The property sits right on the spring-fed, turquoise coloured lake with a sandy bottom, Sandy Lake. Also known as the "Lake of Spirits", the lake has been worshipped by the Indigenous People of this area for over thousands of years.

• A space where you don't have to shrink yourself.

• A space where you don't have to pretend or perform in ways that people want you to and actually show up for yourself

• A space where you can fully be vulnerable, in silence, or completely empty which is completely enough.

• A space where you can show up, as you are, without judgment, without ridicule, without fear of violence or containment.

• A space where you can just be and filled all the way up.

• A space where you can make new friends and build meaningful connections.

• Our experiences aim to create a safe and inclusive environment where individuals can feel comfortable being their authentic selves, without feeling judged or pressured to perform.

• The focus is on building a community where people can connect and support each other! This kind of environment can be especially beneficial for those who may feel marginalized or isolated in other areas of their lives. 

• Overall, it is a safe space for women-identifying souls plus their allies to explore their practice and connect with like-minded individuals.
