Work & Wellness Retreat
Join us at Smith Lake Farm on Vancouver Island for our Work & Wellness Retreat from June 1st – 4th.
Infuse your joy and wellbeing into work that is meaningful to you by cultivating focus, inspiration and self-compassion.
Often we view work and our spiritual or self-care practices separately-we need to shift from a Work-Life balance to a Life-Work balance.
Work and wellness practices are not separate from each other.
When you weave them together-you create harmony that is aligned with your purpose.
Integrating wellness practices into your work can be transformative to your business.
Join us for 4 days and indulge in luxury Glamping sites in a lush forest surrounding a beautiful lake and farm. Immerse yourself in a weekend of relaxation, meditation and yoga alongside workshops that help you infuse your mindful practices into your workday and every aspect of your life.
When your mind, body and work are balanced, everything flows with ease and your deepest desires are fulfilled.
This retreat is for you if…
☑️ You are looking for balance in life and work.
☑️ You want to connect with like-minded women in a community that lifts you up.
☑️ Are in need of a retreat focused on wellness.
