Weekly Yin Yoga

One of the many effects of ageing is that our tissues start drying up! Yin is a functional style of yoga. The floor based postures specifically encourage mobility and flexibility and nourish into your joints, spine & the connective tissues of your whole body as well as increasing your overall sense of well-being.  Moving slowly, poses are held for longer periods than in a typical yoga class. Enjoy long deep stretches that can release both mental and physical tension to nurture your body and mind. .

Meditation

Connect with fellow meditators - All Welcome

2nd Sunday, Every Month:  6 - 7pm.

A practical benefit of group meditation is it reinforces a habit of a daily practice. We all lead busy lives, and even the best intention to meditate can get lost once in a while. Joining a group can make you more committed to your practice. Group meditation also serves to inspire other members in the group.​

​

45 minute slightly guided mediation, followed by short discussion and sharing.

​

Randall will provide a facilitated solo, where you head out from the base with minimal gear and food, and be in nature all for one or two nights and days on your own. This can be a most transformative experience that is based on the "solo" or "sweatlodge" of the Lakota but we create our own experience rather that expropriating from native cultures. Before escorting you out to your private site along the river, we brief you on safety procedures and just as important - goals and the proper mind-framing before setting out. We'll have regularly scheduled check ins as well.   

​

A great space to reset your heart and soul, to set goals, to reconnect to yourself, others and nature.

Randall and Amanda are excited to lead a sweat lodge (sauna) experience for you whether you're by yourself or want to join in with others. We offer Women's as well as Men's sweat lodges as well. Cost: with others, $45./pers (min 3, max 7) Private: $110.

​

We create family retreats - get everyone off their devices and into life. the perfect antidote for modern times. Our space is the perfect place for you and your family to reconnect with a hike, yoga or just relaxing and taking in the views..

Open Hearted Listening

Relationship as a Spiritual Practice

​

Learning to Live with an Open Heart

​

What if there was a way to really be heard by your partner?  What if there was a way to get "unstuck?" What if the very obstacles you have struggled against in your relationship turned out to be the keys to a depth of love and harmony that you have only dreamed about?  And what if all this did not require years of hard work digging around in "the past," but was available now?

Randall has been giving intuitive readings for over 30 years, and feels honoured to offer this moving and beneficial experience to others. Please get in touch if you'd like to learn more and see his website.   The cost for the session US$95.
