When you need more than just a break… When you need true restoration for both mind and body… This comprehensive day retreat offers the perfect blend of movement, nourishment, and nature to help you find your way back to balance.

Now in its third year, this beloved retreat has become a cornerstone experience for those seeking genuine holistic wellness. The day unfolds thoughtfully, beginning with a welcoming circle where you'll connect with fellow participants and set meaningful intentions before settling into guided meditation and breathwork that prepares your entire being for the journey ahead.

The morning's energizing vinyasa practice focuses on connecting movement to breath, awakening your body while clearing stagnant energy to restore harmony and fluidity. This isn't just physical movement, it's a moving meditation designed to help you find grace in both your practice and your daily life.

Lunch at this retreat goes beyond simple nourishment, offering health insights and practical takeaways you can bring home, including recipes to continue supporting your wellness journey. During your post-lunch free time, you can explore the island's natural beauty or simply rest and integrate.

The afternoon's restorative flow and deeply healing Yoga Nidra session work together to calm your nervous system and allow for profound rejuvenation. The experience concludes with a closing circle, providing a space to reflect on your transformation and honor the connections you've made.

Who is this event for? “Anyone seeking a pause from the busyness of life to reconnect with themselves, cultivate presence, restore balance,” Toronto Island Oasis’ Sierra Day shares. “It’s ideal for busy professionals, caregivers, or individuals experiencing stress or burnout. It’s suitable for those who are new to mindfulness, or seasoned practitioners — we welcome anyone seeking inner peace and self-discovery.”

This retreat recognizes that true wellness requires attention to both nutrition and movement, offering a holistic approach that addresses your body's need for nourishing food designed to restore energy, reduce inflammation, and support hormonal balance.
