Customizing retreat experiences to suit you personal needs and areas of interest is our specialty.
All workshops, seminars and activities are designed to walk participants through the inner and outer exploration of specific areas of health and wellness, science and spirituality, creativity, and ancient cultural teachings. Creative expression through the arts is a key element in all workshops.
Our programs are offered as all inclusive same day mini-retreats, three day weekends getaways, and 5 to 10 day full immersion escapes. Mini-retreats are also offered off site, at a location of your choice. Programs can be specially themed and structured in the form of workshops, lectures and conferences to best suit your groups unique requirements.
On-site workshops are held indoors and out at Von Koeke House, and at the many naturally inspiring outdoor locations in and around Bear River. Themed weekend and full immersion programs are supported by gentle-eco adventures with experienced guides.
