Slow & Serene Gabriola Retreat

What Awaits You

A peaceful waterfront inn with personal balconies overlooking the marina; your perfect escape to slow down, breathe deeply, and recharge. Join us on Gabriola Island for our Spring 2025 Retreat, where gentle yoga, guided meditations, forest therapy, and creative sessions invite you to find calm, clarity, and renewed energy.

Over the course of the weekend, you’ll reconnect with nature, quiet your mind, and nourish your body and soul. Whether it’s through mindful movement, the healing stillness of the forest, or moments of reflection with pen in hand, you’ll rediscover what it feels like to be fully present. Thoughtfully designed to help you release stress and embrace peace, this retreat offers space to rest, restore, and reset.

Take this time for yourself. Rest, reflect, and leave feeling restored and truly at peace.

Whether you bring a friend or embrace the opportunity to meet a new one, there are flexible options to suit your comfort and budget. Scroll down for more details on each accommodation option but here they are at-a-glance:

Share a king or queen bed with a friend to reduce costs.
Enjoy a queen sofabed for yourself in a shared unit for a budget-friendly option.
Split a unit with a friend - one takes the bed, and the other the sofabed, your choice!
Have a king or queen bed to yourself while sharing the unit with another participant.

Escape the everyday and immerse yourself in a serene coastal retreat with views that inspire calm and connection.

Registration fees start at $849.00* per person and are inclusive of accommodations, meals and guided wellness sessions.

Option 1: King Bed in partially divided bedroom - Shared Studio
$979 per person

For those who prefer more privacy, you can choose to have the partially divided bedroom to yourself in the shared studio unit. You’ll have the king bed to yourself, while still sharing the unit’s living space with someone else. This option provides more privacy in the room, but the living area (where the sofabed is located) will still be shared with another retreat participant.

Option 2: Queen Bed in partially divided bedroom - Shared Studio
$949 per person

For those who prefer more privacy, you can choose to have the partially divided bedroom to yourself in the shared studio unit. You’ll have the queen bed to yourself, while still sharing the unit’s living space with someone else. This option provides more privacy in the room, but the living area (where the sofabed is located) will still be shared with another participant.

Option 3: Queen Sofabed in partially divided living room - Shared Studio
$849 per person

For a more affordable option, you can choose to sleep on the sofabed in the living area of the shared unit. You will still stay in the studio unit, but the sofa bed provides a partially divided sleeping arrangement from the main bed area. You will be sharing the living space with other participants, but the sofabed is a cost-effective option for those looking to save money while still enjoying a comfortable place to sleep.

Option 4: Shared Bed in partially divided bedroom - Shared Studio
From $869 per person

This option is for friends or companions attending together who are comfortable sharing a bed (king or queen) in the studio unit. It’s ideal for those who want to experience the retreat together but prefer to stay in the same room and save a few dollars. While sharing the bed with a friend, you'll also share the living space with another participant, but sleeping with a friend is a cost-effective option for those seeking a comfortable, budget-friendly place to sleep.
