Details of this retreat

"We are living in the time that has been foretold by countless prophecies, a time of evolutionary potential and quickening, known as The Great Turning. Every level of consciousness and all sentient beings are in a process of evolutionary transformation. Death and rebirth are everywhere. The pressure is great, the challenge is epic, and we each are the chosen ones who get to imagine a whole new earth into being.”

Robin Flynn & Darcy Kopas : https://visionaryhearts.com

Rebirthing The New Earth is a dynamic and delightful blend of nervous system science and the beautiful cross-cultural shamanic teachings of The Pachakuti Mesa Tradition. In this time together we will explore intentional practices for creating new ways of being within ourselves and within the world; we will acknowledge that the earth is dramatically changing, and with it, we are being asked to change too.

We believe that we are in a powerful time of transition and initiation, one that is calling forth those who know, deep within themselves that the ways we have been living are not in alignment with the highest potential of humanity and all life on earth.

In our time together, we will contemplate…



What tools and practices can we live and embody to help our rebirthing process?
What is required of us in order to become beings who can live on this new earth?
How can we become loving custodians of the earth and evolve alongside her?
How can we be in right relationship with all of life?




We will begin the weekend with a chance to dive into breath and ceremonial rebirthing containers to help us shed the layers that no longer serve us and where we are headed. This is done in a gentle and loving way; there is no need to force this rebirthing, all that is ready to fall away does so with grace. From this place we will lean into powerful shamanic practices Ayni, of group journeying, and connecting with the earth.

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.

Astounding
Another amazing weekend at the Sentinel. The maloca, a temple, the land and water, the staff, and the food...all astounding. I wish I could give it 6 stars.

Will be back. So grateful.

Incredible Space
The Sentinel has offers unique spaces to relax and dive deep, each of them special in their own way. From the cedar sauna and hot tub/cold plunge, to the Maloca and the authentic Mongolian Ger, the lodge and the grounds themselves. Breakfasts were nourishing, healthy and plentiful, I wish I could have eaten more! The rooms are spacious, very clean and beautifully designed. Everyone that works there is kind and helpful. They understand what hospitality is! Highly recommend the Sentinel to stay - one night is not enough!

A truly magical space with a deeply nourishing feeling. The property is beautiful and well-kept. All the bedrooms and common areas were clean and well appointed and had a warm and pleasing aesthetic.

Wonderful place to relax!
This is the second time I have visited the Sentinel. I went in the fall and the spring but I would be curious to know what it's like staying there in the summer.

The chefs make great food and you cannot miss out on that.

The hospitality is great as well and hopefully they finish their new building soon.

For those that want to do a quick hike, Fletcher Falls is nearby.
