Have a few questions? No problemo! Take a few seconds to scroll through and see if our FAQ helps you out. If you don't see what you need, feel free to e-mail us!
What about COVID?
We have kept the number of registrants to only 5 so that you can feel more comfortable. The retreat location, Gaia Wellness, is following all provincially mandated regulations in terms of safety.
The yoga and gathering spaces allow us to physically distance, and you can wear masks at all times if that makes you feel the most comfortable.
You can also book your own private cabin if you'd like, for an additional fee of $150. (THERE ARE A FINITE AMOUNT OF THESE, SO PLEASE LET US KNOW ASAP)
We will be sending out a screening form to all participants 3 days prior to the event, and you will need to sign a waiver upon arrival stating that:
1. You have no symptoms of COVID
2. You have not been in contact with anyone who has tested positive for COVID in the last 14 days
3. You have not travelled outside the country within the last 14 days, or been in contact with anyone who has returned to Canada in the past two weeks
Are there payment plans available?
Yes! If you look at the the "Join Us" page, you'll see the different options we have available for you!
What will we be eating?
All of our meals will be catered by Gaia Wellness's in house caterer. They are all vegetarian and happy to adjust to any food requirements you may have, including Gluten Free, Dairy Free and Vegan.
How long is the drive from Ottawa?
Gaia Wellness Retreat is located just outside of Wakefield on a gorgeous, private lot and is about a 40 minute drive from downtown Ottawa. If you want to learn more about Gaia Wellness, visit their page.

WIFI is available, but only in the main lodge.
How do the sleeping accommodations work?

Am I required to participate in the yoga?
You are not absolutely required to participate in any of the sessions we offer, but you are strongly encouraged to do so. We have left space in the schedule for lots of solo reflection time, so we hope you'll make the most of the time we do have together.
What if I can't arrive until later on the Friday night?
Registration is from 4-5pm on the Friday and there will be introductions made at around 5, but you are welcome to arrive later if necessary. If you want to eat dinner, you'll need to arrive before 7pm.
Am I a good fit for this event?
This retreat is open to women of any age and background who want to grow as people, but need some clarity, guidance and community. If that feels like you, you are the perfect fit.
I'm not biologically a woman, but I identify as one. Can I come?
Yes, absolutely! This is a meant to be an inclusive, safe space to build support and connect with our community.
What if I don't know anyone else who can come? Is it alright to come alone?
Absolutely. We are not just helping individuals move forward, this is about creating community.
