WHERE:

NECTAR YOGA RETREAT CENTRE. Nectar Yoga Retreat is a healing space that sits on 20 acres of forested land on Bowen Island, just a short 20 minute ferry ride from Vancouver.

CHECK IN AT 3PM + CHECK OUT AT 11AM

WHAT IS INCLUDED

5 YOGA PRACTICES:

Pei will be leading you through 5 movement practices consisting of her signature Yoga classes: Immerse Flow, Immerse Power, and Immerse Restore. Movement practices will be 75mins incorporating breathing exercises, meditation, and mindfulness techniques. Each class will be themed to set an intention for the day/evening. Feel free to bring your own Yoga mat/accessories for your practice (i.e. props) if you prefer to use your own, there will be sanitized mats and props available to use on site.

2 SOUNDBATH | SOUND THERAPY SESSIONS:

Pei will guide you through 2 Immersive Sound Healing sessions after each Immerse Restore class. These sessions will be infused with crystal singing bowls, planetary gongs, chimes, and much more. Sound healing is the practice of using different sounds to improve your physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. The sounds offered during the sessions are an invitation to immerse yourself in a deeper state of consciousness, an opportunity to balance out your energy centers (chakras) and fully drop into the present moment.

NOURISHING MEALS:

During your retreat, delicious and nourishing plant-based meals will be created and served. The menus change with the seasons, so you can expect to enjoy delicious, enticing plant-based foods that reflect the bounty of the land. Most allergies can be accommodated, although we cannot cater to special diets like “Keto or Smoothies only”. All dishes can be made with vegan and/or gluten-free options. Nectar Yoga’s kitchen is a strictly meat and fish free facility. Please specify your dietary restrictions before arrival. 

GROUP ACTIVITIES (REST + NATURE TIME): Nectar is surround by plentiful walking trails for us to explore both as a group or alone. We will have an afternoon were we will go on a Group Hike (optional) and chill by the lake (cold plunge for those of you who dare). If available we will have access to Nectar’s new Forest Bath (hot tub). There is also plenty of space to hang in the lounge or hammocks outside if you looking to rest during your free time. A Group Fire Ceremony will take place on our last night where we will mingle under the stars, reflect, and have some hot cocoa + s’mores!.

AMENITIES:

All cottages are equipped with bedding, towels and natural toiletries. Soap/shampoo/conditioner (infused with natural ingredients and essential oils will be provided.

ORACLE CARD READING:

Each guest will receive a personal Oracle Card reading with Pei. Oracle Cards can be used daily for reflection, meditation, and guidance. Each deck will come with a set of instructions so if you prefer to do the reading on our own, that is totally an option.

BONUS:

Our time spent will also include Mindfulness Lectures, Journaling, and Self Reflection. We will connect with ourselves and also as a group forming new connections, and cultivating new friendships.

RETREAT ADD ONS:

Additional treatments are available at your convenience. Balance your Energy Centers by booking a private Reiki session. Release tension by booking a private 1 hour massage. Please let me know if you are wanting to book these sessions at an additional cost.
