Eastern Ontario Day Retreat
Back into the Flow
Spend a full day with us as we return to what moves, and come back into the flow.
Oct 17, 2026 | 10am-4pm | Carp Ridge EcoWellness Centre | Carp, Ontario
An embodied journey…
Through movement, reconnection with our chakra energy, and nature-based creation.
A practice of arriving, sensing, making, witnessing and releasing.
Move freely
Chakra Dance meditation is not about dancing a certain way.
Through movement, breath and sound, we will connect with our chakra energy and ignite our essence. Creating a space to express freely, move and release, and simply BE.
No choreography required.
(Blindfolds are highly encouraged for an inward experience)
We will slow down, notice what is here…
We will create art with nature as a collaborator.
Working together with the elements, we will let creativity become a form of listening, a way to reconnect with ourselves, to explore what is moving within, and make space for what is emerging.
A day of movement, nourishment and creativity:
Cacao to open the heart and creativity
Chakra Dance Meditation: release, align, ignite.
A nourishing Lunch
Elemental Creating: where art, nature and feeling meet.
Connection with Self and Community
What you’ll leave with…
Space to breathe, reflect, and reconnect.
A deeper connection to yourself through movement and creativity.
A new awareness that changes the way you inhabit your life.
An appreciation for the process (presence), over the final product.
A lighter heart, after inviting the ebbs and flows of your essence to move.

You don't need any experience with art to do this work with me. What you already have is enough: your attention, your senses, and your willingness to slow down and notice what’s here, in your body and in your surroundings. From that noticing, something new can take shape, and feelings that are hard to name can find somewhere to go.
I offer patience, attentiveness, and decades of trusting that people find their own way when given the space to do so. You don't need to have it all figured out to create something true here. You only need to be willing to begin.

I believe in your power to heal. I offer guidance with transparency and honesty. No room for judgment, just love.
I am a Reiki Master, Breathwork facilitator, and Integrative Coach.
With decades of working with families, being a GenX Mom who gets it, and years of my own healing journey behind me, I meet you where you are with compassion, awe, and belief in your innate capacity.
I look forward to meeting you!

Suzanne holds space in a way that feels safe, spacious, and deeply human.
I didn’t expect to feel so moved by creating with natural materials, but something in me opened. I found myself starting to let go of things I’d been carrying for a long time.
