What is the Landing Place ?

Held on protected marshland, along the shores of the Chateauguay river, home to migratory birds and a diversity of wildlife, this day-long retreat invites you to land with deep self and nature, bringing presence to the inner space from which we live and lead. So often, we spend our time taking care of things in our outer world, focused on responsibility and action, sometimes at the expense of tuning into the more inner and receptive energies which allow us to listen, reflect, release and move forward with more intention and clarity.

This day is designed as a gentle day of practice - walking meditation, restorative yoga, reflective journaling, ritual and release, that is both introspective and in community.  When we practice being in connection with ourselves, the land, and each other, we can make wiser decisions, act more responsibly, care for ourselves and each other, and build community from a place that sustains us. 

This day-long workshop is set-up so that you have a place to land, to let go. Maybe it's letting go of the demands of a hectic schedule, and day-to-day stressors, or perhaps you are wanting to leave behind something more important, like heavy emotions, or an old memory that has been holding you back. It also invites you to connect with your deep intention, what you are seeking to grow towards, and step more fully into what brings your life more joy! 

What you will receive?

  • Nature walk on the land

  • Time for solo reflection and intention setting for this next cycle

  • An opportunity to release

  • Small group coaching

  • Connection in community
