Join a fabulous group of wild women for a weekend at the beautiful and cozy Wolf Den Nature Retreat!
The Wolf Den is a lovely historic log and timber frame lodge with charming hosts. The central lodge includes an open concept kitchen for cooking and dining, sleeping quarters and a fantastic living room area for yoga, curling up on a couch to read, playing games or making music by the fireplace. We will have our own private 5 person bunkhouses as well as rooms in main lodge, private use of the cedar sauna, campfire area and, yes, hot showers! This inspiring weekend is all about exploring our creativity and expressing ourselves in fun, grounding and new ways. All while enjoying the beauty of nature at a wonderful time of year in Algonquin Park, a scenic 3 hour drive from Toronto or Ottawa. Pre-Registration is required. LBT+
Program Highlights
Dance Workshop: ‘Being
The Flame’
(facilitated
by Elisa Hatton)
Nourish the flame of your divine
feminine soul through a dynamic and unique experience of an exciting and
transformational Dance Our Way Home (DOWH) dance workshop. In this workshop we
will explore, experience, luxuriate and bask in the experience of BEING THE
FLAME. Creative fire dwells within each of us and it urges us to seek a fuller,
more embodied expression of who we really are as creative beings. DOWH is
grounded in sacred principles that acknowledge and honour the divine feminine
within us all. It is a facilitated, movement- based, barefoot and non-verbal
practice. No previous dance experience is required, only a willingness to move
and be moved!
Nature Photography for
Beginners
(facilitated
by Lee Roy)
For this fantastic workshop
participants do not need fancy photography equipment as they will learn skills
that they could apply using any camera; from the most basic cell phone through
to DSLRs. Participants should already know the basics on their own camera. The
session will start with a short discussion on some outdoor and wildlife
photography techniques before heading out into nature. Further instruction will
be provided while out on the trail and Lee will be available during the day for
any questions or to critique photos taken during the workshop.
Sensual Painting, Texture and T-shirt Making…
(facilitated
by Kyra Dahlke, aka 'Kiki')
Tap into the wild and embrace your
juicy nature to nurture your creative side. Explore the forest and ground in
its earthy energy then embark on a journey through joy and imagination. These
workshops are about connecting to the creative energy and allowing yourself the
freedom to play with colours. There will be a basic introduction to painting
techniques, mixing colours and how to identify the sensual lines of nature.
Following a guided walk through the forest observing the contrast of light and
shade, the glistening water, and the soft textures of moist moss and the rough
bark of the trees. We will then return to explore our wild impressions of
nature and through paint and brush allow our sensual creativity to unfurl onto
paper and the fabric of our choosing.
Yoga Workshop: ‘Seeds of Intention’
(facilitated
by Elisa Hatton)
Plant and nourish your creative
‘seeds of intention’ through asana, pranayama, guided visualization and
relaxation. This workshop will offer a gentle yet invigorating creative
exploration of the physical, emotional and wisdom bodies and the senses as vehicles
for creative discovery and expression. There will be many opportunities for
creative reflection. Creative journaling will be encouraged and materials will
be provided.
