Welcome to The Centre

A 360 degree wellbeing experience incorporating holistic health, fitness, and relational arts. Perched on the wild shores of Vancouver Island, in British Columbia, Canada

Wisdom, Wildness, & Wonder

Specializing in aliveness, we offer a sanctuary and training ground for facilitators up to big things in the world. Receive full-system nourishment, flex your relational arts muscles, luxuriously fall into integration, and leave with deepened embodied mastery.

This is your dream wellness vacation; where every health aspect of your life is tended to.

Discover

A place where world-renowned facilitators come to collaborate, explore, and transform. Weekend and week-long retreats make up our core programming and follow a structured weekly rhythm from Sun to Thurs and Fri to Sun, while 1-day, 14-day, and month-long formats are also sprinkled throughout the year.

Try something new from our vast array of weekly offerings - movement and fitness classes, kirtan, films, games night, 12-step tribe, and a Saturday artisan and farmer's market.
