Wellness Retreat Enhancements

Make the Most of your Retreat Experience

We are excited to be offering new and improved experiences to make the most of your wellness retreat. Please let us know if you would like to include any extras for your group, as well as any scheduling preferences, at least two weeks prior to your retreat start date.

The Lake and Sauna

Relax and recharge with private access to Stowel Lake and a custom built cedar sauna.

The sauna has a capacity of 8. We recommend dividing your group into 2-4 time slots to enjoy the dock, lake, and sauna.

Stowel Lake is a natural spring fed lake. It is a 10 minute walk* from the retreat area. The lake is beautiful for swimming in the warmer months and for cold immersion in the cooler months.

* The walk to the sauna is on gravel road and grassy paths, with some incline.

$1,000 for 2 x 2h bookings (Total 4 hours)
$33/person assuming a 30 person retreat

Only available once during a retreat.

The teacher must accompany the group to the lake for their booked time.

This offering is not available before breakfast, or from June - mid-September. If you are coming in the summer and want to make this part of your retreat, please reach out to us.
