❓One of the most common questions we get about Reconnect - Wellness Retreats is: What food do you offer?

When you’re doing deep somatic work especially trauma release the body is busy.
Your nervous system is shifting gears, muscles are letting go of long-held tension, and your energy is reorganizing.
That process takes a lot from you physically, mentally, and emotionally.

🍛Food becomes more than just a meal. It’s part of the integration process.

At Reconnect Retreats we focus on:
🥬 Leafy greens to provide magnesium and support your nervous system.
🍚 Whole grains like quinoa and buckwheat for steady energy and B-vitamins.
🌰 Healthy fats from seeds, nuts, and omega-rich sources to calm inflammation and nourish the brain.
🫘Protein from both plant and animal sources to help repair and sustain the body.
🍎Seasonal vegetables and fruits for antioxidants and immune support.
🧄 Fermented foods to nurture the gut–brain connection.

🌮 We offer wholesome, balanced meals and it doesn’t matter if you’re vegan, vegetarian, or prefer animal protein, all are welcome at our table!

🫶We also take care to accommodate food allergies and sensitivities, so everyone can feel nourished and safe.

Our private chef Irene works closely with Veronica to create a delicious, nourishing menu that supports your retreat journey. Irene is not only a skilled cook but also a trauma-informed social worker, bringing extra care and understanding to every plate she serves.

Nourishing you with a delicious menu is another way we show care.♥️

Join us October 23–27 for the 5-day Reconnect Retreat at Sharbot Lake, ON. Atrauma-informed experience where science meets deep inner work.

Rooted in somatic healing and the neurobiology of safety and connection, this retreat invites women to shift from performative living to embodied truth from suppression to self-attunement.

🫂 Humans are biologically wired for connection and it plays a critical role in our ability to heal. Polyvagal Theory, developed by Dr. Stephen Porges, shows that the nervous system continuously scans for cues of safety. When we experience safe connection through eye contact, a calm voice, or supportive touch, the body can move out of survival responses and into a state where healing and learning become possible.

This is called co-regulation, and it is one of the most effective ways to restore balance after stress or trauma.
At our July retreat, this was visible in simple, powerful moments: women holding hands, sharing hugs, leaning on one another, or placing a hand over the heart or belly where emotion was felt. These were not just comforting gestures. They were direct signals of safety that helped the nervous system settle.

Research consistently links supportive relationships with better health outcomes. Studies have shown that connection can reduce cortisol, lower inflammation, and improve emotional regulation (for example, work by James Coan and colleagues on supportive touch in 2006, and by Naomi Eisenberger and Steve Cole on social connection and inflammation in 2012). Even placing your own hand over your chest can cue the brain that you are safe.

Many of us were taught to push through on our own. The evidence is clear that healing is relational.

This resonates with you? ✨
You are warmly invited to our immersive five-day retreat on October 23 to 27 at Sharbot Lake. It is a trauma-informed space to slow down, reconnect with your body, and be supported in a circle of women through guided practices, education, and restorative rest. Come experience what safe connection can make possible.

Part 2 - This yoga teacher training stretched me in ways I didn’t expect.

The changes my body and mind went through were real and definitely not easy. Looking back, I realize how much I asked of myself.

* Waking up at 5:30 am.
* Practicing yoga for hours in the dry desert heat.
* Changing my entire diet.
* Sharing a room for two weeks with someone I had never met.
* Living off-grid with only one day to visit the city and feel a bit of everyday life again.
* Missing my kids more than I can even describe.
* Learning a completely new language - the language of yoga, with its alignment cues, Sanskrit names, and subtle details that speak to the body in a whole new way.
* Moving for 3-6 hours a day, especially during that first intense week.
* Planning and leading five full yoga flows, something I had never done before.
* Facing fears and trying postures that once felt completely out of reach, like headstands and shoulder stands.

There were moments when I questioned why I was here. When my body ached, when my mind spiraled, and when the pull of home felt so strong.

But I kept showing up, sometimes unsure, tired or frustrated but open. Open to the discomfort, to learning, to doing something completely unfamiliar.

And that made all the difference.

What felt impossible two weeks ago now feels like part of me. I’ll carry this experience with me, into my practice, into my teaching, and into the next version of myself.

Taking a leap of faith to a post on a wellness facebook group is something I normally don’t do. BUT! This was more than just a post, it was a yoga teacher training. Something I have been contemplating for a while.

The training was the next day in California which meant that I had to act fast! I had a few minutes to decide, the monkey mind doubted what the heart already chose.

I bought my ticket, packed my bags and was on my way to the airport 🛫

Landed in Palm Springs, took an Uber to Kootenay Yoga School and I still up until today process the fact how everything aligned. ✨

I normally do a thorough research on who is teaching, background, reviews and in this case I just had limited time to do all that.

And that’s my life motto -trust your heart, trust the timing, trust the people meant to guide you will show up when you’re ready.

I’ll share more about this journey in my next posts…
