GATHER | MUSKOKA | NOVEMBER 2026
An intimate women's only retreat.
There is more life to feel, more clarity to access, and a deeper level of presence available — and we’re going there.
There comes a point in a woman’s life when she realizes something subtle.
From the outside, life may look full and well built.
The work is meaningful.
Relationships matter.
Responsibilities are handled.
Much has been created, carried, and sustained.
And yet… something inside her quietly knows:
She wants to feel more present inside the life she has already built.
Not by doing more.
Not by escaping her life.
But by expanding her capacity to actually be here for it.
Gather is a soul-rich, nature-held retreat for the woman who is ready to walk herself home — into clarity, alignment, and the kind of inner power that doesn’t shout to be heard.
Set in the golden beauty of Muskoka, this 3 night, 4-day retreat is an intimate, deeply guided experience of self mastery, personal expansion and connection — woven through the lens of nervous system regulation and presence.
Expect transformation
What we will explore together.
Over four days in the beauty and stillness of Muskoka in late autumn, we will explore the practices and conversations that support deeper presence and personal leadership.
Through guided breathwork, intentional movement, nature immersion, reflection, and powerful group conversations, women begin to gather the pieces of themselves that life has scattered across responsibilities and roles.
This retreat weaves together:
Nervous system education and capacity work
Expanding the physiological capacity required to hold more of life with steadiness and clarity.
Transformational breathwork experiences
Powerful sessions that open space for insight, release, and reconnection.
Personal leadership conversations
Honest, grounded conversations about life, purpose, relationships, work, and the next chapter.
Nature and spaciousness
Time in Muskoka’s forests and lakes to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with what matters most.
Movement and embodiment
Practices that bring women back into their bodies and their lived experience.
Long-table connection
Shared meals and meaningful conversations with women who understand what it means to hold a full life.
This retreat is for you if you’re ready to:
- You’re entering (or sensing) a new chapter in life, leadership, relationships, or work, and want space to reflect and reconnect with your direction.
- You’re drawn to practices like breathwork, movement, nature, and reflection that support deeper presence and clarity.
- You’d welcome time to slow down, step away from the pace of daily responsibilities, and reconnect with yourself in a meaningful way.
- You value thoughtful conversation, personal growth, and time with women who understand what it means to hold a full life.
- You appreciate the kind of retreat that includes powerful breathwork sessions, intentional movement, time in nature, nourishing meals, and long-table conversations with thoughtful women.
- Something about this retreat simply feels like the right place for you to be right now.
Your Accomodations
Whether you come with a longtime soul sister or arrive on your own, you will be deeply welcomed.
The majority of the women who join Gather come solo – and leave with new lifelong sisters. There’s something extraordinary that happens when women gather with openness, intention, and heart. Walls come down. Truths are spoken. Laughter flows. And bonds form in the most unexpected, soul-affirming ways.
If you are attending alone (and we celebrate that brave, beautiful decision), we can pair you with an incredible woman to room with. Many of the most profound connections start this way — through a quiet yes and a shared experience that changes you both.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I've never done guided movement, fascial work or breathwork?
Expect to be gently guided, deeply supported, and beautifully surprised by what unfolds.
This isn’t a retreat where you need to know the steps ahead of time — it’s a space to soften into the unknown and allow yourself to be led inward. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be held in a warm, welcoming environment that honours your pace, your truth, and your process.
You can expect meaningful conversations, quiet moments, movement that meets you where you are, breathwork that opens new layers of clarity, and a sense of connection — to yourself, nature, and a circle of women walking their own brave paths alongside you.
There’s no right way to do this — just your way.
What if I need alone time?
You are in good company — many women who attend are deeply introspective. This retreat is designed with space to both connect and retreat. You’ll have solo time to walk, rest, journal, read, or simply be. We honour the need for personal space just as much as we value heartfelt connection.
What's the best airport to fly into?
If you’re flying in for the retreat near Gravenhurst, Ontario, the most convenient major airport is Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ), located approximately 160 kilometers (about 100 miles) south of Gravenhurst. This airport offers a wide range of international and domestic flights, making it the primary choice for travelers.
Alternatively, Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport (YTZ) is another option, situated around 180 kilometers (about 112 miles) south of Gravenhurst. While it primarily serves regional flights, it could be suitable depending on your departure location.
For those considering regional options, Muskoka Airport (YQA) is located directly in Gravenhurst. However, commercial flight availability is limited, so it’s advisable to check for any scheduled services that might align with your travel plans.
Upon arrival at either Toronto airport, you can rent a car or arrange ground transportation or carpool for the approximately 2-hour drive to Gravenhurst.
How do I get to the retreat?
The retreat space is located at 1023 Old Portage Rd, Gravenhurst, ON P1P 1R1.
Although transportation to and from the retreat space isn’t included, we will be opening a private Whatsapp chat group 4 weeks before the retreat and you’ll be able to connect with other women to carpool.
I have dietary restrictions. Will there be food for me?
Please let us know upon booking – we are able to accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and most food sensitivities.
I am thinking about coming all by myself. Am I going to feel out of place?
If you are a single registrant – awesome! We have found that over 50% of the individuals who sign up for our retreats are coming alone so do not worry if this is something you’ve never done before. We may arrive solo, but we will move throughout the week as a mini-tribe of beautiful souls. Many of the people you meet during this weekend will likely become life-long friends.
I’ve never done this before. What shall I expect?
To be completely wowed and leave feeling like you’ve given yourself the biggest gift ever. That’s a bold statement – we know, but after hosting many retreats in various settings we are accustomed to the magic that happens in a retreat.
Retreats are inherently different than vacations. On the surface it may look a lot like an all-inclusive style vacation, but once you arrive you’ll start to settle into the glorious routine of taking space and time to unroll your yoga mat, breathe deep, expand outwards and enjoy the process that unfolds. The workshops and classes are like icing on a soulful adventure.
Bring your open heart and sense of fun and you’ll be sure to have an incredible time (and if you feel inspired to truly unplug – be prepared to set down your technology while you are here).
What is your refund policy?
Retreats are non-refundable unless the retreat does not run. If you decide you do not want to attend and we are able to find a participant to fill your space we will refund all monies less a $50 administration fee.
