Feel welcomed into a circle of women…
coming together to move, breathe and connect.
Let nature be your mirror

Reconnect to Nature as Sanctuary, Mirror, and Guide.
This immersive experience will spark inspiration, warm your heart, enliven your body, and nourish your creative spirit. Return home uplifted!
Gather around the hearth, and enjoy the warmth of belonging.
You’ve been asking us for it, and we’re SO excited to invite you to join us for our first Weekend Retreat!
Introducing your facilitators
Our co-facilitated retreats are the culmination of decades of training, practice, and humbling life experiences for both of us. Beyond the collection of our individual skills and offerings, something magic happens when we come together. It feels sweet . . . divine . . . and bursting with vitality! We are sculpting this experience for you with deep care and attention to detail; fueled by the radiant joy that expands when we are together. This joy is palpable and contagious, and there is plenty of it to go around. The currencies of our friendship? Pure delight, deep soul sistership, and a profound capacity to transform any challenge into inspiring experiential wisdom.
We are here to serve YOU!

Rachel Wyatt helps brilliant women break out of survival mode and set up daily habits to optimize their Creativity. She loves guiding Creatives as they transform their dark night of the soul or midlife crisis into the launching pad for their dreams. She is currently having the time of her life teaching a 12 Week Online Course titled “READY TO REINVENT YOURSELF”: it’s an exquisitely curated transformational process that shows you how to fully embody your creative visions and bringing them down into the world.
As a movement educator and movement therapist, Rachel creates a nurturing space where everyone is welcome to come as they are. Rachel’s decades of training and teaching experience, her refined intuition and attention to the unique needs of each student allow her to facilitate subtle shifts that can open up spacious new possibilities.
Rachel has been practicing Yoga for 25 years. Since she began teaching 15 years ago, she’s taught thousands of public and private yoga classes to moms, musicians, athletes, billionaires and homeless people. She’s completed 3 Yoga Teacher Trainings, 12 Vipassana Meditation Courses and studied directly with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India. She graduated with a BFA Honours in Acting from the U of A, and holds an MFA in Interdisciplinary Studies, Thesis: "ROOM TO BREATHE: A Retreat for Educators" from UBC Okanagan (She was awarded the prestigious Canadian Graduate Scholarship for her research).
Before becoming a yoga teacher, Rachel was an actor/singer/dancer/clown performing in more than 30 professional productions with world class companies like Cirque du Soleil. Since 2015 she’s been the Artistic Director of a thriving Performing Arts program at the Vernon Community Music School. Rachel has also completed her Level 1 Training in Spacial Dynamics with Jaimen McMillan. Rachel brings her expertise as a performing artist and a movement educator to all of her unique offerings… whether she’s presenting at a conference for Educators, facilitating women’s retreats or working one-on-one with anyone who’s ready to break through their own personal glass ceiling and transform their whole lives into a work of Art.
She enjoys writing, making pottery, gardening and quality time with her joyful husband and magical daughter.

Sarah has facilitated over 30 retreats. Sarah’s presence gives you permission to BE, to rest in who you are, as you are. Her words invite a deepening of self-reflection, gently pointing towards courageous transformative action. She brings deep curiosity, a compassionate heart, and a unique ability to truly see people, to serve her clients as they uncover truth within themselves that they might not have otherwise discovered. She leads with grace and is not afraid of the fullness of a person.
She led her first women’s circle over 20 years ago, and has spent her life in a practice of creating safe space for others to come home to themselves. When she trained and certified as a coach in 2014 she discovered that she already was a coach by nature: asking powerful questions, challenging the status quo, seeing the potential in everyone, and motivating real action.
Sarah is wholeheartedly engaged in working on herself: open to be transformed by every experience. This practice yields wisdom that she shares with an authority and integrity that is well beyond her years. Sarah offers this total attentiveness and deep care to each of her clients, guiding them joyfully toward embodying the clarity of vision that rises to the surface whenever she is around. Sarah has a very unusual capacity to sustain her attention on the divinity within any given situation, revealing surprising clarity of vision and deep integrated healing.
