WHY COME Women come to our retreats looking for ways to improve their lives. Participant feedback confirms time and again that while on retreat women develop clarity, insight, awareness, learn valuable tools, and enjoy much needed R&R. Women love the opportunities to walk the gentle grounds, linger over a delicious meal, rest deeply and enjoy private time to reconnect. Many women are prompted to take a retreat because a personal situation points to time away, time to look inwards, time to make room to grow. Concerns about family, work, body image, relationships, career, changes, loss, disappointments, exhaustion, and other issues feel significantly lighter with professional, compassionate support.

WHERE We start with an exquisitely healing environment. Thirteen Moons Culinary Retreat is located in Ontario's beautiful Kawartha district. The A-frame building welcomes you, surrounded by 186 acres of rambling countryside and mature cedar groves. The diversity of nature, including the creek, marshland, stone labyrinth, local herons, loons and wild turkeys, and country roads beckon opportunity for meditative reflection in the embracing quiet. More... If you are what you eat, our cuisine definitely sets us apart. Our host, certified nutritional consultant and cookbook author, Louise Racine, creates extraordinary vegetarian meals that are creatively prepared, thoughtful and hearty, an expression of her unwavering commitment to sound nutritional wisdom and garden-fresh organic offerings.

WHAT YOU EXPERIENCE The most common healing experience a woman has on an Aziza retreat is that she no longer feels alone. Hearing other women talk from the heart cannot be underestimated as a powerful way to feel connected through our shared humanity. One of the most empowering experience is to understand that you can positively shift your life perspective with conscious, thoughtful exploration of potentially self-limiting attitudes or beliefs. This is called Self Knowledge. The most liberating experience a woman has on our retreats is recognizing the patterns she unconsciously repeats that interfere with and separate her from living her best life. A whole new world opens when a woman realizes she's got brand new, healthy, life affirming options to consider as she moves forward.
HOW WE HELP YOU IMPROVE YOUR LIFE Self-discovery sessions are designed to nurture feelings of self-acceptance, self-compassion and personal empowerment. Our Therapeutic creativity sessions uniquely set us apart. We creatively explore any subject on which you desire to have more clarity by using fun and playful materials like paint and collage. More... Women with limited creative experience are constantly amazed at how much they enjoy expressing themselves with colour and texture,. Most participants are pleasantly surprised by the depth and relevance of what they learn from their creations. Women often remark that the short time spent on an Aziza retreat was just as, if not more useful, than months and years of other personal growth options they've tried.
BALANCE & YOU Itineraries that balance activities and free time clearly sets us apart. Experiencing balance is often what women need- just for a change of pace. Occasionally, women who are used to working really hard on a tight schedule, who find value in tangible accomplishments, who feel value in 'doing', find this quieter aspect of a retreat challenging. Yet this is one of the most crucial ingredients of our success. Being is what we mean by experiencing balance, and it's a much more subtle way to spend time. LIfe happens moment by moment. Balance allows you to be here, now. Here, in this present moment, is where your life can actually be found. We help you get here. Back into your real life. The women's weekend getaway allows you time to rest, play, feel, write, explore, dream, remember and BE. Meditate while walking through a stone labyrinth, dive deeper with a private Reiki session, make wonderful new friends, connect to nature and rediscover your self.
You are definitely worth some time out, time in and time away. Click here to find out if our Retreats are right for you. Your investment of time, money and energy is a very important decision.
