Details of this retreat

Open up and bring new levels of your Consciousness into your awareness with this Sacred
Retreat!
Join us in a revitalizing, rejuvenating & expanding
healing retreat for your Consciousness, Body, Mind, and Spirit to ELEVATE
 

ELEVATE your human | A healing retreat

Bring new levels of your consciousness into existence in this sacred space. At The Sentinel, we are offering an elevating, expanding, and healing retreat for your Consciousness, Body, Mind, and Spirit. ELEVATE.
As the days lengthen and we lean into summer, tap into the depths of your being during this luminous retreat hosted at The Sentinel by Nikki Kaur Ball and Michael Ferreira.

Encompassed by rugged nature and imbued with energy, feel your connections to Source, your consciousness, and the power within yourself grow. Participate in Sound Baths, Light Language Activations, Hypnotherapy, Yoga, Guided Meditation, Journaling, eating beautiful food made with intention and love, and resting deeply in a cozy Lodge.

Upon arrival on Friday evening, guests will be welcomed into the retreat and space with a group smudging and 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. We will find balance and feel a deep sense of peace as the nervous system relaxes. The sounds and vibrations of the gongs are a very powerful tool, meeting every individual at their level of spiritual, emotional and physical need. They will assist in reducing stress, releasing and clearing emotions and energy that no longer serve.

Start Saturday morning in silence, and participate in Guided Meditation and Yoga. Experience a gentle rising with intentional embodiment and movement that incorporates energy work. This will allow us to flow deeply into our psyche
and alchemize energy and emotions while tapping into the lush internal energy we possess. Feel the elevation and expansion within. This is followed by a nourishing meal and Gratitude Practice. Afterwards, 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.

Enjoy a delicious lunch, then embrace some you-time afterwards. Journal, wander to the shores of Kootenay Lake, be social, enjoy the facilities at The Sentinel, including a sauna, or book some one-on-one offerings; Massage,
Emotion Code Session, Hypnotherapy.

The late afternoon includes a group Meditation & Journey and Light Language Activation. These activations spark individual growth, offering releases, understandings, and expansion. It is normal for deep feelings and intrinsic
knowing’s to spill forward. Each person’s journey is their own; Nikki and Michael are there to keep guests
grounded and growing.

Saturday evening, we will gather and give thanks for a beautiful meal together. After dinner, join us 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.

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.
