Seasonal Well-Being Retreat Program: “The Seasons of Self”

Where Personal Growth Meets the Rhythms of Nature

Join us at FireLoch for an immersive retreat series with facilitators Jennifer DeCoste and Britt Overmars. Designed to align your personal journey with the natural cycles of the seasons and inspired by the principles of permaculture, The Seasons of Self invites you to connect deeply with yourself and the earth while exploring seasonal themes of rest, growth, renewal, and celebration. Each session, offered during the transitions to each season, offers transformative experiences to nurture your body, mind, and spirit as you navigate the cycles of the year.

You can choose to participate in just one or join for every session – payment plans are available and some funding is being reserved to support participants from African Canadian or Indigenous communities for whom cost is a barrier to enrolment. Please reach out to jennifer@fireloch.com to find out about funding available. 

Program Information:

Spring Session – “Planting Seeds” – A time for exploration, new beginnings, and experimentation.  

**Date:** April 27th, 2025 

**Time:** 9:30 AM – 7:00 PM  

Theme: “New Beginnings and Experimentation” – Partnering with nature we will spend a lot of the day out on the land, catching the energy of  spring! Sound therapy, movement practices and a guided exploration of self care practices to put into play this spring will fill our program, and we will have pockets of rest throughout the day so we have space to twin our roots together as we connect deeply with each other and ourselves. 

What You’ll Experience:

– **Grounding Practices:** Start your day with an opening circle in community to connect with yourself and others.  

– **Mindset Shifts:** Experience a wisdom council – assembled to support you in working through questions that are rising in you. 

– **Nourishing Seasonal Meals:** Enjoy fresh, light, and vibrant foods to fuel your day.  

– **Embodiment Practices:** Tapping into creative energy, laughter, joy!

– **Exploring New Self-Care Practices:** Introductions to techniques and support services from our community

– **Reflection Walks & Permaculture Projects:** Learn from and be inspired by active permaculture projects underway at FireLoch

– **Stepping into Flow:** Explore guidance coming to you from the universe during a collaborative, art-filled dinner.  

– **Closing Yoga & Meditation:** Leave with gratitude for new beginnings and connection with the present moment.

Why Attend? 

This is your chance to pause, reflect, and rejuvenate. You’ll leave with clarity, calm, and tools to nurture a balanced nervous system, all while fostering a deeper connection to the rhythms of nature and a supportive community.
