Dear past and future retreaters,
For those who don't know me but asked to be included in receiving my retreat news, my name is Alison Ray. I'm from Guelph, Ontario and am entering my 28th year as an elementary teacher. I initiatilly started running retreats when I presented the idea of an arts and yoga retreat for campers to another business owner and she successfully completed 3 retreats with my support. In 2026 I decided to branch off on my own as we had different business models that worked and were important to us as individuals.
The 2026 retreat was a great success and I'm very proud of what was accomplished and most importantly, what I learned. As a life long learning, I am always driven by creativity and 'what's next.' When I first presented the idea of doing a retreat my focus or desire was to plan a week where I would get to do art, be creative, camp, swim, and hike. The retreats became so much more that that. They became a place of connection, restoration, and inspiration.
It is with tremendous excitement that I announcement that I will be hosting two different retreats next year with the possibility of combing the two for a longer, enjoyable stay.
Retreat 1: Women's Restorative Retreat
Fri. July 9th - Mon. July 12th
Retreat 2: Women's Retreat for Mindful Creatives
Mon. July 12th - Fri. July 16th
