Thank You Kindly
Soul Sisters Summer Solstice
Yoga & Wellness Retreat
About the Retreat
Spending time on Tamarac Island and the Northern Bruce Peninsula is a special experience in and of itself. In addition to this beautiful setting, you can expect to connect with yourself, nature, your surroundings and your soul sisters in a deeper, more meaningful way. We will slow down to allow ourselves time to really see and feel and take in all that is being revealed.
The Summer Solstice offers us not only the most daylight of the year, but an opportunity to reflect on its significance and recognize the light, love and change happening all around us. You will enjoy time to journal, sit in silent reflection, play, explore, and of course, practice Yoga. At this all inclusive retreat, you will be treated to amazing, healthy, nourishing and delicious food and beverages by Chef Dan. Most of the cuisine is vegetarian; however, there will be vegan and non-veg options. You’re in for a food experience that perfectly aligns with our wellness philosophy.
We are so excited to share this weekend of light, love and connection with you.
