Frequently Asked Questions

What types of group retreats can the Edge support?

We have the capacity to support all kinds of groups and retreats. We work regularly with pre-formed communities, yoga studios, wellness groups, corporate & team building retreats, organizations that support wellness and resiliency, workshop leaders, specialty instructors, and certification programs.

What happens if we need to cancel our retreat?

If you need to cancel your retreat, we appreciate if you can let us know as early as possible! There are no hard feelings. Your non-refundable group deposit (and any other charges that have been due up to that point) will go towards covering the costs we have incurred in preparation for your visit (including the costs of blocking the date in our calendar). Learn more here.

Do you always provide programming? Can we just get accommodations/meals?

Our specialty and main focus is on providing facilitated experiences, unlike a stay at a hotel or resort where the focus is accommodations, meals, and self-catered activities. Leaders and facilitators are welcome to join us and facilitate their own programming with our collaboration and assistance, and most other groups that join us at the Edge enjoy full or co-created programming.

What’s the best way for us to arrive at the Edge as a group?

Most groups drive and arrange carpooling between participants. Some groups engage a charter bus direct to NEA. We are eagerly anticipating the return of the Ontario Northland train service – when resumed, it will conduct a group from downtown Toronto right to the town of South River, from where we can coordinate a short bus trip to the centre.

Can we pay and register separately?

Most pre-formed groups share an invoice and group members are asked to fill in a short form to report their dietary needs and other insights. Groups also have the option of separate registration and payment – either per family group or per person.

Will anybody else be on-site during our retreat?

At the Edge, individuals cannot book and stay like at a hotel or resort, and we only host one group at a time – so yes, in general it is a private experience. Various team members of NEA stay on-site to help make the retreat happen. The Lucier family who live on-site reserve the right to invite friends and family to stay and visit, and on these occasions they typically steer clear of groups but may be present at mealtimes.
