ABOUT YOUR FACILITATOR:
Ruth Li has been deeply transformed by stillness and presence and is called to share this with others. In 2015, she left her full-time job in accounting because she was stressed, burnt out and totally miserable. Within a year, she booked a one-way ticket to India where she attended her first Insight Meditation Retreat. In those moments of silence, she discovered what she had been looking for all along: a place to always come back to. A place to always call “HOME”. This was her calling.
As she transitioned, many roadblocks came: Where do I begin? I am no expert! How can I be financially supported? I can’t do this, I am so awkward and anxious!
These challenging thoughts invited Ruth to go inwards to really connect with her deeper self. In that place, she accessed her inner resources of wisdom, peace, love and freedom. Ruth now meets challenges with kindness and an excitement to grow.
She has completed several 10-day silent meditation retreats, 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training, 8-Week Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction Course, Breakthrough Coaching and Authentic Leadership and Facilitation Training. She is ready to serve!

The constant humm of our daily lives can increase its intensity to a point where we feel out of sync with our true selves. When our senses are heightened and we find ourselves always looking for what could go wrong, or what is the next problem I will need to solve, it’s hard to be still, calm and connected to ourselves.
Has life been putting you through the paces and you just desperately need a chance to catch your breath, connect back to yourself and what you really want?
It’s easy to get caught up in the pace of things around us. Aspects of our lives can move quickly and before we know it, we are going faster than we want and in a direction that doesn’t feel meaningful to us.
Join Dr. Jada MacLeod ND and Randi Micklewright, psychotherapist and nature therapist, for a full-day immersion into yourself and into the stillness of the woods.
Our day will be begin in the warm and cozy Learning Centre. We will me in circle to connect us to the earth and our group, we will move through group energy healing journeys, opportunities to listen deeply to ourselves and our heart’s whispers. Your nervous system will begin to calm and connect back into yourself.
After lunch we will move outside, to experience nature in a therapeutic and nourishing way. There will be guided experiences, sharing and checking in to ensure you are getting what you need from the day.
We will gather once again in circle by the warmth of the fire to integrate the healing and lessons and growth from the day.
If you have any questions about the retreat, please feel free to contact the clinic!
February 11th 10am-4pm
You will have a space to yourself with an available bathroom and access to a fridge. Feel free to walk the trails, including our forest labyrinth, and book our other services in the clinic or at the BnB (ie. the sauna). From 9am – 4pm.
