Understanding & Honouring Love Languages
Sometimes we really love another person and we know they love us but there is a deeper emotional connection that is missing. There is a yearning & emptiness that leaves us feeling sad. And, what baffles us the most is there was a time when we felt very connected with this person and somehow the love has faded. Find out how to interpret your own “Love Language” and the language of the ones you are desiring a deeper connection with- Partners, Children, Family & Friends.

This workshop will warm your spirit and open your heart with new found hope and skills to give & receive love in the manner that truly fills our unique “Love Tanks.”

Mastering the “Vital Few” Habits for Joyful Living
Every relationship begins with the one we are having with ourselves. Have you ever noticed that life seems to go well when you are being really good to yourself? Consider that taking great care of yourself is not only a gift to you, but it is also a gift to everyone around you. Who are you when you are getting enough sleep, eating well, exercising, and making time for the things you love? Are you someone who is more patient, easy to be with, confident and open minded?

Together in this workshop we will explore what are each of our unique “Vital Few” habits that when mastered, really give us a rock solid foundation, help us let go of “shoulds”, naturally take care of many “to do’s” and allow us to really enjoy life. With greater awareness to each of our needs and some success strategies implemented, we can simplify our lives and build a healthier, happier relationship with ourselves and therefore healthier happier relationships with others.

Restorative Yoga
Surrounded by the majestic beauty of this retreat setting, the stresses of daily life will naturally dissipate into a profound peace. Our yoga practice will include breath work, gentle postures, restorative poses and guided relaxation to promote a deep level of healing.

Exploring the Healing Power of Nature through the Expressive Arts
Nature inspires and nurtures our souls. During this retreat, we have the opportunity to slow down and deepen our connection to the natural world. Access your inner wisdom and explore your relationship with Nature’s healing energy through journaling, music, art, poetry and creative visualization. Bring a journal. No art experience necessary.

Ancient Wisdom for Well Being
Nature is our inspiration for health and well being. Everything in a healthy functioning old growth forest has a purpose. All we need to do is look to this ancient wisdom for ideas to create our own physical, mental and spiritual health. Secrets will be revealed on Lee-Anne's entertaining and informative guided nature and botanical walks through the Old Growth forest at Island Lake.
