Connect to… Spirit. Nature. Culture.

Join me in Neyaashiinigmiing, Home of the Chippewas of Nawash, to connect with the waters, the land, and the Anishinaabek people… I acknowledge the Territory of the Anishinaabek Nation: The People of the Three Fires known as Ojibway, Odawa, and Pottawatomie Nations. And further give thanks to the Chippewas of Saugeen, and the Chippewas of Nawash, known collectively as the Saugeen Ojibway Nation, as the traditional keepers of this land.

SUP & Soul Wilderness Retreat

Where: Neyaashiinigmiing (Cape Croker Park)
When: July 9-11 (2 nights)
Price: $400 + HST (per person)

A unique experience and immersion of adventure - and cultural history through storytelling, learning practical wilderness skills - and camping under the stars!

Here’s what’s included:

  • Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) Lessons… by a Paddle Canada certified Advanced SUP instructor

  • Yoga… To stretch and tune into your body, beginner-friendly

  • Mala Workshop… Infused with lasting memories and inspired mantras

  • Dream Catcher Workshop... Have you ever wondered how (or why) dream catchers are made? Make your own traditional Dream Catcher with locally foraged Red Osier Dogwood and sinew.

  • Interpretive Hikes... The Anishinaabek people have a deep connection to and knowledge of the natural world. Join an Anishinaabe guide on this unique hike to enjoy the amazing views from the 100-ft high bluffs, find and identify wildlife signs, and take in a landscape carved out during the last ice age. While exploring this trail within the traditional Anishinaabek territory, you will learn about many plants used for food, tools, medicine, and ceremonies.

  • Wilderness Skills / Fire Lighting... Fire played a vital role in the traditional lives of the Anishinaabek people. It is used for cooking, preparation of medicines, tool making, and ceremonies. These traditional uses continue to this day. Learn how to make fire with all-natural materials and with historic trade items.

  • Free to time to relax, journal, and chat with your new friends!

  • And as part of our Welcome Meet & Greet… Homemade bannock and locally made jellies!

Other notes…

CANCELLATION POLICY: This retreat is a beautiful surprise to share with you - but with it being less than 30 days away, the cancellation policy is somewhat limited. So… If you need to cancel (as life has a way of throwing curve balls!), let’s do our best to find someone to fill your spot. For two weeks or more prior to the date AND if we are able to find a replacement participant, you’ll receive a refund, less a 20% cancellation fee. For less than two weeks prior to the arrival date or no-shows, it’s too short of a notice to find someone to fill your spot and therefore, refunds are not available. This cancellation policy applies even in the event of a medical problem or family circumstance.

COVID: We will adhere to public health unit recommendations as your safety and wellbeing is important to us.

WAIVER: Everyone must sign waivers prior to joining the retreat - and be comfortable in the water, able to swim 50m.
