Awaken

The Sacred

come as you are,
leave completely renewed

 

▼ 
3 Nights
Aug 7th - 10th
Loretto Maryholme Retreat Centre
 All-Inclusive Retreat 
Awaken The Sacred is a 3-night spiritual retreat, activated by the Lion’s Gate Portal and the Full Moon, designed to nourish your nervous system, reconnect you with the parts of yourself you’ve had to tuck away, and awaken the archetypes within you that are ready to rise.

You're really good at holding it all together. Tucking away your worry and dysregulation like a total expert. 

You've made it your life's mission to ensure everyone else around you is taken care of, and you're good at it. Sometimes too good. 

Your body is feeling tired. Your soul is craving space. Your inner child is whispering something but you haven't got the stillness to hear.

It’s time for something different.
Something softer. Something sacred. Something for you.
I Need This!

Awaken The Sacred is the kind of full-self renewal where:

 

You reconnect with your inner wisdom and no longer second-guess your intuition.

You feel calm in your body, regulated in your nervous system, and deeply grounded in who you truly are.

You remember that your power isn’t tied to how much you do, but how deeply you know and trust yourself.

You return to your family, your work, your life not depleted, but full.

You start showing up as a woman who feels worthy of slowness, reverence, and sacred space, even in the everyday.

 
Renewed means coming home changed.
 
Not because someone told you what to do… But because you finally had the space to hear yourself again.

our sacred intentions

To Reclaim the Sacred Self

This retreat invites you to return to the parts of yourself that you've intentionally and unintentionally tucked away. The intuitive, sensual, mystical, creative self that’s been buried under busyness, performance, and pressure of all the things. Through ritual, rest, and reflection, we make space for her to rise up.

To Explore the Archetypes Within

When we meet these versions of ourselves that we've so neatly tucked away, our concept of identity tends to shift. It's important that we truly connect with these new concepts and let each part of you breathe without judgment. It's here that you’ll meet yourself more fully and walk away more in love with yourself than you've ever been before.

To Restore our Nervous System

This retreat does not have a jam-packed itinerary. It's an intentional, well-held container where your nervous system can exhale. Whether you’re walking the sacred labyrinth, floating in the lake, or journaling in the sunroom, every part of this retreat is designed to help you slow down enough to hear yourself clearly, perhaps for the first time ever.

This Was Made For Me.

the location

Awaken The Sacred will be held on sacred land just north of Keswick, Ontario, nestled on a hilltop above a beautiful lake and surrounded by forest at the beautiful Loretto Maryholme Retreat Centre.

Those of us who've attended retreats here before will lovingly referred to this space as a grandmother's cottage because the moment you pull in and see the gorgeous house you feel completely at peace.

Your body softens, shoulders drop. You exhale deeply and you know you're going to be scooped up into a warm hug the moment you open that door.

Daily Rituals

Each day offers sacred space to slow down and reconnect. Walk the labyrinth, journal with intentional prompts, or simply sit with yourself in stillness. You choose how to anchor in.

Plenty of Spaciousness

This retreat is intentionally unhurried. You’ll have ample time to wake up slowly, rest, wander, swim, read, or simply breathe. No rushing. No priorities for other people. Just space to be you.

Sound Healing + Voice Activation

Madison Ryley will be joining us for a sound healing and voice activation experience designed to unlock your voice, release fear and awaken your truest expression. 

Symbolic Archetype Exploration

Dedicated group and alone time will be spent exploring the sacred roles you play and the parts of you ready to rise. This is deep inner work, made gentle and accessible.

A Sacred Soul Flow Session

Nicola Ceccarelli will be joining us on our first night together for a guided experience that blends intuitive movement, energy healing, and creative expression. 

Cosmic Circles

Lindsay will guide two powerful circles throughout the weekend. One to anchor the energy of the Lion’s Gate Portal, and one to release under the Full Moon. If you've been to her circles before, you know these are nothing short of soul-shaking.

Delicious, Nourishing Meals

Meals are nourishing and rooted in togetherness. Some will be lovingly prepared for you, and others we will co-create family-style. *Please be mindful that with the retreat only one week away, food allergies / sensitivities may be more challenging to accomodate.

Sacred Sisterhood

This isn’t a silent, solemn space filled with boring humans. It’s alive with laughter, connection, and real talk. You’ll be surrounded by women who get it, and who just might reflect back parts of you you’ve been longing to see.

Nervous System Regulation

Karen Hicks, HeartMath Certified Trainer and Accredited EFT Practitioner will guide us through a powerful workshop that invites us into our natural rhythms to create harmony in our body, our mind and our emotions, anchoring all versions of self.

Sister, you need to know... we’re not coming here to fix anything. That's boring.
We’re coming to sing, laugh, sit quietly, breathe deep, anchor in and walk away feeling like an unrecognizable version of ourselves.

The first retreat I ever attended was at Loretto Maryholme. It was the start of my self-healing journey in 2017, a burntout social worker about to move back in with her parents after an awful breakup. My journey was anything but subtle. The Universe knows when it wants me to listen it's got to make things virtually unbearable.

I dove head first into healing, went full-time into entrepreneurship offering energy healing and women's circles. This quickly turned into retreats. Now, this will be my 15th women's retreat that I've hosted and it couldn't come at a more perfect time.

Over the past year I've been going through a huge identity uplevel myself. I've been navigating the discomfort of unearthing past versions of myself to heal and release and I've been discovering the truth of who I truly am at my core. I'm a pure embodiment of the work that we are going to be doing while resting and replenishing at this retreat, so that we can resurface completely renewed.  

I am excited to hold this space with you and for you to meet the beautiful women who will be joining you on this sacred journey.
