An hour from Calgary, the mountains do the rest
Every country has its mountain. Ours are the Rockies: clean air and cold water. In smoke season, “breathe freely” is not a metaphor here — it is a need.
Not scheduled. Retreats come after our first season, and only if it earns them. Register your interest and we will write if it happens.

Other mountains
After the Rockies: the forests of Japan, the Alps, Bali. Each place will be found slowly and taught by local teachers trained in the method.
