Serenity Retreat

A Mindful Weekend of Hatha Yoga - Breathwork | Hypnotherapy | Nidra | Elemental Cleansing

🙏 Event sold out, thank you for all your support 🙏

Every so often, we need a break from our familiar surroundings to listen within and allow space for transformation.

Inye is excited to host our first yoga retreat at the beautiful Harmony Dawn. An opportunity to move away from the constant hum of city life, to the AUM of the Cosmic rhythm. Serenity retreat is a practice for you to be surrounded by stillness (in nature), eat nutritious fresh food, practice yoga (including hypnoyoga and yoga nidra), and introspection.

Harmony Dawn is on 50 acres of rolling meadows and forests. It is completely self-sufficient and off the power grid. The country air boasts one of the highest oxygen levels in Ontario. Their scenic Rice Lake is relatively shallow, and you are welcome to take a swim. The delicious homemade meals are made of herbs and vegetables grown on the property and surrounding local organic farms.

This is a time for your inner evolution.

Harmony Dawn was built in 2003 and was custom designed as a green retreat centre, using most of the sustainable energy technologies available. It was voted one of the greenest buildings in Canada. It also incorporates the owners' Feng-shui and Yin-Yang knowledge, 

The Yoga Studio: The studio is bermed into the top of the hill, while the front offers sunny, expansive views of rolling hills through their 10-foot, floor-to-ceiling, high-tech windows. You feel as if you are sitting out in a high, open meadow and foxes, turkeys, and deer occasionally walk by. Berming is the technique of totally or partially covering a building in earth to take advantage of the temperature of the earth, 55 F or 13 C., through all seasons. Their studio also has radiant-heated floors, which can adjust to the required room temperature. There is a living “green roof” over the studio.

Accommodations: Their central pod houses the living room, bedrooms and washrooms and is also partially bermed. All floors boast large windows; all washrooms have heated floors. There is a wood-burning, glass-windowed masonry fireplace in the living room, which heats all three floors. Please let us know your preference to stay with another practitioner(s), we will do our best to honour the request.

Meals: Nicola has had a life-long passion for food and cooking going back to her childhood. She has worked in the food industry, had her own catering company, and found the perfect outlet for her food passion and knowledge as Chef of Harmony Dawn. Her cuisine encompasses international cooking from across the planet and speciality diets, including lacto-vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, macrobiotic and more. She is a passionate advocate for fresh, local and organic food whenever possible. At HD, they grow a selected variety of organic herbs and vegetables and have access to a wider variety within the local organic farming community.
