Just a 20-minute ferry ride from Vancouver, Nectar is nestled in the heart of a lush temperate rainforest on Nexwlélexwm (Bowen Island), the ancestral and unceded territory of the Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) Nation. This sanctuary continues to be one of our annual retreat destinations for good reason - it feels like an instant homecoming. Together we step away from the busyness of life, and embrace practices that nurture our well-being and uplift our spirit.

This 3-day experience is an invitation to return to yourself. To soften your pace, to listen more closely, and to remember what truly lights you up. As we move through the Evolve programming together, space opens to check back in with your inner world, your joy, and your deeper sense of purpose.

Each morning begins with an Evolve practice that gently sets the tone for the day ahead. Guided by timeless yoga philosophy and wisdom, we explore what it means to embody our practice beyond the mat. Through movement, conscious breath, mudra, mantra, guided journaling, and reflection, the teachings begin to live within us.

The theme of each day flows into every experience, ceremony, and workshop, creating a cohesive journey that unfolds naturally. In the evening, we gather again for Yin, Restorative, or Yoga Nidra, allowing the day to settle into the body and nervous system. These practices invite deep integration and offer space to truly feel what it means to live your yoga.

Each theme builds upon the last, guiding us upward on an intentional path of self discovery, layer by layer, toward the summit that is your most authentic self.

We cannot wait to welcome you into this experience! This is your time. You are worthy of it.
