I am feeling so grateful for all those who attended Barefoot and Unbound, a one-day retreat for female entrepreneurs who love being outside. We explored what it means to step out of isolation and into collaboration.
We had incredible conversations, amazing food and fun in both the sauna and river.
This was a joint venture between Shift Adventure and Wellness & Akoya Lifestyle and Wellness Therapy.

I have had the privilege of taking my open water scuba certification with Rainbow Dive Bali. What an experience! It is a whole new adventure under water.

Location & Accommodation

The Great Escape Summer Camp for Women takes place at the Powell Lake Outdoor Learning Centre — a beautiful, peaceful setting surrounded by forest and right on the lake.

This location was chosen very intentionally to support both rest and connection.

Accommodation is simple, clean, and modern, with a mix of shared cabins and a limited number of tent platforms available for those who would like to bring their own tent and have a more immersed outdoor experience.

Details include:

🌿 Shared cabins (some with toilets)
🚿 Four spacious private shower rooms
🏕️ Tent platforms available
🏡 Access to indoor spaces if the weather becomes unpredictable

While the accommodations are not luxurious, they are comfortable and thoughtfully designed to support a relaxed and welcoming environment.

The focus here is on the experience — being in nature, connecting with others, and having space to slow down and reset.

✨ As an added bonus, the first 3 women to register will receive a complimentary RMT massage with Clara ✨

If you’re looking for a place to step away, breathe deeply, and reconnect, this setting offers exactly that.

🌿 August 6–9 at Powell Lake Outdoor Learning Centre
🌿 Spaces are limited

Meet Sydney Fletcher – Facilitator

I’m so happy to have Sydney Fletcher joining us as part of The Great Escape Summer Camp for Women.

Sydney is a life and business coach, yoga instructor, and co-founder of VIDA Movement Community in Comox. She brings a grounded, compassionate, and playful approach to her work — supporting people as they navigate transitions, reconnect to what’s true for them, and take meaningful steps forward.

Her work weaves together mindset, nervous system care, and creativity, creating spaces that feel supportive, thoughtful, and accessible.

At camp, Sydney will be offering both a yoga session and a wellness workshop. Her yoga integrates movement, breathwork, and philosophy, offering a chance to reconnect with the body in a gentle and supportive way — and is accessible to all levels, whether you’re experienced or brand new.

Her workshop will explore themes such as self-trust and mindset, helping participants reconnect with themselves in an honest and grounded way.

Her presence is calming, encouraging, and deeply authentic — the kind of facilitator who helps you feel safe to show up exactly as you are.

I’m really looking forward to having her as part of this experience.

Who is this retreat for?

This experience was created with a very particular feeling in mind.

It’s for women who are ready to step out of their usual routine — even just for a few days — and reconnect with themselves in a more meaningful way.

It’s for you if you’re craving:

🌿 Time away from the busyness and constant thinking
💛 Space to prioritize yourself without guilt
🧘‍♀️ A chance to reconnect with your body — in whatever way feels right

At The Great Escape, you’ll have options.

You might choose more active experiences like canoeing, hiking, or exploring the outdoors.
Or you might be drawn to slower, more reflective practices like yoga, meditation, or art.

Or — like many women — you may find yourself moving between both.

This retreat is also for those who are longing for:

👭 Genuine connection with like-minded women who enjoy being in nature
🍽️ Nourishing, delicious meals prepared for you
🌊 A balance of movement, rest, play, and connection

There’s no expectation to be a certain way or do it all.

You’re invited to come as you are, and choose what you need, moment to moment.

✨ As a little added bonus, the first 3 women to register will receive a complimentary RMT massage with Clara ✨

If this resonates, we would love to welcome you.

🌊 Nature. Heat. Water. Space to breathe. 🌿

Part of the Barefoot & Unbound experience unfolds outside of conversation.

In the forest.
By the river.
In the warmth of a wood-fired sauna.

This isn’t about pushing limits or doing something extreme.
It’s about giving your body the space to soften…
so your mind can follow.

We’ll walk beneath the trees.
We’ll sit by the fire.
We’ll move between warmth and cool water —
not as a challenge, but as a reset.

These moments have a way of bringing clarity.
Of quieting the noise.
Of helping you feel what’s true — not just think it.

You’re always invited to participate in a way that feels right for you.
Nothing is forced. Everything is optional.

Because sometimes the most powerful insights don’t come from trying harder…
they come from finally exhaling. 🌿

Connection with Like-Minded Women

One of the most meaningful parts of The Great Escape Summer Camp for Women is the connection that unfolds between participants.

There’s something special about gathering with women who are also choosing to step away from their routines and spend time in nature.

Connection at camp isn’t forced or overly structured.

It happens naturally — through playfulness, shared experiences, and simply spending time together.

Around the fire.
On the beach, feet in the water.
Sitting around the table, enjoying a meal someone else has lovingly prepared.
Out adventuring — canoeing, hiking, or exploring side by side.
And through shared moments in dance, art, and wellness sessions.

Many women arrive not knowing anyone else.

And what we often see is that they leave with a genuine sense of connection — feeling seen, supported, and part of something.

There’s space here for meaningful conversation, laughter, quiet companionship, and everything in between.

✨ As an added bonus, the first 3 women to register will receive a complimentary RMT massage with Clara ✨

If you’ve been craving connection with like-minded women, this is a space where that can unfold in a natural and meaningful way.
