I want to know what you ache for, and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.

About Us

We invite you to join us amongst the ancient white pines, maples and majestic birches. This is the Sacred Path Centre, our home. It nestles in a forested valley, tucked in the bend of the York Rivers’ meandering path. This river creates a natural boundary as it edges the five acre property. It flows beside woods, natural open spaces, wild and cultivated gardens of flowers and vegetables.

 

Sitting quietly beside the river is an invitation for the many valley inhabitants to reveal themselves: deer, beaver, weasels, otter, hare, skunk, raccoon and the chattering red squirrels all make their homes here. Above the earth and water, gliding through the crisp bright air are the winged ones: woodpeckers, ravens, hawks, owls, humming birds, nuthatches, finches and more….

 

In this magical setting of natural beauty we welcome groups of up to eight people. We gather in our cozy, comfortable space to expand our inner life so we can connect more deeply with all that is.

 

Beverages and delicious vegetarian snacks and lunches are provided with each workshop. Our two felines, Fred and Saley live here also so we are not dander allergy friendly. Rustic camping on our land is available in season. Please ask for a list of charming local B&B, motel and other camping options.

 

The dream of this land is to provide sanctuary to people who come to heal and explore their beauty and power. We look forward to welcoming you to our sacred space.

 

We also offer workshops at Grail Springs Transformational Centre near Bancroft, Ontario.
