Some Sort of Spark Retreats
Somewhere, in the heart of Muskoka, lives a place where the doing stops getting done.
A place with soft light, soft blankets and food built for comfort. A place where you can gaze out over the water and wait for some sort of spark to reignite itself in your body.
If you’ve been searching for a place like this, here’s the pitch:
Cross “self-care” off your to-do list. This is an incoming-energy-only situation. This is restoration in the form of warm scones and loose leaf tea. This is an opportunity to look out at the lake and have that feeling in your spirit that only nature can give.
Of course there will be all the gentle yoga, meditation, reflection, workshops, and food. But there will also be no pressure. No performance or perfection. You don’t have to learn anything. You don’t have to do anything. You could nap in your room all weekend, and no one would bat an eye. (Though we highly recommend not skipping the scones).
Come be with the water, and the soft blankets, and the salt lamps. Come find a cozy place to land so you can remember who you are for a while.
