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.

Getting Here

Location icon The Sentinel, Kaslo, British Columbia, Canada

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. Read More

Couple getaway
We had one night stay at peaceful sentinel as a couple. We got a king suite which was very clean. This place is quite by the lake. We did 2 hrs of kayaking and then went to small town of Kaslo for evening stroll. Small spa area has hot tub for relaxation with views. Breakfast is made by owners of the place from fresh organic produce and owners stay in coffee room most of the time :) Read More

Reflection and learning
Between all the modalities used for meditation and self reflection I can’t imagine a more comprehensive retreat. I loved that every day felt like a new level of healing took place and there was space for integration. Read More

A reverent review of The Sentinel Retreat Centre from a facilitation point of view
Facilitating a retreat at The Sentinel was truly a dream come true. Every detail from the stunning property, the sacred land, the gorgeous decor, the incredibly caring staff, to the spotless cleanliness reflected a deep reverence and respect for the work being done there. The food was nourishing and delicious, and every corner of the center was imbued with beauty and intentionality, right down to the altar items thoughtfully placed throughout the spaces.

From the moment we arrived, it was clear that The Sentinel is a sanctuary. The owners have created a truly sacred and healing environment, and their commitment to their vision is evident in every aspect of the center. Because everything was so seamlessly cared for, the other facilitators and I were able to give our full focus to the group — knowing that all of their needs were held by this extraordinary space.

I hold deep gratitude for The Sentinel and its team, and I look forward to facilitating here again. It was a healing experience for everyone, to the highest degree. Read More
