Join Janeva Faircloth for a restorative winter weekend away amongst the snowy treetops of Algonquin Park
A communal observation of silence + sound, creativity + play, reaching restful depths, and drawing from yogic wisdom.
The Nature of Things invites you into a slower, more spacious way of being. Days unfold with gentle yoga, meditation, creative practice, nourishing meals, and time outside exploring Algonquin Park.
Through Janeva's Sound Meditation Training with Kiko Pace, a recent artist residency at Gibraltar Point Centre for the Arts on Toronto Island, and a 10-Day Vipassana retreat, she has solidified a foundation of knowledge around the practices of stillness, deep listening, creative exploration and cultivating space for what emerges in the quiet.
Janeva (she/they) is a dedicated student of rest, a light-hearted meditator, and an experienced yoga teacher with a deep commitment to trauma-informed, consent-based teaching. You might recognize her from the Good Space schedule, where she teaches restorative and Yin yoga on Tuesday + Thursday nights.
Janeva has excitedly drawn inspiration for this retreat from her Sound Meditation Training with Kiko Pace, a recent artist residency at Gibraltar Point Centre for the Arts on Toronto Island, and a 10 Day Vipassana retreat.
The Nature of Things takes place at Northern Edge in the heart of Algonquin Park on Kawawaymog Lake.
There are four different kinds of accommodations that offer both shared + private options: Studio, Habitat and Canopy Cabins and the Dreamer's Hill Suite. See the run down of each option here.
A typical day balances guided practices with open space. Embrace the reflective, inward qualities of the season through restorative yoga, meditation, sound bathing, breathwork, journalling, creative practice, and reading, while nurturing your adventurous spirit with forest bathing, snowshoeing, ice skating, and wood-fired sauna sessions.
Rides are not included in the retreat cost but, as most of our community is coming from Toronto, we help facilitate carpooling through a shared spreadsheet that is organized before departure. So far we have not had to leave anyone behind :)
The food is a main event at Northern Edge with a focus on locally sourced, freshly prepared, and nutritious, "farm-to-table" meals. The menu changes based on the season, focusing on high-quality ingredients with ample, hearty, and healthy options provided for breakfast, lunch and dinner, catering to diverse dietary needs.
Pack for warmth, comfort and ease. Bring cozy clothes and plenty of warm layers for wintertime in Algonquin Park, plus comfortable, breathable attire for yoga and other practices.
You’re also welcome to bring a book you’ve been meaning to sink into or a creative project you’d like some uninterrupted time with but these items are optional.
Shared rooms start at $1,254 and private rooms at $1,514 until December 1 using the code GOODSPACE150 at checkout.
