Soft & Sacred @ The Reverie Lantzville
Soft & Sacred is lead by an all BIPOC Facilitator Team of 5 across many disciplines
In our serene hilltop venue overlooking the Salish Sea we'll come together and experience decolonized wellness in the areas of yoga, meditation, somatic healing, sound baths, and Ayurvedic workshops, all nourished by healthy, holistic meals from our private chef.
We’ll move, rest, learn, and be held in community. Expect calm spaces, unrushed conversations, and practices that help you return to yourself.
Join us as we decolonize wellness and experience healing in community. Exhale into a gentle reset.
Soft & Sacred Spring Retreat: May 16-17
Saturday: Gentle Arrival, Sound & Evening Ayurveda
Morning
We ease into the space with tea, a soft welcome, and a gentle, trauma-informed movement + active breathwork practice led by Dr. Jessica Barudin, helping you arrive in your body and set intentions for the weekend.
Midday
We share a nourishing lunch from our private chef, with plenty of time to rest, wander, or enjoy the view.
Afternoon
In a Sacred Sound & Voice workshop, Rishima Bahadoorsingh introduces traditional Indian sound practices, Mantra (tools for the mind), Rāga (melodic connection), and Bhajan/Kīrtan (the path of the heart). You’ll learn how to gently weave these forms into your own yoga or meditation ritual in an accessible, welcoming way, no singing experience needed.
Late afternoon & evening
You’ll have spacious time to lie down, journal, or book an optional 1:1 service (listed below).
As evening arrives, Arpita leads an Ayurvedic beauty ritual workshop, sharing simple, at-home practices for skin, hair, and self-massage that you can realistically bring into daily life. We close the day with a short circle before you head home or settle into your room onsite.
Sunday: Ayurveda, Qigong, Dinner & Fire
Morning
We begin with tea and gentle grounding, then move into Ayurveda as medicine with Arpita, a workshop focused on joint health and aging well. You’ll explore herbs, oils, and everyday practices to support long-term mobility and stability in the body you have now.
Midday
Another slow, chef-prepared lunch and quiet time to rest, connect and integrate.
Afternoon
Kevin Yee-Chan leads a Qigong: Fortifying the Inner Elder immersion. Through foundational movement inspired by the Yi Jin Jing (Muscle Tendon Changing Classic), and an introduction to meridian theory and the five elements, you’ll explore strength, resilience, and your relationship with your “inner elder” in a way that’s accessible to all bodies. There’s time afterward to lie down, integrate, or book an optional service.
Evening
We share a simple dinner together, then close the retreat gathered around the fire with Satya Amrita, a Vedic priestess and lifelong yogic practitioner. In this closing fire ceremony, you’ll be guided through mantra, story, and Vedic-inspired ritual to release what you’re ready to lay down, name what you’re calling in, and seal the weekend in shared warmth and intention.
Optional 1:1 sessions with our facilitators are available before or after the retreat each day, or during built-in breaks, so you don’t have to miss any group sessions. Sessions include Ayurvedic facials, Abhyanga Massage, Tui Na Massage + Acupuncture, Rāga Voice Meditation, as well as spiritual life guidance and mentoring sessions.
Tickets: Day Pass (Fri/Sat) $224.00 or Weekend Pass $424.00
