A place to return home to the essence of who we are, our authentic self. It’s a journey of re-discovering that aspect of ourselves that has been hidden that is longing to show itself.

An opportunity to tell our stories, to connect to self and others, to be seen, to be heard, to stop and pause, to be still, silent, exhale and meditate, to listen, talk, sing, laugh, share, to sing, move our bodies, to give thanks, to let go what’s no longer needed or necessary, to forgive, to heal, to bring forth all of our needs, wants, hopes and desires.

A place that is sacred, spiritual and peaceful that will honour our historical and family traditions that nourishes and feeds our mind, body and spirit.
