SPOTS LIMITED TO 8 PARTICIPANTS
The Spring Equinox
marks a shift
Light begins to return.
Energy slowly rises.
It’s a natural time to recalibrate.
This retreat is a quiet, intentional way to honour that shift in your body, your nervous system, and your inner life.
When Health in Balance was built, the space was designed intentionally larger.
Not just for waiting.
For gathering.
For community.
For sharing space with heart-centred people without needing to be in crisis.
This day retreat is an extension of that intention.
A space to come together simply because you want to feel well.
Clear.
Connected.
What the day includes
Each part of the day is designed to help you feel your light and not just think about it. To remember that joy, love, and visibility are not things we chase but qualities we cultivate.
GENTLE KUNDALINI YOGA
YOGA NIDRA WITH LIVE MUSIC
GUIDED CREATIVE INVITATIONS
MEANINGFUL CONVERSATION
NOURISING LUNCH
No rigid timetable. No pressure to perform. No need to “be good” at yoga or creativity.
Just space to move your body. Settle your nervous system. Notice what is quietly emerging inside you.
Many people think meditation is stillness…
And creativity is expression.
In truth, they grow from the same root: awareness.
The ability to look deeply.
To see beyond the ordinary.
To notice the small “seeds” inside you that may have felt dormant over winter.
This day gives you space to let those seeds stretch toward the light.

Frequently Asked Questions
Nope! This isn’t a “you must sit cross-legged and know all the Sanskrit” kind of day. Everything will be guided gently, with options for real people and real bodies.
There’s a little magic in the air (it is the Spring Equinox, after all), but we keep things grounded and sincere. Think nature, presence, and meaningful moments—not incense and mystery chants (unless you’re into that).
Your beautiful self, comfy clothes you can move and rest in, a yoga mat if you have one (we’ll have extras), a water bottle, and maybe a journal. We'll take care of the rest—including lunch and craft supplies.
We’ll be doing a gentle Kundalini Yoga set—focused more on breath, awareness, and energy than on flexibility or strength. It's accessible, beginner-friendly, and deeply enlivening.
It’s like a guided nap for your nervous system. You’ll lie down, get cozy, and be led into a deeply restorative state. It’s science-backed, soul-soothing, and... honestly, kind of magic.
Not at all. Just come with an open heart (and maybe a little curiosity). This day is about presence, connection, and honouring what’s real—not performing any particular belief system.
Yes please. Many do. And you’ll likely leave with some unexpected soul-friends.
You’ll be invited to share your name during the welcome circle—but that’s it. There’s no pressure to speak or share beyond that. This day is a gift to yourself, not a spotlight moment.
We’ll do our best to accommodate common dietary needs. When you register, you can let us know what’s needed. While we can’t promise every request will be met, we’ll be in touch if we need to offer alternatives.
This retreat is located and profits from being on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishnawbe and Haudenosaunee peoples. Its organizers are grateful for its use, and are committed to learning and walking in truth, and participating in reconciliation.
