Upcoming RetreatsOur retreats bring together participants in the different Creating Connection groups across Canada and the general public. These gatherings have resulted in powerful and unexpected life-changing events in the lives of attendees. A typical weekend program might consist of these categories:
Events are arranged to allow participants to focus on the category in which they are most interested in. Individuals may also feel inspired to be adventurous and sample something new. There are plenty of opportunities for participants to gather together and share what they have learned, or to freely opt out of any activities and make use of the beautiful surroundings and environment for their own personal rest, meditation and reflection. |
