Yoga and Nature Retreat
Happy & Free
Love, Belonging and Connection are the Universal Sources of True Well-Being
Let Go of the Daily Grind, Connect to Yourself, and Renew Your Energy and Joy.
Welcome to your weekend of connection, adventure, and personal growth! Your getaway is located at Northern Edge Algonquin, an incredible luxury eco-resort snuggled up beside Algonquin Park, Ontario. This is a retreat like no other because it’s completely off-grid allowing for a true digital detox (how great is that!) and you can give yourself permission to be fully immersed in your experience.
You'll have a variety of classes with Mandy designed to nurture the seeds of intuition (hear the heart’s voice), improve upon your thoughts, judgments, and actions (clarity of mind), and bring a sense of lightness back to the body.
Alongside your personal renewal, you’ll go on adventures like a moonlit guided canoe paddle (it’s a Full Moon too!) or enjoy a sauna or a swim! When it’s time for our locally sourced meals you’ll be met by Gregor who will explain every dish with incredible passion and dedication, you’ll feel the love in bite (It was a highlight for guests last year!). You can sleep with the fresh forest air and sweet songbirds in a glamping-style cabin or cozy wood cabin situated close to the lake. Get ready for the best sleep of your life!
Let this retreat offer a space for you to restore your emotional and physical well-being, spark the joy of laughter with new friends, and find moments of personal truth.
Oh and eat amazing food too!

What People Are Saying
“ It was enlightening, peaceful, entertaining, and filled with moments of awe. Not to mention the food was fantastic! I so enjoyed the connection I felt and the new friends I made. I wasn’t sure what to expect but I found the whole experience uplifting. (especially after all the covid shutdowns) It filled a much-needed gap in my life and gave me a new way of seeing things and an understanding plus acceptance of my past. (ongoing work in progress ) I loved the wheel we did - for me, it was an apology both to myself and others.
I am so looking forward to another retreat with you this year. "
Cheers, Wendy E Layne
