RESTORATION

A retreat for women in healthcare and helping professions to step away from the roles and pressures they carry and make space to simply be.

Time to restore in your own way, where everything is an invitation and nothing is expected.

Restoration is a two-day retreat for women in healthcare and helping professions who spend their working lives caring for, supporting, and guiding others. It’s an opportunity to step away from the demands of work and everyday life, slow down, and give yourself space to rest, replenish, and reconnect. Through nature, creativity, gentle movement, reflection, and meaningful connection, you can explore what restoration looks like for you while supporting your nervous system and tending to your own well-being.

There’s no pressure to participate in everything, make the most of every moment, or arrive with anything to work on. Explore the spaces that interest you, connect with other women who understand the realities of your work, or give yourself permission to do absolutely nothing. Everything is an invitation, nothing is expected, and your experience is yours to create. This is time for you, on your terms.

The Experience

Across the two days, you’ll find a variety of guided sessions and self-directed spaces to explore at your own pace. Choose from creative art and sensory exploration, intuitive writing and guided journaling, restorative yoga, somatic experiencing, sound baths, and guided forest therapy. You’ll also have access to dedicated spaces for rest, quiet reflection, sauna, nature, and meaningful connection with other women who understand the realities of your work.

There’s no expectation to attend everything or follow a set schedule. You choose what feels right for you in each moment, whether that means joining a guided session, exploring something new, spending time outdoors, or simply resting.

Choose Your Experience

You can join us for Saturday, Sunday, or the full two-day experience. Lunch and beverages are included each day.

• Saturday: $225 — four scheduled session times

• Sunday: $179 — three scheduled session times

• Full weekend: $369 — access to both days of the retreat

You can also join us for RESTORATION AFTER DARK on Saturday evening ($75), featuring dinner, authentic conversation, and an optional 90s dance party. It’s an opportunity to connect with other women in a relaxed setting and enjoy a little fun together.

Limited on-site cabin accommodation is available as a separate add-on for those who would like to stay Friday and Saturday nights. Give yourself the option to arrive early, settle into the surroundings, and enjoy more time away from your usual responsibilities.

The Setting

RESTORATION is held at one of our favourite places, The Folk Tree Lodge in Bragg Creek, Alberta. Nestled in nature just a short drive outside of Calgary, it’s a place that invites you to slow down and exudes a sense of restoration from the moment you drive in.

Surrounded by nature and thoughtfully designed spaces, The Folk Tree Lodge offers the perfect setting to step away from your everyday surroundings and settle into a weekend of rest, reconnection, and renewal.

Choose the experience that works for you, whether that’s one day, the full weekend, or a little more time to settle into the experience. We look forward to welcoming you to RESTORATION.
