While enjoying your stay at your own pace, it is also beneficial to have someone accompany you to help you enter into a deeper, authentic connection with nature.

During your retreat, you will have a choice of private guided activities, led by Paula or Benoit depending on the option. During these experiences, Nature will be your therapist, and we will be there to welcome you as guardians of the land and guides to reconnect with Nature. The activities, lasting approximately one hour, are conducted at your own rythm, according to the season, the weather, and your current state.

Personalized private activities

Private guided activities have been created for the retreats. Based on ancestral Indigenous wisdom, they allow participants to delve into their roots to reconnect with themselves and nature in the balance and harmony of a healthy body and mind.

The elements sound circle

Experience the primal sounds of nature

🌿 with Paula

A guided activity beginning with a sensory walk in the forest, allowing you to connect with the forest through all your senses: feel the breeze touch your skin, observe the moss on the rocks, listen to the birds, smell and taste the scents of forest humus and leaves.

Following this sensory walk, a sound bath awaits you in a yurt. To the slow rhythm of the drum, accompanied by voice, song, and other instruments, you will experience an intimate connection with the elements of nature. Body, heart, and mind will reconnect with their deepest essence in this sonic and sensory space, culminating in silence and presence. An immersion in the living tapestry of the forest, where we become one with nature.

A rite of passage with nature

A landmark for moving forward

🌿 with Benoit

Place a marker in your life through a rite of passage. A personalized activity to highlight a significant life transition—new beginnings, career changes, grief, relationships, etc. With your guide, you will create and experience a symbolic moment with nature, tailored to your reality, to intentionally mark this passage.

Experienced in nature, on ancestral land inhabited for over 12,000 years, this experience is imbued with simplicity, presence, and depth. All the elements contribute to the moment: the wind in the trees, the water of the stream, the animals of the forest, the fire, and the silence. An intimate journey to the heart of oneself with nature.

Information: Duration 1 hour, price $90 + tax

Transformation by nature

Nature as a source of healing

🌿 with Benoit

Sometimes life situations weigh us down, like a burden, a weight we carry and drag along, often for far too long. Nature, from which we come, our mother, possesses vital forces that are constantly in motion and transformation. These life forces can help us lighten the burdens we carry.

Your guide will accompany you in connecting with this active force of nature so that it may transform your life experiences. Experienced as a moment of communion, this guidance is respectful of each individual's privacy and a balm for the soul. Not at the level of psychotherapy or psychology, this encounter with nature is an exploration of the coherence and harmony of life, which soothes and liberates.

Information: Duration 1 hour, price $90 + tax
