Disconnect To Reconnect Silent Retreat at Nectar

Session 1— December 9-13, 2024

Join us for a transformative 5-night Silent Retreat at Nectar. Align with the quietude of the late Autumn season, fostering inner gentleness and intuitive insight. Experience the beauty of the forest here on Nexwlélexwm (Bowen Island), as you immerse yourself in silence and simplification, allowing yourself the gift of conscious deceleration. This retreat invites you to disconnect from any electronic devices, creating space for a deeper connection with nature, yourself, and the present moment.

What the Silent Retreat Includes:

  • 6 days, 5 nights of immersion in the natural, with private accommodation.
  • Day-long invitations for self-guided explorations into your inner landscape, embracing quiet and deliberate slowness that often opens doors to insights, inner wisdom, and nourishing clarity.
  • Simple, plant-based meals—a self-serve breakfast and lunch, culminating each day with a shared family-style dinner.
  • The Dome and Onyx Lodge provide additional sanctuary for personal practices, such as meditation, journaling, and reading.
  • Daily digital detox, allowing yourself an optional hour of digital connection during your otherwise intention to unplug.
  • The opportunity to explore the serene expanse of Nectar’s forested grounds, offering the perfect backdrop for your journey inward.
  • Those seeking additional guidance and support, the option for private conversations with Andrea Clark, co-founder of Nectar, to delve deeper into personal growth and self-discovery.
