a collaboration of women here to light the way; holding space for the collective feminine to rise.

Imagine the goddess re-birthed; the feminine coming together in community and connection healing codes of sacred sister; giving each other permission to live all-the-way ON. This weekend is a sanctuary for the sacred. Honouring the feminine archetypes that we all dance through in life, no sister gets left behind. We're opening the portal Mother's Day Weekend.
Hidden in the forest on the lands of the Coast Salish First Peoples in Maple Ridge, Loon Lake is a hidden oasis. The peaceful and pristine glassy water and the melody of birds feel like an exhale and escape from the busy day-to-day. Spend your free time on the lake enjoying one of the many forest walks, or simply sitting or reading on one of the three docks overlooking the lake. Those that visit refer to Loon Lake as 'the Lower Mainland's best kept secret'. Loon Lake Lodge & Retreat Centre is a local destination for quiet reflection and a home for fresh air, clean water, and tall fir trees that frame the majestic Garibaldi Mountain Range. The lake holds a naturally transformational frequency you will tap into with all of your cells during our shamanic healing journey on the water
All meals provided by an in-house culinary team serving you with daily nourishment for breakfast, lunch, dinner + of course specializing in homemade delicious desserts. The kitchen is able to accommodate food allergies with advanced notice. Let us know what you need and know you will be well looked after.
"as a celiac, I was completely blown away by the tenderness, compassion and care that the culinary team at Loon Lake took to ensure I was safely nourished. Not only the meals, but the incredible dessert that I was shocked were safe for me to eat!"
- Kyra, after her first time at Loon Lake
This is for the woman who is ready to be in her sacred power.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
A weekend of connection, sisterhood and growth, the potency of these connections will be amplified by all of you who choose to give us your sacred yes. Kyra will be leading a somatic storytelling exercise to fully reclaim the goddess within, knowing that you are already everything you seek.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Rainbow will be guiding the way with heart-opening cacao to get us into our bodies for a beautiful rebirthing ceremony. We are holding the details of this celebration as sacred, so you'll have to trust the heart pull...
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Tapping into the healing potential of your hands and the deep wisdom of your body, Mel will be facilitating a self-massage journey to return to nourishment, acceptance, forgiveness, pleasure and a deep sense of self-love.
♡
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Here we release the shame codes and sisterhood wounding that has kept us small. There is so much in our individual and collective bodies that is ready to be alchemized through fire. This is where we transmute the fears: the comparison, the doubt, the judgement, the jealousy. All that is not in service to our collective remembering that we are stronger together. We are wounded relationally, we heal relationally; we were never meant to do it alone.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
A shamanic journey guided by Rainbow will take you into the healing codes held in your womb space. We will use the magic found in your journey to paint your womb story, using a blend of expressive arts and narrative therapy to access the healing potential in and through your very own body. This is a gentle yet profound healing practice that is held in deep reverence for all that may exist in our individual and collective womb journeys.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
Yes - you read that right. Women, it's time to unleash your rage! Holding space that for many, anger has felt or been unsafe to feel or express; This is a ceremony to reclaim your sacred rage and tap into healthy expressions of anger. Kyra will be guiding us in and through the body in a powerful expression of sacred rage that will ignite your soul on fire, move some collective energy (and almost certainly leave us giggling in a fit of giddy joy).
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
We are here to ensure you leave deeply nourished with your soul on fire, and a full medicine bag of how to embody your transformation as you continue on your journey. On Sunday we will be offering mindful self-compassion tools and practices for you to integrate from the weekend
♡
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
The choice to be here now. This weekend will be the nervous system reset that will not only give your body the rest it has been craving but also the space to move what has been stagnant. To feel what is ready to be felt and transmute what no longer serves. To remember that no matter where you are in this journey, you belong.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
A nourishing weekend of returning to what's true; of putting yourself first and allowing yourself to receive the love that you so deeply give; a filling up of the cup you so readily pour into others. You can expect a return to your inner sanctuary. A space to honour all the transitions and initiations, we bring back ceremony as a reclamation of the village: we welcome all of you, exactly as you are.
Your Space Holders
Kyra, Mel and Rainbow with the Rainbow Medicine Collective
Kyra (she/her) is a trauma-informed relationship coach, honouring connection through the nervous system and helping people get clear on what they need to feel really safe, seen and loved. She helps people connect with and understand their inner world so they can be with their emotions and come into radical self-acceptance for all the beautiful ways we show up in this human experience. She utilizes body-based tools in her work as a certified Breathwork Practitioner and is a Registered Nurse specializing in grief, loss, and palliative care; she weaves this into birth-work and ceremony for mamas who have experienced birth-loss and sees the portal of birth and death to be intimately intertwined. Her essence breathes a wild permission slip to let it all belong, knowing that you are still wildly lovable in even the most stickiest of places. She has felt the healing magic of connecting in sisterhood and can feel the potency of this retreat and the lifelong connections to be made here.
Mel (she/her) is an experienced event curator, certified pre-natal yoga (85hr) and Hatha yoga (200hr) teacher, circle facilitator, and birth doula, She is also a childhood educator and mentor, specializing in mindful self-compassion, conscious connections, and self-regulation. Her work breathes belonging as she is a bridge for many to reconnect to their bodies and their intuitive wisdom. Mel believes self-nourishment and returning to ceremony is essential for a healthy, thriving community. The deep healing experienced while being in circle with women is the foundation upon which Mel holds women both individually and collectively. As Lizzy Jeff speaks, “when we heal our women, we heal our planet.” Mel is a heart-open space holder and gifted healer whose energy will leave you feeling nourished, connected and seen.
Debra Hillary (Rainbow Medicine Woman) (she/her) is a sixth generation Shaman with Celtic and Native Ancestry. Rainbow draws on her roots, her connection to the land, its' spirits and the animals that speak to her to facilitate transformation and unlock the healing codes held in our DNA. Among having a gentle, down-to-earth spirit that welcomes each and every individual to show up exactly as they are, she is a healer, retreat facilitator, author of Finding the Shaman, and a teacher, acting as a bridge to guide those to remember all of who they are and step into their leadership of self and the new earth. Rainbow's unique medicine has supported many through discovery of their gifts (including Kyra!) as she supports people on their spiritual path to connect to their intuitive wisdom and access the healing power we all carry. Rainbow feels the potency of this retreat in the larger collective unfolding of what is happening in the world as we emerge into the new earth and restore the balance of feminine wisdom and the mystery of it all. She awakens the collective remembering that we have been doing this for lifetimes, and here at this retreat is a deepening of what is already alive in our spirits. The Mother's Day Weekend portal is a potent time for transformation of sisterhood and mother wounding and she looks forward to walk this journey with you.
