This summer, join friends, teachers and collaborators Kumi Sawyers, Tommy Lucas and chef-dancer Lauren Gerrie, for an unforgettable week of embodiment and nourishment through Yoga, Movement Exploration (cardio-dance), Transmission (cardio, strength & stretch), Meditation, Breath Work, Somatic Awareness and Culinary Delights at the stunning Shobac Farm & Spa in Nova Scotia, Canada.We will be returning for the fourth time to our favorite architectural village by the sea. There is no other place like it on Earth, it is simply spectacular and a quintessential Maritime experience. Over the years we have filled the space with so many special people and memories that the ritual of returning is something we look forward to all year long. The Shobac property was designed by the internationally celebrated Canadian architect Brian MacKay-Lyons. The compound is surrounded by the ocean, cliffs, wildflowers and rolling green pastures where sheep and cattle graze. You do not need to get into a car to find a beach or a picturesque hike, all you you have to do is walk straight out your front door and there it is all around you. Being there evokes a deep sense of wonder and creativity, it is truly the perfect place for a dreamy Summer Retreat. **Financial aid is available to those who need it. Please email kumarawellness@gmail.com to inquire.There is a mystical place where the water meets the skythe mossy green hills watch in wonderment. There is a place where mother nature restsher heartbeat slows and her nervous system harmonizes. There is a place where the sun shines so bright and the winds of change bring rolling fog,thick mist, and dewy mornings followed by blissed out afternoons and star studded nights.There is a place where modern architecture is one with its Earthly environment.There is a place where locals reign supreme, sailors find delight, sea life beckons, the purest of air warms the hearts of every visitor.The magical sirens of Eastern Canada's coastline call us back each year, NOVA SCOTIA is their song. -LGTHE SPAThe newest structure to the Shobac Property is the Spa. Built in 2023, it houses a lap pool, sauna, steam shower, fully equipped gym, and outside hot tub and trampoline. The spa will be available to our guests putting the cherry on top of an already dreamy situation.  *We can arrange for a Massage Therapist to come for those interested.*THE SURROUNDINGS Shobac is ideally situated for easy access to urban and rural amenities. The historic towns of Lunenburg, Chester, Bridgewater and Mahone Bay are nearby. Lunenburg, just 15 kilometres away, is a UNESCO World Heritage site. More great beaches like Rissers Beach and Crescent Beach are located across the LaHave River via a short car ferry. For the adventurous, Nova Scotia has plenty of good surf spots and the nearby LaHave Islands and Bluerocks/Stonehurst offer some of the best sea-kayaking in Canada. The historic drive up the beautiful LaHave River takes you from the open ocean at Shobac in Kingsburg to the rolling farmlands of New Germany in the center of Nova Scotia.GETTING THERE*Flights and transportation to the property are not included*Fly into Halifax Stanfield International Airport.

THE EMBODIMENT RETREAT: AT SHOBAC FARM & SPA in Kingsburg, Nova Scotia

Kumi Sawyers

I had a wonderful experience. The food, the movement, the setting, such a perfect nervous system reset and total permission to listen to what my body needs.

Kumi, Lauren and team created and hosted one of the best weeks in my memory. The yoga and assists felt incredible - all so accessible and equally rooted in Kumi's deep wisdom. Lauren's meals are thoughtful, nourishing and more delicious than anything I remember eating. The warm ease with which Kumi, Lauren and team hosted us all, set the perfect tone for a week of connection and rest. Truthfully, this week was more healing in ways I didn't even know that I needed. Can't recommend a trip with Kumi & Lauren more. I hope to do it again one day. Magic.
