SHE RECOVERS® Retreats are our mission in action: connecting, supporting & empowering women to heal in community. Since 2012 we have hosted more than 75 retreats across the world, and we are delighted to invite you to our amazing Salt Spring Islands retreats. We’ve been retreating at Stowel Lake Farm since 2014!

Imagine an organic farm on Salt Spring Island, set on more than 100 acres of orchard, farmland, and surrounded by open sky. Expect hikes, swimming, yoga twice a day if you choose, and long afternoons hanging out under the trees. Be nourished with truly delicious vegetarian meals pulled fresh from the garden.

The farm and its food are easy to fall in love with, but after 12 years of gathering in this unique and special place, we know that what guests remember most are the connections. Over four nights, / five days expect like-hearted company, honest conversation, and the relief of being with women who aren't drinking or using drugs to feel at home.

Spend your days however you like, full or empty, busy or still. There's time for hikes, swims, and yoga, and just as much for reading, napping, and doing nothing at all. We offer the options, and you choose your own pace.

Important:

SHE RECOVERS® Retreats are designed for women in or seeking recovery - however you define it. You don’t need to explain why you’re coming. Out of deep respect for those healing from substance use our retreats are alcohol and drug free both on site and on group excursions.

Stowel Lake Farm is a working organic farm that sits on Salt Spring Island (SSI), in the Gulf Islands of British Columbia. SSI is a 35-minute ferry ride from Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal in Victoria. Out of towners should fly into Victoria Airport (YYJ). Swartz Bay Ferry Terminal is only five minutes from the airport. The ferry from Swartz Bay to Fulford Harbour on SSI is only 35 minutes long.

Guests from south of the border usually come up via the Blaine U.S. border crossing and head to the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal. The ferry from Tsawwassen takes you from Long Harbour on Salt Spring Island.

We want getting to SSI an the farm to be simple, so we check in with every new guest to ensure they understand the options.

Stowel Lake Farm offers:

• A deeply supportive natural environment perfect for strolling or hiking

• Lush gardens and many indoor and outdoor living spaces for reading, resting, and gathering

• A beautiful yoga studio

• A bright, cozy living space in barn building to hang out and connect

• Gorgeous down bedding in rooms

• 24/7 tea table
