ALIGNMENT: A Spring Equinox Retreat for Embodied Balance & Authentic Connection
March 19th–23rd, 2026 | Folk Tree Lodge, Bragg Creek, AB
Facilitated by Jen Reddish, Registered Master Therapeutic Counsellor & Forest Therapy Practitioner with Special Guest Contributors (TBA)
Step into the balance of the Spring Equinox at ALIGNMENT, a retreat designed to help you reconnect with your authenticity - the essence of who you are. In the sacred pause of the season’s shift, this immersive weekend invites you to align with your body, emotions, relationships, spirit, and the wisdom of nature.
What sets this retreat apart is the intimacy and personal touch. With a small group of women, this retreat offers a safe, nurturing space for deep connection and transformation. You’ll be seen and held in your journey, with personalized attention, tailored experiences, and the opportunity to explore at your own pace. This is a space where you can truly slow down, tune in, and become deeply aligned with your authentic self.
Nestled in the serene forests of Bragg Creek, a short drive from Calgary, this retreat is an opportunity to slow down and completely attune to the rhythms of nature and your inner world. Over the weekend, you will engage in a rich variety of practices that foster deep connection with yourself, others, and nature. The retreat weaves together somatic therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), forest therapy, creative expression through art therapy, and energy alignment, supported by both structured sessions and spacious downtime.
At the heart of the retreat lies a powerful Spring Equinox Ritual, a ceremonial circle where we honour the balance of light and dark, reflect on the shifts unfolding in our lives, and set intentions for the growth that is to come.
This retreat offers an invitation to explore and integrate alignment across multiple layers:
💠 Emotional – Cultivate attunement to your inner world with compassion and care.
💠 Relational – Connect with others in an atmosphere of authenticity and presence.
💠 Physical – Ground into the wisdom of your body and align your actions with your energy.
💠 Spiritual – Listen to your intuitive voice and align with your energetic truth.
💠 Nature – Harmonize with the cycles of the Earth and attune to her wisdom.
The weekend will be a nurturing space where you are supported — by the land, the group, and your own Self. This is a retreat for authentic connection, slow-paced moments of being, and transformative shifts that arise naturally through stillness and intention.
