Support tailored to you

While experiencing your stay at your own pace, it is also beneficial to be accompanied to help you enter deeply into an authentic connection with nature.

During your retreat, you have the option of private guided activities with Paule or Benoit, depending on the package. In these experiences, Nature will be your therapist, and we will be there to open its doors for you as guardians of the land and guides for reconnecting with Nature. The activities, each lasting about an hour, unfold at your own pace, according to the season, the weather, and your state of being at that moment.

Personalized Private Activities

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

The Sound Circle of the Elements

Vibrate with the primordial sounds of nature

🌿 with Paule Rochette

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 spirit will reconnect with their deep essence in this sonic and sensory space, which will end in silence and presence. An immersion in the living fabric of the forest, where we become one with nature.

Nature Passage Experience

A landmark to move forward

🌿 with Benoit Paquette

Mark a milestone in your life through a rite of passage experience. A personalized activity to honor an important life transition — new beginnings, career changes, grief, relationships, and more. With your guide, you will create and live a symbolic moment with nature, tailored to your reality, to mark this passage with intention.

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

Transformation through nature

Nature as a source of healing

🌿 with Benoit Paquette

It happens that life situations weigh on us, like a burden, a weight we carry and drag, often for too long. Nature, from which we come, our mother to all, possesses living forces that are always in motion and that transform. These forces of life can help us lighten the burdens we carry.

Your guide will accompany you in connecting with this active nature so that it transforms these life experiences. Experienced as a moment of communion, this support is intended to be respectful of each person's privacy and a balm for the soul. Not being at the level of psychotherapy or psychology, this encounter with nature is an incursion into the coherence and harmony of the living, which soothes and sets free.

Information: duration 1h, price $90+tax
