Autumn Reflection Retreat, Thursday, October 9, 2025

Venue: near Sydenham, ON

Date: October 9th, 2025

Workshop presented: Autumn Reflection Retreat

After a short drive through a forested lane, arrive at this restorative autumn retreat designed to help you honour the inner tug you feel to take time away from the day-to-day and enter quiet, nature-connected spaces to rest, reflect, and recharge – and to connect with others who also value this desire to live thoughtfully and intentionally through the seasons ahead.

During this autumn retreat, you’ll have the opportunity to spend time “just being” – whether sitting by the lake with a cup of tea, walking the lane, relaxing by the woodstove indoors, or finding stillness in the meditation loft (requires physical flexibility to access).

The retreat also includes structured activities with guided reflection and writing designed to help you meet yourself with friendship and consider how you would like to move through the autumn season, plus expressive arts work (typically collage). Participants also have opportunities to share with each other during these guided portions.

This intimate retreat welcomes up to 4 adults who share the desire to honour their inner pull toward quiet spaces for recharging and reflection, and toward living more thoughtfully and intentionally.

Two participation options:

  • Structured retreat (3 hours): Join for the guided activities only
  • Full retreat day: Arrive early and stay for additional unstructured hours on the property – time for reading, journaling, creative work, meditation, lane walks, or simply being present by the lake or in the cozy guesthouse

Led by Tracy Riley, registered psychologist. Enjoy time outdoors by the lake and trees (weather permitting) and indoors in a cozy guesthouse warmed by wood stove.

Includes all materials, hot beverages, and seasonal reflection guide to take home.

$200 per participant

Location: Near Sydenham, Ontario (north of Kingston)
