorgeous + cozy retreat space, we will explore ways of taking care of our body, mind + soul.

May 27th - May 29th, arriving early on Friday morning, and departing late Sunday afternoon, we cannot wait to pamper you, and give you the care that you so lovingly give to others.

We don’t want to reveal the whole itinerary just yet, but you can expect yoga movement, meditation, hands on workshops, essential oils, and plenty of time to rest or explore on your own.

Your weekend investment is an all inclusive price: a place to sleep, your classes + workshops, and nourishment (food + drinks). Main meals will be prepared for the group, and snacks will always be available throughout the whole weekend.

Accommodation is shared with 4 people per room.

Your individual investment: $799+tax.

The creek (and myself!) have woken from our winter slumber.

I will never get enough of this view.

Welcome spring! 💐 ☀️

Yesterday was the spring equinox, so we celebrated by taking down the Christmas lights + decor and then decorated the front porch with a fresh springtime feel!

We also looked for signs of spring outside and started sprouting some seeds.

How did you celebrate the spring equinox?

This is why we joined the to Ottawa today.

This is why we braved the cold weather to be a part of history today on Parliament Hill.

I cried, I laughed, I danced and I cheered for with our fellow Canadians, Americans and indeed people around the world today.

It is time we take back our freedoms. We should all have the right to choose and we shouldn’t be penalized, demonized or ostracized because we might make different choices.

Let’s leave our children a world where they are free to share their voice, make their own decisions and live in peace.
