We take therapy out of the office, and into the ‘real’ world.
Our therapeutic wellness retreats aim to inspire, expand, and elicit wonder. We dwell in curiosity. We play with problems. We are a creative experiment of what is possible when people come together to dream, imagine and make things with their hands and bodies.
We are the change.
All retreats include simple and cozy private or semi-private accommodation with shared bathroom facilities, large communal areas, a yoga/meditation room and plenty of outdoor space. Some workshops may be accessed as a day visitor if you have your own local accommodation.
Our food is nutritious, delicious and made with love. Local ingredients when possible and organic. Food sensitivities and allergies are supported. Tea/coffee and snacks are included.
Workshops vary in price and there is a work-exchange option on most retreats. Most retreats can be attended with or without accommodation.
The SEED Lodge is wheelchair accessible.
Some courses are covered for psychotherapy under most insurance plans in Ontario and Quebec. Reach out for more information.
WOMEN WHO RUN WITH THE WOLVES: READING CLUB
Women Who Run with the Wolves — Monthly Book Club (Live on ZOOM)
By the SEED SISTERHOOD SOCIETY.
Let’s gather in circle. Tell the old stories. Awaken the wild woman within.
Step into a circle of women, where ancient tales are spoken aloud and the wild soul in each of us is remembered. Each month we journey into one chapter of Women Who Run with the Wolves, written by Clarissa Pinkola Estés — a book that has become a beacon for women seeking their instinctual, creative, and untamed selves.
Each month, one sister will take on the sacred task of storytelling, bringing each myth or tale to life so that we may hear it not only with our ears, but with our bones. From there, we move together into exploration — through art, writing, movement, and reflection — giving the story space to work its magic in us.
Come for a single gathering to taste the power of this work, or walk with us for the full year-long journey. Either way, you’ll be entering a space that is nourishing, transformative, and deeply alive.
This isn’t just a book club. It’s a remembering. It’s an invitation to reawaken the wild woman within, to reclaim the parts of yourself that have been hidden or silenced, nourish your soul with real food wisdom, so that you can step more fully into your life with courage and creativity.
Facilitator & Guests:
Esther Kalaba
Esther Kalaba is an art therapist and psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience working with the symbolic realms of art, psyche, and story. She loves to witness how women come together to support one another, and how ancient stories provide a powerful structure to meet the emotional needs of modern life.
“Stories are alive, and they need to be fed. The more we gather in circle, the more we give voice to these powerful truths — and the more they nourish us in return.”
Esther is passionate about creating spaces where women can remember these stories and reclaim their wisdom for modern times, awakening their creativity, courage, and wild knowing.
