Join us for an intimate Summer Solstice Retreat in Bragg Creek, held over the powerful Solstice threshold from June 21–24, 2026, at The Deer House — a warm, welcoming log cabin surrounded by forest, wildlife, and stillness.

This retreat is designed to be deeply nourishing yet spacious, weaving together movement, ceremony, nature immersion, astrology, sound, breathwork, and rest. The land itself invites you to slow down, reconnect, and restore.

No prior experience with yoga, astrology, Gene Keys, or breathwork is required. All practices are accessible, grounding, and welcoming to beginners.

Please note: The itinerary may vary slightly based on weather, group needs, and the natural rhythm of the retreat.
