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, BC, 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.

The Sentinel
We just spent 4 glorious days at this property for a workshop. The facilities are stunning, the art work is phenomenal, and you can sense how this property was built with intentions for healing, health and well being. I look forward to returning again to experience the beauty of the plants on the land, the lake and mountains are breath taking and the care of stewardship of this property is well cared for and loved by its owners and staff.

Overall
Overall, this was a wonderful experience.....far beyond my expectations. The organizers (Rchard/Gillian and Mike) of the retreat were all great and very helpful. I will say more in the following questions. I also very much valued the vigilance and support from both Erin and Corey.

All the other providers were outstanding as well.....from Leni to Peter and the sound bath mystic Robert. Also kudos to our chefs Chris and Gigi and their helpers.

Just a fantastic experience filled with love. It was a tremendous opportunity for growth and to learn to live outside my head (at least some of the time!).
