Explore your true self, on this transformational yoga retreat for an opportunity to connect to yourself, engage in meaningful conversations, and dive into your purpose.
Guided by nature & rooted in intention
Imagine paddling across clear waters, laughing under an open sky, and feeling the warmth of a crackling fire as you gather with like-minded souls. This retreat isn’t just about taking a break from daily life—it’s about reconnecting with your playful side, reclaiming your sense of wonder, embracing the freedom to explore, and returning home feeling deeply renewed and inspired.
This retreat blends paddleboarding, yoga, playful camp-style games, and outdoor adventures with daily reflective activities around the fire. Expect a balance of movement, creativity, and time in nature to calm the mind and uplift the spirit. This retreat is designed to inspire joy, connection, and personal growth.
Sylvie’s playful facilitation & teaching style will provide moments of embodiment, creativity, and rejuvenation.
There will be ample time to relax in Edge’s natural spaces, unwind in the sauna, and gather around the campfire. Each activity will help you let go of what no longer serves you, connect with your body and heart.

Edge guests are well nourished and experience mealtime itself as a program element, with storytelling to introduce the seasonal flavours of the region and the relationships with the folk who grew and raised the ingredients close to home. Cooking at the Edge focuses on balancing globally far-flung tastes with provincially produced foods. Meals are served buffet style and are guests often enjoy lakeside dining outdoors when the weather allows it.
Over the years we have met many diverse dietary needs. Guests are invited to identify their dietary needs & preferences as a part of the registration process, and those with restrictions love the options we provide.
We offer unique, tailored experiences that flow as our facilitators respond to the interests of our guests, seasonal conditions, and special opportunities that may arise.
Each retreat at the Edge features healthy doses of dreamtime, adventure, community, creativity, time spent in nature, and a dash of surprise. Guests always have the choice to take solo or rest time in lieu of planned experiences.
While a detailed itinerary is not available, you can count on and prepare for the activities used to describe the flavour of this retreat. Meals are generally served at 8:30, 12:30, and 6pm. When appropriate, optional early-morning or late-night experiences may be offered.
Arrival time is between 2 – 3 pm with programming beginning at 3:30. We encourage our guests to arrive on time and stay to experience the full retreat, which generally ends after brunch on the final day. Please let us know if you expect to arrive after 3.

We’ll be spending time both indoors and out in nature, and we invite you to dress appropriately for the season to stay comfortable, warm, and dry. There’s no dress code and most guests wear their “retreat-casual”.
We encourage guests to bring a surprise to share with others – this might take the form of a game or activity, an instrument/song/poem, or a tasty treat.
