Summer Solstice Retreat: From Hustle to Harmony

NUK TESSLI WILDERNESS LODGE – WHITTON LAKE – BRITISH COLUMBIA
(1.5 hours East of Bella Coola and about 3.5 hours West of Williams Lake)

June 21-25, 2024

Finding balance and inner peace through nourishment in nature

Breathwork, yoga, yoga nidra, a summer solstice celebration, nature (hiking, canoeing), nourishing food, rest, relaxation, reflection, a community of like-minded people and so much more.
(+ a welcome gift and post retreat support).

This is a family run, private wilderness lodge located on Whitton Lake, BC that is only accessible by a private float plane.  Located in the Coastal Mountains, surrounded by blue lakes, vast forests, massive mountains, beautiful glaciers, colorful flowers and wildlife – it is the ultimate experience to shift from our action filled lives to nourishing our mind, body, heart and soul.  

Ask yourself…

When did you last intentionally slow down, immerse yourself in nature, and reconnect with your inner self?

Does the fast pace of your life leave you with little time for personal reflection and self-care?

Are you experiencing feelings of stress and anxiety, unsure of how to navigate away from them?

Do you prioritize busyness over self-care, finding yourself feeling increasingly fatigued, anxious, and unproductive?

Do you frequently find yourself trapped in your thoughts, disconnected from your body's signals and needs?

Are you ready to dedicate time to reconnecting with yourself so you can feel more relaxed, calm and at peace?

Who is this retreat for?

This is for you if you are looking to immerse yourself and connect with nature in a remote part of British Columbia – away from any neighbors or distractions.  It is for you if you are seeking to nurture your mind, body, heart and soul with daily activities such as yoga, breathwork, yoga nidra, being in the outdoors (hiking, canoeing), nourishing meals and connecting with a community of like-minded people.  It is for you if you wish to escape the hustle and action filled (and sometimes anxious and/or stress filled) days of daily life and instead slow down and invite a calmer, more relaxing and rejuvenating pace into your life so you can return home feeling refreshed, renewed and revitalized.  Itinerary outlined below. 

In a world that can sometimes glorify busyness, it's easy to lose sight of the importance of nourishing our body, mind, heart and soul.  Simply making the excuse that we are too busy – when this is often when we need to slow down the most.  Amidst the tranquil backdrop of our retreat, you'll discover the power of intentional rest and rejuvenation. Through gentle guidance and immersive experiences, we'll explore practices that invite you to release the grip of constant doing, and embrace the nourishment of activities that remind you to simply be here in the now – enabling you to reconnect with yourself on a deeper level. 

 Through breathwork, yoga, meditation, and activities in nature, you'll learn to reconnect with the innate wisdom that lies within you, honor the rhythms of your own energy, and find balance and peace between activity and stillness.  There will be a blend of organized activities and free time – allowing you to feel both guided and supported and enjoy quiet solo moments of self-reflection.  It is in this space where you can gain clarity on what truly matters and how you can align your actions with your deepest intentions.

Throughout the retreat, you'll be supported by a community of like-minded individuals on their own journeys of self-discovery and renewal. Together, we'll create a nurturing environment where authenticity is celebrated, and vulnerability is met with compassion.

 As the sun sets on each day, feel yourself drawn closer to the essence of who you are - a radiant being deserving of love, care, and nourishment. Embrace this opportunity to shift from the ongoing hustle of daily life, to the gentle art of nourishing yourself from within.  Join us on this journey of self-discovery, where the path to true fulfillment begins with the simple act of slowing down and tending to your own well-being, bringing focus to the most important relationship of all – the one you have with yourself.
