Women’s Fall Weekend Retreat in Muskoka
A 3 Night Sacred Escape to Honour the Full Moon, Connect with Nature & Awaken Your Inner Magic
October 3 – 6, 2025
Muskoka, Ontario
As the crisp autumn air settles over Muskoka, the forest comes alive with the golden glow of fall, and the full moon casts its mystical light over the lake. This is a time of transition, reflection, and deep magic—a moment to step away from the everyday and immerse yourself in something more profound.
Imagine waking up in a cozy five-star rated retreat space, wrapped in the warmth of a blanket, sipping your morning coffee as you watch the sun rise over the water. The scent of the earth fills the air as you step outside, feet touching the cool, grounding forest floor. This is your sacred pause, your moment to reconnect with your intuition, to listen to the whispers of the wind through the trees, and to honour the ancient wisdom that flows through you.
In the evening under the Full Moon….
Under the full moon’s luminous glow, we will gather in sisterhood—working with crystals, casting moon spells, setting powerful intentions, and allowing the energy of this enchanted space to guide us. Here, you are free to embrace your wild, authentic self. To let go. To be seen. To breathe deeply and surrender to the beauty of this season of change.
This is more than just a retreat. It’s a calling. A journey inward. A celebration of your magic.
What will your weekend look like?
A Weekend of Magic & Moonlight
Step into a world where the mystical meets the serene—a weekend designed to awaken your inner magic, reconnect you with nature, and celebrate the divine feminine within. Every moment of this retreat is infused with intention, from the way the morning light dances across the lake to the sacred energy of our full moon rituals.
Here’s what awaits you:
Full Moon Rituals & Spell Work – Harness the energy of the full moon to set powerful intentions, release what no longer serves you, and align with your deepest desires through spell work and sacred practices.
Crystal Charging & Moon Magic – Learn how to cleanse, charge, and work with your crystals under the full moon’s energy, amplifying your connection to their healing properties.
Yoga with a View – Our beautiful yoga space features panoramic views of the forest and lake, creating the perfect setting for grounding morning practices and soul-nourishing sessions, including Yoga Nidra to connect with your inner wisdom. Depending on weather yoga may be done on the floating dock.
Meditation Walks Through the Forest – Immerse yourself in the healing power of nature as we walk mindfully through the autumn-kissed trees, feeling the earth beneath our feet and breathing in the crisp, fresh air.
Sunrise & Moonrise Rituals – Greet the day with a morning ritual by the lake, welcoming the rising sun with gratitude, and later, gather under the stars to honour the moon as she rises in the night sky.
Fire Circle & Sisterhood Gatherings – Share stories, laughter, and connection with like-minded women around the fire, creating bonds that will last long after the retreat ends.
Local Town Exploration (Optional) – Take a short drive into the charming town of Gravenhurst just minutes away for an afternoon of exploring, boutique shopping, and soaking in the local atmosphere.
Bring Your Own Water Toys – If you love being on the water, bring your SUP or kayak to explore the peaceful Lake Muskoka during your free time.
This weekend is more than just a retreat—it’s a sanctuary for your soul. A place where you can fully embrace your magic, reconnect with yourself, and experience the beauty of autumn in Muskoka in a way you’ve never felt before.
This retreat is small and intimate, spots are limited.
I would love for you to join in on this special and unique women’s weekend. A perfect blend of rest, relaxation, and magic!
