InnerSpace Retreat

InnerSpace Retreat: Rooted Ways of Being

In this time of great change, what might we learn from our earth and her stewards? What might we practice so we can live in this time with more intention, joy, and connection? 

On the sacred weekend of the summer solstice and Indigenous People’s Weekend, we welcome you to gather on the traditional and unceded territories of the SENĆOŦEN & Hul'q'umi'num speaking peoples on Salt Spring Island, to feel, listen, move, connect and celebrate.  

Guided by facilitators, wellness practitioners, musicians and land stewards, you will be invited to explore a variety of modalities - yoga, ecstatic dance, sound bath, and ceremony - to support embodied learning and integration. Our host, the Salt Spring Centre of Yoga, provides a grounding space and lovingly prepared lacto-vegetarian meals so we can be immersed in the retreat. The land that will hold us takes place on a regenerative farm, and is surrounded by the protected rainforest of the Salt Spring Conservancy. 

Food: Delicious lacto-vegetarian meals prepared by the karma yogis at the Centre, with ingredients right from their regenerative farm.

Accommodations: A forested campground with tent pads, outdoor showers with hot water, and clean outhouses, that is a three minute walk from the main house where meals are. Alternate arrangements can be made if you would prefer a room at the centre at an additional cost. 

Travel: For those coming from Vancouver, we recommend booking your ferry at least one month in advance. For your arrival, we recommend booking the ferry leaving from Tsawwassan on Friday at 10:25am. And booking the 6:55pm ferry from Long Harbour to Tsawassan. Remember to arrive at least 45 minutes prior to your ferry departure time. 

Community: There is availability for 30 people to attend the retreat. Most will be connected through the community surrounding the organizers / soulful electronic duo Days of Lavender.

Substances: The focus of the retreat will be connecting with each other, the land and the healing modalities offered. The Centre of Yoga asks that any substances not be used on Centre property. This is also to ensure that our facilitators who are licensed professionals, are not liable. The focus of the retreat is remembering that the land, good food, music, community, movement etc. is all medicine.

We acknowledge our privilege to offer this retreat on the traditional and unceded territories of the SENĆOŦEN & Hul'q'umi'num speaking peoples on Salt Spring Island, BC.
