Upon arrival guests will be welcomed into the retreat, and the Sacred Space opened with a group smudging, followed by Introductions. After enjoying a beautiful dinner, you are invited to a Revival Sound Bath. This experience brings the body into a state of cleansing and calmness allowing us to prepare for the weekend journey. The sounds and vibrations of the gongs are a very powerful tools. They will assist in reducing stress, releasing and clearing emotions and energy that no longer serve.

This is followed by a nourishing meal to break our fast and silence. Afterward, join us for a group Hypnotherapy session to really tune into your self and strengthen the foundation of your journey to Elevate your human with positive reinforcements for self-love and self-worth.

Emotion Code Session, Hypnotherapy. 

The late afternoon includes a group Meditation & Vocal Release Experience to tune into sensations in your body and offer releases through vocalizations. 

Saturday evening, we will get together and give thanks for a beautiful meal, then gather for a group energy cleansing before transitioning into a blessed Cacao Ceremony. Journey into your body, moving and breathing as we go deeper with a Shamanic Sound Bath. As we raise the frequency and deepen the vibrations in this vortex, notice all aspects of your being begin to revive, restore and rejuvenate. 

Sunday morning we begin in silence and consciously join in an Honouring Meditation and Yoga before breaking our fast with a light nourishing meal. 

Guests will then depart after a closing ceremony and Elevating Sound Bath. This will allow you to integrate your experience and leave the retreat feeling energized with a sense of peace and ease about your self.

Getting Here

Location icon The Sentinel

Directions

We are a 50-minute drive north of Nelson, BC, just outside the charming village of Kaslo. We are 9 hours by car from Vancouver, and 8 hours from Calgary. These drives are incredibly beautiful, wending through some of North America's most spectacular mountain terrain. There are flights (approx. 1 hour) from both Vancouver & Calgary to our nearest airport, in Castlegar, which is a scenic 1.5 hours from our door.

Driving from Nelson, follow highway 3A north to Balfour (Kootenay Lake ferry landing), and proceed another 20-25 minutes on Highway 31 north. There is a "Sentinel Retreat" blue road sign on the highway (approx. 60 km from Nelson). Slow down and prepare to take a sharp right turn onto Amundsen Road. The Sentinel is located at bottom of the hill. Please observe signs.

Overlooking spectacular Kootenay Lake, the Lodge, with its massive windows and expansive deck affords breathtaking lake & mountain views. The Maloca, a magnificent round, timbered ceremonial and activity space, seems to float above the lake. A short stroll from the Lodge, the Sentinel's spa deck, with its unique wood-fired sauna and cedar-lined hot tub is a favourite gathering spot for guests, year-'round. 700' of lakefront, with deck, firepit and yoga area is a tranquil spring/summer area.

A profound experience
We came to the sentinel for a couples retreat that was absolutely profoud. We felt so welcome and at “home”. A beautiful place to do healing work. The meals were healthy and they catered around all my dietary needs.

It was refreshing to be offline and focus on our deep work. It was a refreshing place for healing.
