Healthcare Workers Retreat
Oct. 17th to 19th, 2025
A 3-day Retreat
I imagine you may have heard from your colleagues about a wonderful retreat that occurred 2 years ago. Did you hear? We all spent a weekend at the glorious Northern Edge Algonquin retreat centre where we relaxed, recharged, and rekindled community. We paddled, hiked, did yoga and meditation. We had a campfire, used the Finnish style sauna, and talked a lot about how to be well in this line of work that is so very rewarding yet so very challenging. It was the exhale that we all needed.
I am so excited to announce that we are doing this again on Oct 17-19th, 2025!
I hope you will be able to join us for a nature immersion that will give you the boost you need. Take time out of your busy schedule to choose YOU.
You will have locally sourced incredible food.
A gorgeous nest to curl into without wifi or other distractions.
You will have time to exhale, to share, and to simply be.
This year's retreat will include Allie Chisholm-Smith as our main facilitator and yoga teacher plus we will have Dr James Maskaylk - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Maskalyk on board to share his journey and to guide us in meditation.
We have applied to the Huntsville LEG to get a portion of the retreat fees reimbursed, in 2023 the LEG reimbursed all members $500 for each participant.

Wintering, Writing, & Being in Wonder
A wintering retreat at Northern Edge
Jan. 30th to Feb 1st, 2026
Some of you might be offended at the mention of winter and snow, but others like me, might say AH... I love summer but I also love the quiet muffle that snow brings.
In this retreat, we will heed the call to go inwardly, to nurture the voice of your wisest Self and bring it forward into the world through writing, nature, and community. We will rest, we will write, and we will be in the wonder of this life.
The experiences will include sauna, snow fun, writing sessions, and of course, great conversations between great people.
I will have a link for you soon but for now, just let me know if this peaks your interest.
Our Hosts, Northern Edge Algonquin
Kawaymog Lake, South River, Ontario
Northern Edge Algonquin is a completely off-grid award-winning retreat center that invites guests to unplug in nature for custom-tailored, multi-day experiences that reconnect and inspire the leader within. By stepping away from the everyday use of technology and into community connection, leaning into self and reconnecting with the earth, they believe we can all become better stewards for both ourselves and the land.
Nourish Yourself: Meals & Dining
Mealtime is, hands down, one of the most memorable aspects of an experience at the Edge. Chef Gregor will seriously dazzle your tastebuds with locally-sources, yet globally-inspired meals. His culinary experiences have been recognized by the tourism industry as some of the best in Canada, and the Edge was actually the first ever food provider in Ontario recognized by Feast On for our taste of place as a certified purveyor of locally sourced food.
“Thank you so much for a marvellous weekend retreat! It truly was just what I needed — a reset of my internal compass to True North.
Your yoga practices helped not only my body, but also my spirit. The ayurvedic conversations continue to teach me and reinforce my understanding of myself, and also helped me to connect with others.
Not needing to watch the time constantly was honestly so freeing and really helped me to unwind so much more quickly. Of course, the setting — the entire venue — was spectacular and truly supported the experience you offered. I am leaving this weekend with a renewed sense of optimism and faith in myself— thank you so much, my friend, for this gift. ”
— Monique C. (Landing Together Again, 2022)
