💗This poem was written by Diane, a Reconnect - Retreats participant who attended our March 20-22 retreat. Thank you Diane for sharing your experience in such a unique and beautiful way. Much gratitude to each one of you who were part of this group, thank you for your trust, openness and love we all shared.

This is lengthy- but I hope it brings smiles. I had mentioned to some that I love to write. So I wrote this poem this morning to process the weekend.

🌀Retreat recap

12 women, mostly strangers gathered Friday eve
By Sunday, they were friends, who didn’t want to leave
The dome was our Haven, a safe place to share…..
Our tears, our frustrations and fears were each met with care

The sisterhood of women was felt each and every day
During the community meals, the stillness, and while we are at play
Veronica and Jinny-our leaders on our quest
Supported as all to become our very best
Irine fed our bellies, and others, our souls
Assuring each one of us that we could reach our goals
Puppy/Poppy brought joy as dogs often do
She pranced and leapt with happiness shining through
We ‘did the peacock’ with a feather
It brought so much joy, as we balanced and walked while altogether
We sledded, hot tubbed, some chose art therapy to do
The humble toothpick caused great laughter-who would’ve knew
Sunday came too quickly, as most of us felt
The dome was our place in which we wished we all dwelt
Our goodbyes were said with so much heart
Us wonderful women warriors-for this was our start
Towards a new path filled with wonder and joy
One step at a time, as new skills we employ
To become a fully bloomed flower is our destiny
Lots of time ahead of us to become the best we can be.
Thank you to Veronica, Jinny, and Irine and all the wonderful women.
May our paths cross again should the universe choose
Either way, our memories are deep, and those we won’t lose

Today is now Monday, back to reality we are
It took all my strength not to stuff
Irine in the trunk of my car
She truly was a chef extraordinaire
Keeping her to myself just simply didn’t seem fair
As day-to-day life begins-don’t let old patterns seep in
Remember, we women are strong through thick or thin
May the path ahead be fruitful for each one of us all…
Stay proud, stay strong… and get up if you fall
The ability is within us to carry each day
To face whatever may come and whatever may stay
Thank you to all for a wonderful weekend.
Love, Diane

🌀Are you on a healing journey?
We all carry wounds, myself included and whether consciously or not, we spend much of our lives searching for ways to heal the parts of us that feel broken, to return to wholeness. The journey belongs to those who are committed to walking the path no matter what. And I mean that - no matter what. There will be days when holding your pain feels unbearable and yet this is where healing happens, in the moments we choose not to run.

Healing my own wounded parts allowed me to move more freely, with more calm, more energy and more clarity in life. If you are in the darkest moment of your healing journey right now, know that there is light at the end. Believe in your ability to walk this path.

Believe in the possibility of becoming whole again.

And here is a gentle reminder that healing doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens in relationship, in safety, and in compassion. With others, and with yourself.

🪶Indigenous cultures saw mental illness as an imbalance-not a disorder.
Isolation was never used, like in modern psychology.
They used community, ritual, & nature to heal.
Maybe the 'primitive' ones weren't them, but us.

🌿 This retreat is created for women whose nervous system has been under sustained stress from work, caregiving, emotional labour, life transitions, or simply carrying too much for too long. If you are ready to step away, rest, and return to yourself, this weekend was made for you.

Held over May 1–3, a time long honoured across traditions as the full blossoming of spring, this gathering arrives at a moment when the natural world is in generous, vibrant bloom. It is a seasonal invitation to emerge from whatever has kept you contracted to soften, recalibrate, and remember what it feels like to be well.
When the body remains in a prolonged state of pressure, it doesn’t just feel tired instead it learns to live in protection. Over time, this can show up as anxiety, emotional shutdown, numbness, low motivation, disrupted sleep, or a constant sense of being on edge or quietly disconnected from yourself.
Over the course of the weekend, the body is gently invited out of survival mode and into regulation through:
– nervous system education
– breath and somatic movement
– sound and sensory experiences
– art as a non-verbal form of expression
– and rest, silence, and nature immersion

All experiences are guided by qualified, trauma-informed facilitators who hold the space with care, skill and deep respect for each woman’s pace and boundaries. Nourishment is woven throughout the weekend, with wholesome, thoughtfully prepared meals by a private chef to support your body from the inside out.

We focus on creating a facilitated space free of pressure, expectation, or performance and where the body is invited to soften and regulate at its own pace. This retreat is especially supportive for women who feel emotionally heavy, burned out, anxious, or quietly depleted, and who are ready to engage in gentle, body-based self-exploration within a small, guided group setting.

💫 Step into May with an experience that supports renewal from the inside out – held at the height of spring’s most generous season.

With warmth and care,
Veronica and the team.
