OM Retreat

August 21st, 22nd & 23rd 2026
15 Minutes SE of Sherwood Park, AB

A Retreat for Your Mind,
Body & Soul

This retreat is an opportunity to step away from the busyness of life and reconnect with yourself in a meaningful way. Through guided experiences, movement, reflection, and time in community, you’ll explore what it feels like to slow down, release stress, and come back to a place of balance.

No prior experience is needed — just an open heart and a willingness to try something new. Whether you’re looking for clarity, connection, or simply a reset, you’ll find space here to breathe, to reflect, and to discover what “home” feels like within yourself.

Come join us for an uplifting and transformative experience that will leave you with a deeper sense of peace, joy, and connection.

A Mind, Body & Soul transformational retreat
that will guide you hOMe.
Home to self, to source, to oneness. Together in ceremony & sacred practice we will raise our collective consciousness & come back to our centre of heart & knowingness. Be prepared for an awe-inspiring experience. One that is sure to create a ripple of unconditional love, joy & peace. It's time to come back to the truth of ourselves as love.

It's time to come hOMe.

A Sacred Weekend of Connection, Healing & Soulful Activation

Last year, brave souls walked barefoot through fire, immersed themselves in the healing energies of Mary Magdalene, and surrendered to the sacred warmth of sauna, cold plunge, and ceremony. Together, we laughed, cried, released, and remembered who we truly are — in nature, in community, and in ourselves.

This year, we return to the land for another powerful experience — one that honors the Sacred Masculine and Divine Feminine within all of us. Through sacred practices, play, and presence, we invite you to connect deeply to your body, your spirit, and each other…

✨ A Weekend of Soulful Connection, Deep Nourishment & Sacred Ceremony ✨

Step into a sacred space where time slows down, and you are invited to simply BE—be with the land, be in community, and be in the stillness of your own heart. This year, we have intentionally created an intimate, spacious container that allows for deeper presence, connection, and restoration.

Feel free to flow with the rhythm of the retreat—join in transformational ceremonies, soulful gatherings, and moments of joyful connection or simply rest, reflect, and soak in the serenity of nature.

🌿 A Few Things to Note:

  • There is a beautiful outdoor shower available for a quick rinse or refresh.

  • Sweet Pea Cafe will be on-site, but we encourage you to bring some light meals and snacks for when the snack shack is closed.

  • You are welcome to bring your own food & drinks. If needed, Sherwood Park is just 10 minutes away for any additional supplies.

This weekend is an invitation to return home to yourself, to Source, and to the sacredness of life itself. 🌿💫

Dreamtime
a sacred surrender

Let Mother Earth cradle you as you drift into the embrace of dreamtime. Imagine yourself tented beneath the stars, enveloped by the ancient wisdom of the land, where the stillness of the night whispers secrets of the cosmos.

The soft lullaby of the wind, the rustling leaves dancing in the moonlight, and the distant calls of nocturnal creatures create a symphony of serenity, guiding you into a state of deep rest and surrender. As you lay beneath the infinite night sky, a canvas of shimmering stardust, a quiet sense of humility and wonder washes over you.

This is more than sleep—it is a return to oneness, a sacred remembering. The earth beneath you, rich with the wisdom of generations past, holds you like a gentle heartbeat, grounding your spirit and soothing your soul. Under the watchful gaze of the ancestors, you dissolve into the rhythm of nature, feeling the pulse of existence weave through you.

Here, in this sacred stillness, you are not just resting—you are being held, being heard, and being home. ✨🌿💫
