Connecting With Wild
A Personal & Private Land-Based Boutique Retreat
Hiraeth
n. (Welsh) A spiritual longing for a home which maybe never was. Nostalgia for ancient places to which we cannot return. It is the echo of the lost places of our soul’s past and our grief for them. It is in the wind, and the rocks, and the waves. It is nowhere and it is everywhere. |
Frame Your Intentions
This retreat is an opportunity to return to your source, to what feeds and nourishes your life: the land. Take a pause to remember the authenticity of who you are, so you might come to know where you are going. This is a time to return to your original landscape, your body, while being with the magic and mystery of the land, a time for inquiry and integration at your pace. This is an invitation to step into a collaborative container, a precious journey that is co-designed to best support your intentions and vision. A unique trauma-informed and therapeutic retreat opportunity awaits your vision and commitment. Imagine being on the land, open sky, warm sunshine, river bubbling by, and mountains framing the skyline while engaging in a guided therapeutic journey co-designed and framed by your intention! |

I have had the absolute privilege and fortune of being able to co-facilitate a 100 hr immersion with Nicola, and I’ve learned the most from her in the way she holds space for people. I believe Nicola not only holds space for people to fully be themselves, but creates a container where people’s highest selves emerge.”

Dr. Melissa Jay is an Indigenous, Nehiyaw-Métis member of the Métis Nation of Alberta. Canmore Counselling is located Chuwapchipchiyân Kudi Bi (translated from Îyârhe Nakoda as “shooting at the willows”), colonially known as Canmore. We are located the beautiful Rocky Mountains which is considered Treaty 7 land, the traditional territory of the Îyârhe Nakoda, including the Bearspaw, Chiniki, and Wesley First Nations, as well as the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Blackfoot Confederacy, including the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai First Nations, and home of Métis Nation of Alberta, Region III. As an act of reconciliation and decolonization, may we work together to answer the TRC's Calls to Action: Truth & Reconciliation Commission Reports and Findings.
At Canmore Counselling we are also priveleged to be yoga students, practitoners, and guides. Our offerings are dedicated to honouring the root of yoga and learning from and amplifying the voices of South Asian practitioners and teachers whenever possible. We are grateful for the eight limbs of yoga, as taught by Patanjali. It is a joy to walk alongside our incredible alumni of the Trauma-Informed Yoga Psychology School as they create opportunities for care, connection & curiosity within their communities.
