Come join Charlie and Johanne for this amazing deep retreat called: “THE NOURISHED SOUL” from September 26 to 28, 2025.
Have you often wondered how you could make your own sourdough bread, and didn’t dare to do it by yourself? Would you like to learn how to create fresh meals that feel like medicine for your body and spirit?
Have you ever wondered what is the SOUL? Have you noticed how soul is missing in today’s modern culture? Did you know that soul is the glue of the world and it’s absent when people move away from each other? Soul is what links us back together…all it wants is to make life into an act of love, into a deep song, into a creative dance!
Come, come, let’s rekindle SOUL together!

For me, MATURE love is very different than being in love. It’s the practise of making the other, yourself, your friend, your partner, your spouse, your children, your animals, nature, the OBJECT of LOVING ATTENTION. In this sense, love is the act and art of becoming fully vulnerable with another who also commits to do the same with you and in that process something deep develops that teaches the two of you how to love. Everything hinges on relationship. EVERYTHING MATTERS. Being in love is unconscious. The decision to love is conscious and it is perhaps the most important work and it is an ongoing work. Come join me NEXT weekend, June 13 to 15 at Tree Of Life. Come learn a new way of relating with yourself and others.
This workshop is for anyone who longs to improve his or her ways of relating. Cost is $100. A contribution of a vegan meal is appreciated. For more information, visit our website: treeoflifenl.com. To register, please contact Johanne by email: johannerobitaille@live.ca

The first Enlightenment Intensive (EI) of the season is coming up soon, May 22 to 26, 2025. EI’s have this way of bringing us BEYOND anything we have ever experienced. Some of us, have experienced insights, deep emotional clearings, the opening of our hearts. Others find their way straight into the heart of TRUTH itself. When we are the ONE-that ends up knowing the Truth directly, we get in touch with what REALLY matters.

“If you are passionate about growth and going deeply into the reality of your SELF, life and others, you should seriously think about doing one. EI’s provide in a very short time what might take decades to attain.”
Shivam O’Brien of Spirit Horse UK

Cost is $400. This includes accommodations. A contribution of a vegan meal is appreciated..

NATURE is always giving to us berries, mushrooms, medicine from plants, microbes, sun, rain, spring flies who pollinate the flowers, gardeners who wield the shovel to settle the seedlings. All of these are parts of the gift EXCHANGE by which everyone gets what they need.
When I enumerate the gifts I receive, it creates a sense of abundance and an awareness that I have all that I need.
We live in a world that urges us to consume more. Practising GRATITUDE ❤️ puts brakes on hyper consumption, it diminishes our sense of scarcity and want. In that climate of sufficiency, we take only what we NEED, in respect for the generosity of the giver…
We have a few places left for an upcoming retreat with John Foley MAY 9 to 11, entitled: ‘Getting to the heart of what matters’. Come join John! Come experience the heart opening practices of GRATITUDE🩷 and loving kindness. You will love these practices, you will love getting to the heart of what matters!
For more details, visit our website: treeoflifenl.com
To register, please contact John by email at: john.foley@mettastation.ca
