Embrace Joy
November 6 - 8, 2026
An autumn retreat
Join us for a weekend retreat deep in the heart of the forest as we embrace the changing season. During this time, we invite you to settle in, listen to and reconnect with your inner self. Take the opportunity to explore and try new things, rediscovering your inner child through fun and play. Express yourself through movement and chanting, reconnecting with your heart. This weekend offers you a chance to take time for yourself, recharge, enjoy, and appreciate the beauty of autumn.
Where we will be staying
A haven of peace nestled in the heart of nature, where time seems to stand still and each moment invites you to find softness and ease. La Chaumière Fleur Soleil is a retreat center bathed in light and serenity, located in Val-David, just an hour from Montreal. Here, everything is designed to awaken joy, calm the body, and nourish the soul.
You’ll stay in a room that breathes calm and simplicity — a cozy cocoon that invites rest and renewal.
The yoga practices, as well as inversions, dance, and chanting workshops, will take place in the amphitheatre — a sacred, inspiring space where one slows and returns to the essence of being.
You’ll also partake in the inviting common areas: bathrooms, a relaxation lounge, a welcoming dining hall, expansive gardens, a tranquil pond, a sweat lodge (Bethsaïd), and an outdoor fireside under the stars.
