Guided by 25+ Years of Professional Facilitation
Returning to Your Self
Rooted in nature
Restored within
A weekend of meditation, yoga, journaling, ritual and soulful connection.
May 14–16, 2027
Loon Lake Lodge & Retreat Centre
Maple Ridge, BC
Step out of the everyday and step into yourself. Over this soulful weekend, we’ll blend meditation, gentle yoga, journaling, sacred ritual and intentional personal time, so you return home more grounded, calm and aligned with what truly matters.
Daily Meditation
Guided and instructional sessions that help quiet the mind to build lasting inner calm and deeper awareness.
Mindful Movement (Yoga)
Gentle yoga that meets you where you’re at, body-wise and spirit-wise.
Sacred Drum Journey
A gentle, guided shamanic-style journey led with rhythmic drumming. This experience supports deep connection with yourself, your intuition, and the wisdom of your inner guides, such as spirit animals or ancestral insight, all in a safe, welcoming setting.
Journalling for Reflection
Creative time to reflect, listen inward and express what’s waiting beneath the surface.
Personal Time in Nature
Time for walking, canoeing, swimming or simply being. Your body and soul will thank you.
This retreat is for you if:
✔ You feel overwhelmed or exhausted by daily life
✔ You’re craving depth, not just a break
✔ You want to reconnect with your inner wisdom
✔ You seek mindfulness, clarity and creative expression
✔ You long to feel grounded, calm and present in your body
This retreat may NOT be for you if you:
X Prefer intense workouts over gentle yoga and reflection (this is not a yoga retreat)
X Aren’t into meditation, journaling, or self-reflection
X Need total silence. We embrace silence and group connection
X Want a typical spa experience. This is about ritual and intention
X Are sensitive to scents. We use aromatherapy in some rituals
"My second time here and this journey has been just as magical as last time in a different way. Before I come I do think of the cost but once here there is no price tag that one can put on this experience. I felt very safe, secure and loved here which makes me feel more open to my own vulnerabilities. It doesn’t matter here as it is safe and there is no judgment; rather it is encouraged and embraced whatever our journey and healing looks like." - Jen Davidson

What people are saying:
"If I could rate the venue 'excellent' I would. This is truly a magical environment and I feel so fortunate to have had a weekend here. Very Special!
What I liked most about this retreat is getting to meet so many diverse women and 'real' talk. Loved the meditations and sacred soul journey. Food and all activities were fantastic.
"My biggest take-away was the support and love of my soul sisters, and 'not-me' lesson. It's always such a pleasure to be part of a wonderful group in such an incredible place, and an honour to work with Veracis" Jade McDonald - Womens Retreat
"I enjoyed it all. It was a good balance of meditating vs non-meditating, such as the Bracelet and Journal workshop" Maureen
