Details of this retreat

Begin the New Year with a
Clear mind – Pure Heart
IN True Prosperity
We look forward to hosting you at this transformative end of year event.  ​In this retreat we will be bridging science, spirit and shamanism to radically address the core wound of scarcity within through powerfully uplifting and transformative practice. We will utilize the boundless love and wisdom within the plant spirit ceremonial arts to bring deep and lasting healing and transformation. We will dive into the new science of how consciousness shapes the quantum field of reality, and how we can reprogram our minds and bodies to be in alignment with True Prosperity.





Are you ready to do the inner work of finding a whole new way to meet life?


Do you struggle with feeling in fear of lack?


Is an area of your life continually in lack? Lack of love, connection, health, money, time, inspiration ect.


Do you find financial abundance to be a source of ongoing stress?


Is your health, relationships, and self care struggling because of scarcity?


Do you compromise your health, integrity, heart, or soul in any way to get more money/love/attention?


Are you stuck in a pattern of “shadow” around prosperity that you are ready to fully transform?



The greatest illusion of our time is that of scarcity. This is the shadow of money. This illusion runs as an unconscious program throughout the whole of humanity. It is used to justify the greatest harm and has a profound influence on how humanity perceives ourselves, the earth, and life around us. This core wound is an inner complex and tangled web of beliefs, fears, and shadows that have been passed down from generation to generation. We now have the insights of new science and the powerful tools of shamanism to meet this tangled mess and clean it up! Until we as individuals and as a collective bring the light of consciousness to this wound, our personal lives and earth will not heal.
This is absolutely one of the most essential places of inner healing and self-love that we can transform.
The illusion of scarcity is an assemblage point for how we live our lives, how we shape our culture, how we work with (or destroy) nature.

In this retreat we will call forth the INFINITE RESOURCE that comes from and through Sacred Reciprocity and call True Prosperity back into our lives.

And bring the beauty, joy, love, light, reverence, and fun back into healing and your life!









This retreat will focus on ancient and powerful teachings and ceremonies from the Gnostic wisdom schools, shamanic teachings on the nature of shadow dynamic and resolution,  and the ceremonial art of Peruvian Kamaska Curanderismo to awaken the energy of true embodied Prosperity.

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.

Accommodation

All our King and shared Twin rooms have stunning views of the lake and mountains. Whether you opt for a luxurious private King or a shared Twin, all our rooms are clean and modern. Ensuite bathrooms have heated floors, a rain shower, and amenities for your comfort. Fluffy white towels and crisp linens are found in every room — our goal is to ensure can relax and refresh during your stay with us.

Twin shared room (per person)

Accommodation
Our twin shared rooms are elegant, lake and mountain facing boasting ensuite bathrooms with heated tile floors. All rooms were intentionally designed to enhance a reflective and serene stay away from home.

Queen Room

Accommodation
Room 7 is a cozy queen room on the lower level of the Lodge. It's favoured by guests who love containment, a dark sleeping space, and appreciate the savings offered by using a shared bathroom, steps away. This room does not have a direct lake view, but is adjacent to our beautiful sunroom which offers plenty of sunlight and beautiful views of the lake.

Room 11 Maloca - Double

Accommodation

Sunroom Nest

Accommodation
The Sunroom Nest is a glamorous word for shared accommodation in our Sunroom with up to three other people. Each person gets a fully made twin bed with a high density foam topper, 1 pillow, sheets and a full set of towels.  The bathroom is adjacent to the sunroom nest, shared and you are steps away from the lower lobby tea/coffee station.

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.
