There comes a time when your body, your spirit, your heart—all whisper the same thing:
It’s time to pause.

Not because you’re broken.
Not because you need fixing.
But because you are ready to reconnect to yourself in a deeper way.

This is your invitation to retreat and take a Sacred Pause.

This is a healing retreat for women and non-binary individuals seeking recovery, reflection, and deep inner peace. This is a 4-night, 5-day experience of rest, embodiment, and radical self-care on the land at Stowel Lake Farm—an organic retreat centre on Salt Spring Island, BC (territory of the Hul'qumi'num and SENĆOŦEN speaking peoples).

This is your invitation to slow down, to soften, and to remember that you get to be held, too.

Your retreat experience will be a beautiful journey that will consist of: 

-daily morning and afternoon yoga

-evening circles

-nourishment from the land via gourmet farm to table vegetarian meals

-sound healing journey

-breath work ceremony

You are welcome to participate in as much or as little as you feel called. This is an invitation to practice reverence for and honour your spirit/body/heart and to allow yourself to be held.

Women recovering in ALL areas of their lives will benefit from this immersive experience of radical self-care. 

These recovery retreats are designed for women and non-binary individuals who are in or seeking recovery. Because our definition of recovery is inclusive of all life challenges, this includes recovering from mental health issues such as anxiety and depression, codependency, overworking, grief, loss, self-injurious behavior, chronic illness, disordered eating, process addictions and substance use. Out of compassion and respect for these folks, Sacred Pause retreats are alcohol and drug free. Use of these substances is not permitted while attending our retreats.
