A vision

In the vast realm of Nature, spring marks the slow end of dormancy, carried by a wind of grace and blossoming. It is that exhilarating moment when the sap rises, and the tiny shoot finds the courage to emerge from beneath the earth to see the light of day .

Which ones have chosen to find their way into your inner garden ?

If we follow the seasonal cycles, spring is a symbol of the new year: this time is perfect for removing layers that are no longer useful and getting rid of what is outdated in order to create space for what matters to flourish.

This retreat therefore stems from a desire to enter a fresh and happy timeless space to prepare to bloom and offer the body a springboard of vitality before receiving all the light of summer .

A House

It is when we feel at home, at ease, that the soul can truly find its place. Expansion emerges in this space where we find refuge , support, and fellowship. With the horizon to guide us and the coolness of the water to accompany us, this house with a pool on the riverbank, nestled 45 minutes from Montreal, was chosen with love to welcome us on our journey . Shared double rooms and a dormitory are available. The choice is yours: where you wish to anchor yourself.

Limited to 11 people only.

A flow

A great Signature practice blending intensity and asana technique accompanied by introspection to create the inner space to support the will of the heart .

Discover strength and tenderness, fluidity and uprightness in a meaningful class. The session concludes with a powerful Yoga Nidra to deepen the experience. A 90-minute experience to savor.

*Other practices will be offered, but we're keeping some surprises for you!

A Movement

The body is a temple in motion.

When we choose to listen carefully to start a dialogue, it shows us the way forward.

It is therefore through an organic and intuitive immersion that we will follow its rhythm, listening to our essence, supported by the element of air . No dance technique is necessary; simply let yourself be carried by its vibration and practice letting go.

A creative time

When we connect with our hearts, our hands become extensions of our essence . A joyful, communal time will be initiated to cultivate our inner creativity. From the Latin, creāre, to create means to bring into the world!

What is your inner garden preparing to spontaneously emerge from the earth?

a Ritual

Through presence and intention, ordinary moments become sacred.

It is when we make sense through gestures and in communion with something greater that rituals take place.

Rich in symbolism and co-created together, they will support us throughout the retreat.

*Sensitive attention is paid to eco-ritual practices.

A large table

During breaks,

Suzanne will draw inspiration from Ayurveda to offer vegetarian dishes . comforting which support the body.

Without ever neglecting beauty, there will be as much for gustatory ecstasy as for vitality.

Medicinal herbs related to Kapha/Pitta will take care of our systems to promote purification, clarity, and courage.

We all have a responsibility to bring awareness to each of our steps, to create a life that reflects who we are and to share it with love.

I blossom for the duration of a weekend now.
