Location: Ecology Retreat Centre Hockley Valley
308046 Hockley Road, Mono ON L9W 6N2
Facilitators: MDPAC Committee/Members, Clayton Shirt and Beth Foster
How do we connect, share, and care for ourselves and each other? Through a series of experiential group exercises, we will deepen our awareness of ourselves, our connections with others, and our relationships with the natural world. Set in the enchanted forest of the Hockley Valley, this retreat will weave together nature, movement, laughter, breath, music and spirit. Together, we’ll explore Native Spirit practices, Holotropic Breathwork , Poetry and Sound and Improv, with Beth Foster once again guiding us into the forest for a transformative Forest Bathing
The retreat centre is exclusively ours for the weekend, complete with hiking trails, a fire pit, and - for the cold plunge enthusiasts - a refreshing spring-fed pond! Each participant will have a private room, and all meals will be freshly prepared on-site, with dietary needs accommodated.
