Peace is Power Retreat
Inspired by the four sacred directions and elements - tap into your inner strength and power within, moving into a place of calmness, peace and confidence.
UCLUELET – BRITISH COLUMBIA - CANADA
October 23-26, 2025
Do you feel like you are always holding it all together - for everyone else. Always giving, always thinking, always doing. And somewhere along the way, you forgot what it feels like to feel like you - whatever that might be. You forgot that you also need nourishment. When you don’t protect your peace, everything else becomes harder. You lose yourself in the noise, the pace, the pressure to keep going.
But peace still lives within you.
Even when life feels overwhelming, even when you feel anxious, tired, out of alignment - it’s there, deep within, waiting for you. This retreat isn’t about fixing anything. It’s about remembering that you can come home to yourself. That you’re allowed to rest, to be held, to soften. That your inner peace is always available to you, and it’s one of your greatest sources of strength. Peace is Power is your space to reconnect - to that calm, that clarity, that quiet strength that’s been there all along, waiting for you to return.
The West Coast of British Columbia is magical. The fresh ocean air, the calming sounds of the waves crashing on the rocks, the long expansive beaches that never seem to end and the lush rainforest with its giant welcoming trees - this is what is in store for you each day. As you wake up each morning you see the ocean or the rainforest, not your computer, phone or messy house. You take a big nourishing breath - a sigh of relief. You feel calmer and more at ease than you have in a long time. You relish in the fact that today is a day just for you. No doing for others, no doing for the sake of doing - just full nourishment for the parts of you the need it most - mind, body, heart and soul.
Instead of starting each day doing for others or thinking about your on going to-do list, you will start each day just for YOU. Imagine a place where you can give back to yourself for a moment. Each morning we will come together to celebrate one of the four elements and directions, through a thoughtful tea and breathwork ceremony - using the power that is mother nature to support us. Perhaps it’s a fiery Kundalini breathwork with a heart opening cacao (fire element), or a calming lotus breathe with lotus tea (water). Each practice soothing your nervous system and welcoming you back home in your body.
As each day passes you feel held by the quiet beauty of nature and the presence of others who truly get it - something inside begins to soften. You take a breath, a real one, maybe for the first time in a while. The noise, the weight you’ve been carrying, slowly starts to lift. And in the stillness, you begin to remember: who you are beneath the overwhelm, the giving, the holding-it-all-together. Rooted in your body, nourished by the earth, and supported in gentle connection, you feel a calm strength rise within you. This is your peace. Not a fleeting moment, but a truth that’s always been there , quietly waiting for you to return. And you feel comforted knowing that through it all, that no matter what might be going on in your life, you have this beautiful place to come back to within yourself.
