Breathe, Move, Renew
As May unfolds in the Pacific Northwest, nature buzzes and hums. Soft rains give way to blooming wildflowers. Birdsong and frog chorus fill the atmosphere. The days lighten, warm, and stretch out. Hope, renewal, and possibility dance and swirl. The season is an ideal time to turn inward, attune to your heart’s song, and re-emerge.
This retreat is an invitation to step away from the demands of your daily living and into a space of deeper awareness and presence. You’ll have the opportunity to listen to your body, soften your mind, and align with the rhythm of the season. Whether you're here to deepen your practice, restore your nervous system, or simply rest, this time is yours.
Held in the nourishing stillness of Bowen Island, surrounded by forest trails, ocean views, and the grounding embrace of nature, this retreat offers more than rest — it offers return. Return to yourself. Return to earth. Return to the present moment where your life is happening.
Join me on this unique retreat, close to home and a world away!
Nestled in 20 acres of evergreen forest on Nexwlélexwm (Bowen Island), Nectar Yoga has hosted retreats since its founding in 2014. Founders have made it their life's work to know deeply and steward the forests and waterways of the surrounding area. As a retreat center, Nectar supports deep relaxation, connection to nature, and the cultivation of presence, peace, and community. Scandinavian-inspired cottages, tranquil indoor and outdoor gathering spaces, cozy geodesic yoga dome, lovingly-maintained nature trail, and curated vegetarian menus welcome you to land and return home to yourself.
Bowen Island is easy to access, a twenty minute ferry ride from Vancouver, BC.
