Saudade Retreats is Moving
This decision wasn’t easy. We’ve poured our hearts into creating a space where every guest feels cozy, cared for, and welcome.
While we had hoped to launch our wellness retreat centre in Shuniah ON, we never could have imagined the challenges we’d face from some neighbours and Shuniah council, who ultimately denied our applications. Confident in our evidence, we took our case to the Ontario Land Tribunal, which exists to resolve decisions rooted in politics rather than facts.
After five days of hearings and eleven weeks of waiting, we won. But during this time, a different property that met all our dreams without the drama and bad vibes unexpectedly became available.
Why move if we won? Sadly, threats from some in the community make staying here a risk we cannot take.
While we’ll miss this space, this is the start of something new. Stay tuned for what’s next—our commitment to creating a peaceful retreat remains stronger than ever.
This has been the best experience of all time 😘

Saudade wishes you a light and bright holiday season
Remember to take time for you.
There is magic in slowing down🪄
Wishing you a day full of glimmer 💫
Reduce stress naturally
Sama Vritti Pranayama or Box Breath can lower levels of cortisol and help you tap into the parasympathetic nervous system
Do this breath for as little as four rounds or continue for 10 minutes
As you inhale allow you belly to expand and as you exhale allow your belly to fall back towards your spine
Counting helps to keep thoughts at bay
Have a peaceful day
“I don’t have time to meditate”
🙉I hear this all the time, however, mediating can take as little as one minute a day
⏳One minute that you focus on your breath
⏳one minute to become fully present
⏳One minute to commit to your self care
⏱️Can you spare one minute for the most important person in your life?
When your backyard is a playground for adults🌿Stay tuned for 2021 weekend retreat dates
