Celebrating 10 years of Feelosophy retreats, we are heading back to where it all began, Nectar on Bowen Island in B.C Canada!

Join Ashley for 2 nights, and 3 days (Friday-Sunday) for the ultimate Feels experience.

Nourishing food. Time in nature. Personal reflection. Flow yoga in the morning to move your body, and #allthefeels signature Restorative Yoga with touch in the evenings. Live music. Intuitive art practices. Breathwork. Welcome Bags & More. Time to swim in the ocean, nap, read a book, or connect with new friends.

Only 14 spots - this retreat will sell out, so book your spot today.

Nectar Yoga Retreat is a healing space that sits on 20 acres of forested land on Bowen Island, just a short 20 minute ferry ride from Vancouver. We acknowledge and honour that Nexwlélexwm (Bowen Island) is the ancestral and unceded territory of the Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish) Nation. 

Nectars life's work is the stewardship of this land, to care for and know its forests and waterways. With this as the foundation, Nectar Yoga Retreat draws travelers, leaders, and brands from metro Vancouver and all over the world, offering overnight stays, retreat experiences, and meaningful programs. By holding space for guests to slow down, our intention is to seed consciousness that naturally comes from immersing oneself in the land.

Their modern, Scandinavian-inspired cottages provide the container for an easeful getaway in nature. Rest and recharge among the Alder trees, and vast varieties of Pacific Northwest flora and fauna.

Nectar sits on 20 acres of forested land, the ancestral and unceded territory of Nexwlélexwm (Bowen Island) at 720 Gardner Lane. For detailed driving and public transportation directions, click here. If you are driving, complimentary parking is available on-site.

We recommend booking your ferry spot early if you choose to drive over.

During your retreat, delicious and nourishing plant-based meals will be created and served by our kitchen team. All meals are served in our Onyx Lodge at our long table. Our menus change with the seasons, so you can expect to enjoy delicious, enticing plant-based foods that reflect the bounty of the land. 

While we do our best to accommodate dietary needs, please note that our kitchen uses nuts, and we cannot guarantee safety for guests with anaphylactic allergies.

We’re unable to accommodate highly specific or restrictive diets such as keto or smoothie-only plans. However, all meals can be prepared with vegan and/or gluten-free options. Nectar’s kitchen is a strictly meat- and fish-free facility.

Cancellation policy: $250 deposit is non refundable, even if the spot gets filled.

Your deposit is non-refundable and holds your spot on the retreat.

If something comes up and you need to cancel, we’re happy to refund the remaining balance if we’re able to fill your spot from the waitlist. If we can’t fill your spot, unfortunately we aren’t able to offer a refund.

We’re also unable to offer refunds or credits for late arrivals, early departures, missed meals or sessions, or any part of the retreat that you’re unable to attend.

The retreat will go ahead rain or shine. We’re unable to provide refunds due to travel delays, cancelled flights, illness, family emergencies, extreme weather, natural disasters, or other circumstances outside of our control. For this reason, we strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance that includes trip cancellation and interruption coverage.

Thank you so much for understanding. Retreats take a lot of planning and commitment well in advance, and we intentionally keep them small so that we can create a meaningful experience for everyone. Your registration allows us to honour our commitments to our venue, teachers, and the overall experience we’re creating together.

If you book a cottage with shared accommodation and do not book with your preferred roommate we will pair you up. If you want to stay with friends/family please book at the same time and include the name of your roommate in your booking comments or email hello@thefeelosophy.com
