Hosted by MYndful Movement, this Women's Wellness Retreat is set to celebrate the radiant energy of the Summer Solstice and it being a special time of light, renewal, and empowerment.

Set against the inspiring backdrop of Oakville Galleries and nestled within the lush beauty of Gairloch Gardens, this sacred day provides the perfect environment to realign with personal intentions and embrace the warmth of the season.

Participants will enjoy a carefully curated program that invites them to immerse themselves in powerful mindfulness practices throughout the day. Guided meditation sessions help quiet the mind and tap into inner wisdom, while gentle yoga practices create harmony between body and spirit. The retreat also incorporates breathwork techniques that energize and balance the body's systems, alongside mindful eating practices that transform nourishment into a sacred act.

Nature walks along Lake Ontario's shore allow participants to absorb the healing qualities of the natural world, while sound healing sessions provide deep vibrational restoration. Each element of the day is thoughtfully designed by facilitator Deb Taylor to awaken clarity and joy while honouring the significance of the solstice.

Reflective exercises throughout the retreat help harness the solstice's energy for personal growth, allowing the vibrant summer energy to revitalize both body and soul. More than just a day of practices, this retreat offers a sacred pause—a chance to gather in sisterhood, embrace self-care, and step into personal power with intention and grace.

Surrounded by natural beauty and the uplifting presence of like-minded women, participants create a supportive community for transformation. By the retreat's conclusion, women leave feeling deeply recharged, inspired, and aligned with the rhythm of the season, carrying the solstice's light within them long after the day ends.

The inclusion of a healthy lunch adds to the sense of being pampered and supported throughout this special day dedicated to renewal and self-connection.
