Do you need a little rest & relaxation in the serenity of nature? This retreat could be a getaway just for YOU, or invite your friends and family for a weekend renewal. Join me in a beautiful retreat space in Muskoka, Ontario and be immersed in nature within a 20 acre private forest.

Are you ready to reconnect with yourself in mind~body~heart and spirit? Do you want to reset your eating habits and learn about the healing power of food? Have you been wanting to integrate a movement & meditation practice, as well as self-care into your daily life? This retreat gives you time to explore YOU!

All levels of yoga and meditation welcome ~ remember, yoga is a practice! If you are an absolute beginner, you will feel comfortable practicing mindful movements and gentle yoga. Please also note that all activities and practices are completely optional, take a nap or read a book in your cabin, or take a nature walk and ground yourself in the natural beauty of Mother Earth.

Courage My Heart

This is an intimate retreat where you will be deeply held in a sacred circle, where Melissa holds space for you to share your story, reset your eating habits and integrate holistic self-care practices to improve your overall health and wellbeing.

Melissa is a student of Ayurveda and Holistic nutrition, and after being a vegetarian since the proud age of 10, is now a vegan. She is looking forward to sharing this Raw Cleanse & Wellbeing Retreat with YOU!

You will be introduced to the Courage My Heart Practice, encouraging your mind~body~heart connection with breathwork, meditation-infused movement, and mindfulness.
