Soul Retreat
by the Sea

Next edition: June 15th to 19th, 2025

With the backdrop of the ocean as our inspiration, I am pleased to announce the fifth "Soul Retreat by the Sea," taking place this June 15th to 19th in  Chester, Nova Scotia.  The retreat will be held in the lovely historic village of Chester and we will be staying in a beautiful home built in 1898 located on Chester Basin.  There is nothing quite like June in Nova Scoita, and this retreat is designed to offer some early summer sunshine to warm our inner journey as we create space in our lives to step out of our usual routines and worries and step into the world of a gentle inner journey designed to connect us to a simpler and more light hearted version of ourselves.  This five day, four night retreat offers a unique opportunity to leave behind the cares and demands of daily life and treat ourselves to the simple pleasures of summers of summer by the sea.

Seaside retreat for women

Expanding awareness of oneself and one's life.

This retreat is designed to offer an opportunity slightly different from my usual retreats.  I believe that collectively we have to some extent found our foundations shaken, our minds oversaturated with information and external events, so this retreat is designed with a mending intention in mind. I tend to offer what I myself am yearning for, which this year is warm summer sunshine, June blossoms, and the healing power of ocean air. 

​

The retreat will offer a daily schedule of experiential exercises, guided and solitary meditations, journal writing, nature walks, and periods of silence. In group sessions, participants can focus on a personal goal of their choice.

​

The retreat is held on the outskirts of Chester, an historic village, founded in 1759 and considered to be one of the most beautiful spots in the Maritimes, close to beaches and walking trails and our accommodations are located on a private cove where we can swim, kayak, or simply watch the sunrise from the beautiful veranda.

 

Past retreats have found participants leaving with a sense of feeling lighter, more connected to themselves in a deeply profound way, and with plans to design a more emotionally enriching life.​​

Intro

Personal Work

The retreat offers a daily schedule which includes experiential exercises, both guided and silent meditations, journal writing, walks in nature, and extended periods of silence. During our group sessions, each participant will have the opportunity to focus on whatever personal goal they choose: reconnecting with themselves, mending relationships, learning greater self-care and compassion, exploring how to navigate difficult life transitions, rebalancing daily life, or simply getting some much needed rest.  This retreat is intended to further you along towards the next step in your personal development, with tools to help you achieve your goals, and put your insights into practice once you leave the retreat.

Soul Retreat
by the Sea

June 6-10, 2022

With the backdrop of the ocean as our inspiration, I am pleased to announce the fourth "Soul Retreat by the Sea," taking place June 6th to 10th at the beautiful White Point Beach Resort in Nova Scotia.  This five day, four night retreat offers a unique opportunity to leave behind the cares and demands of daily life. As you enter the driveway of White Point, so begins your personal retreat which will invite you to unwind and begin a period of soulful rejuvenation and discovery.

WHITE POINT RESORT

The ocean just outside your front door.

White Point Beach Resort was once again chosen as the retreat location because of the stunning beauty of the location, situated directly on a one-kilometer beach with a surf that sends one to sleep each night.  Watching the sunrise over the ocean is something not to be missed (at least one morning!) and as we are having this retreat in June, we might just get our toes in the water and be able to take advantage of the many summer activities which were unavailable during previous off-season retreats. I always looked longingly at the boathouse and now on a free afternoon we can try our hand at canoeing or kayaking and there are also bicycles available with really lovely, tree lined paths to ride them on.  

On the first Soul Retreat, I was interested to know if White Point would be all that I was hoping for in a retreat location, and it was. I found that what I most wanted to offer to participants was here: beauty, a sense of the wildness of nature, a feeling of freedom from the everyday (which we often begin to think is who we are), with rare access to the beach just outside our front doors. 

​

What can I say - the ocean is healing.  Waking up and having a coffee sitting in the sun overlooking the ocean, breathing in the salt air, taking long walks on the lovely White Point grounds, allowing ourselves to be fed delicious food which we don’t need to lift a finger to prepare, and a celebratory last evening which will include a wonderful lobster dinner (or alternative) and a bonfire close to the beach.  You will be provided with a safe space and offered tools and guidance that will allow  you to surrender your usual habitual way of being and let nature and the company of other women on a similar journey support your own.

Past retreats have found participants leaving with a sense of feeling lighter, more connected to themselves in a deeply profound way, and with plans to design a more emotionally enriching life.
