Haven Restorative Retreats

09/23/2026

Healing doesn’t only happen in the moment. Sometimes it happens in the reflection that follows.

At Haven Restorative Retreats, each retreat includes a thoughtfully created workbook designed to support you throughout the experience.

Inside, you’ll find psychoeducation, journaling prompts, reflection questions, and space to notice what is happening within you, without pressure to arrive at a particular answer.

Why include journaling and reflection?

Because nervous system work isn’t simply about learning new information. It’s also about developing greater awareness of our own patterns, needs, boundaries, sensations, emotions, and internal cues.

Throughout a Haven retreat, you may be invited to reflect after breathwork, mindful movement, guided meditation, nervous system education, or other experiential practices. These pauses create an opportunity to notice:

🌿 What am I experiencing right now?
🌿 What does safety or regulation feel like in my body?
🌿 What patterns am I beginning to recognize?
🌿 What might my nervous system be asking for?
🌿 What would I like to carry with me beyond today?

There is never an expectation to share what you write. Your workbook is yours, a private space for curiosity, reflection, and integration.

And it goes home with you.

My hope is that it becomes more than something you use during the retreat. It can be something you return to afterward as you continue practising, reflecting, and integrating what you discovered.

At Haven, the intention isn’t to “fix” yourself. It’s to create space to slow down, notice, connect, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself and your nervous system.

There’s a reason I was drawn to creating retreats.

Over the years, I’ve found retreats and group experiences to be an important part of my own healing and personal growth.

There is something powerful about intentionally stepping away from everyday responsibilities and entering a space where there is room to slow down, reflect, reconnect and simply be.

For me, community has also become an important part of wellbeing. Connecting with people who share similar values, learning alongside others, having meaningful conversations, and experiencing a sense of belonging can be incredibly restorative.

I’ve also learned that self-care isn’t only about what we do when we’re overwhelmed. It’s about creating practices, relationships and environments that support us along the way.

Being connected to my values.
Caring for my nervous system.
Making space for rest and reflection.
Continuing to learn about myself.
Finding community and connection.

These have all become fundamental parts of my own wellbeing journey.

And they’ve deeply influenced the way I create Haven Restorative Retreats.

My hope is to create spaces where people can step away from the demands of everyday life, connect with themselves and others, explore nervous system regulation, and leave with practices they can carry into their lives.

Not because we need to be regulated, productive or “well” all of the time, but because we all deserve spaces where our wellbeing gets to matter, too.

Community. Connection. Choice. Growth. Regulation.

That’s what I hope people experience when they come to Haven.

Something really special happened after our first Haven retreat…

Two of the guests who joined us for our Calgary Retreat have already chosen to come back and join us again in Bragg Creek.

When I created Haven, I hoped it would become more than a place people visited once.

I wanted to create a community, a space people could return to when they needed to slow down, reconnect with themselves, learn more about their nervous systems, and intentionally make room for restoration.

Seeing guests choose to return after experiencing Haven for the first time means so much to me.

And our community is growing.

Today, we gathered for the Animal Advocate Nervous System Retreat, a day created for people who care deeply about animals and the work of making the world a more compassionate place.

We spent the afternoon exploring nervous system regulation, compassion fatigue, rest, boundaries, and what it means to continue showing up for our values without losing ourselves in the process.

But what stood out to me most was the connection and community that formed in the room.

There were meaningful conversations, shared experiences, laughter, reflection, movement and moments of simply slowing down together. We talked about the emotional weight that can come with animal advocacy, while also reconnecting with the values that brought each of us to this work in the first place.

Values-based work matters deeply, and so does caring for the nervous system of the person doing it.

I’m incredibly grateful to everyone who trusted me to facilitate this space and who brought their openness, compassion and lived experience into the room. Hearing at the end of the day that attendees would like to gather again meant so much to me.

This was the first Animal Advocate Retreat through Haven Restorative Retreats, and I have a feeling it won’t be the last. 🐾🌱

Thank you for being part of the beginning. 💗

Restore your mind and body at Haven’s Canmore retreat—trauma-informed yoga, somatic therapy, and deep rest in a serene mountain setting.

You spend so much of your life being the person other people rely on.

The helper.
The professional.
The caregiver.
The advocate.
The person who holds everything together.

But where do you go when you need somewhere to land?

Haven was created with that question in mind.

Our November Canmore retreat is an opportunity to step outside of your usual responsibilities for a weekend and intentionally create space for your own nervous system.

Not because you need to be fixed.

Not because the goal is to feel calm every moment.

But because those of us who spend so much time supporting others deserve opportunities to be supported, too.

Through trauma-informed somatic practices, mindful movement, Yoga Nidra, meditation, psychoeducation, reflection, connection and intentional rest, we’ll explore ways of moving through activation and settling, and develop practices you can continue using long after the weekend ends.

And we’ll do it surrounded by the mountains of Canmore.

Haven Restorative Retreats | Canmore, Alberta

Two nights accommodation, breakfast each morning, two Nordic spa passes and approximately seven hours of facilitated programming included.

Limited to 12 participants.

Because sometimes the helper needs somewhere to exhale, too.

What would it feel like to have six hours where you didn’t have to take care of anyone else?

No rushing.
No productivity.
No pressure to be “on.”

Just space to slow down, reconnect and notice what your nervous system needs.

On October 25th, Haven is gathering in beautiful Bragg Creek for an afternoon dedicated to nervous system regulation.

Throughout the retreat, we’ll intentionally move through practices that may gently activate the nervous system and practices that invite settling and down-regulation, learning that regulation doesn’t mean staying calm all the time.

It means developing the capacity to notice where you are and having tools to support yourself through those shifts.

Our day will include trauma-informed mindful movement, somatic practices, breathwork, guided meditation, Yoga Nidra, reflection and connection.

Your retreat also includes:
🌿 A plant-based lunch
🌿 A guided workbook
🌿 A curated Haven gift
🌿 Small-group connection
🌿 A peaceful retreat setting in Bragg Creek

Early Bird: $295 until September 15

A Day at Haven

Nurture your mind, body & spirit.

At Haven, each practice is offered with intention.

Rather than focusing on staying calm all the time, we explore what it means to move with the natural rhythms of the nervous system.

Throughout a retreat, some practices may gently invite us toward activation, energy, movement, engagement and connection. Others invite down-regulation, slowing, softening, grounding and rest.

Because regulation doesn’t mean being relaxed all the time.

Our nervous systems naturally fluctuate throughout the day. Sometimes we may feel activated, restless or overwhelmed. At other times, we may feel depleted, disconnected or low in energy. Both are part of being human.

Through gentle titration exercises, we practice experiencing manageable amounts of activation and settling, building awareness of what our bodies need and exploring ways to move toward greater regulation.

A day at Haven may weave together:

🌿 Breath practices
🌿 Mindful movement
🌿 Somatic exercises
🌿 Grounding and sensory practices
🌿 Guided meditation
🌿 Yoga Nidra and deep rest
🌿 Reflection and nervous system education
🌿 Connection, community and moments of stillness

There is no expectation to feel one particular way.

Instead, we create opportunities to notice, explore, choose and respond, nurturing the mind, body and spirit while developing practices that can continue long after the retreat ends.

Rest. Restore. Return to You.
