Finding Yourself: The Journey Within

May 26-28, 2026 • Crieff Hills, Puslinch, Ontario

A 3-day retreat for women who need quiet, clarity, and a gentle but honest look on the inside.

Unveiled

Reset, Health & Heal

When was the last time you could actually hear yourself think?

Not a rushed walk between obligations.

Not a five-minute meditation with someone asking where the peanut butter is.

Real space. Real quiet. Real you.

Unveiled: Finding Yourself – The Journey Within
is a 3-day retreat designed for women who are too often with white-knuckling life and ready to remember who they are, what they want, and what actually matters next.

This isn’t about fixing you.

It’s about making enough space for you to finally hear yourself—and trust what you hear.

What is this retreat going to be like?

This retreat gives you a rare combination of:

Silence and Stillness so your nervous system can finally exhale.

Guided inquiry into the question “Who am I now?” (not 10 years ago, not who everyone else needs you to be).

Somatic and energetic practices to help your body speak up and be heard.

Gentle structure (walks, talks, movement, art, firelight) so you never have to hold the container—you just get to be in it.

You’ll leave with:

A calmer, steadier nervous system.
A clearer sense of who you are under the noise.
A more honest picture of what you want next in your life.
A simple set of daily practices you can actually keep doing once you’re home.

This is time away from everyone else’s expectations—so your own choices can rise again.

Retreat Schedule

Your three days at a glance

Friday

Day One – Arriving, Landing, Remembering

You arrive, exhale, and let the pace of real life fall away.

Welcome & Opening Talk
Tara gathers the group, offers a rousing, honest welcome, and sets the tone: this is a space for truth, rest, curiosity, and zero performance.
Settle or Rest
You’re invited either to sit with the group and gently land together, or to retreat to your room for a rest, shower, or quiet moment alone. No one needs anything from you here.
12:30pm – Shared Lunch
We break our fast together with a nourishing lunch in the beautiful Maclean Hall dining space. Food is wholesome, hearty, and prepared with local ingredients.
Forest Walk & Grounding
After lunch, we head out for a long, beautiful forest walk on the Crieff grounds. This is about moving at a human pace, feeling your feet on the earth, and letting your mind unclench.
Who Am I? – Evening Session
We gather to explore the question “Who am I?”—not as a slogan, but as a living, unsettling, liberating question. Tara shares frameworks, stories, and tools to help you see yourself more clearly.
Creative Expression – Making Something Beautiful
Together we create something art-like: painting, collage, or mixed-media expression. No talent required. The point isn’t the product, it’s the process of letting your inner world come out in colour and shape.
Dinner Together – 5:30pm
Another shared meal, unhurried.
Evening Movement & Fireside Chat

Saturday

Day Two – Moving, Questioning, Listening

Morning Movement: Yoga or Run/Walk
You choose:
- gentle yoga / movement together
- or a group run/walk on the trails
This is about meeting your body where it is and honouring what feels right.
Tea, Conversation & Inquiry
We’re still fasting, so the morning is about warm tea, conversation, and slightly provocative questions designed to wake up the brain and your sense of self.
Who You Are Now – Brain-Rousing Activities
We explore exercises and discussions that help you see your patterns, values, desires, and identity with more clarity and less judgment.
Gathering Before Lunch
We check in as a group, anchor the morning’s insights, and help you translate them into something usable.
12:30pm – Shared Lunch
Solo Integration Time
After lunch, you’re off the hook.
You’ll receive a guided meditation created by Tara to listen to at your own pace. Then you get to choose:
- bath
- walk
- wander the property
- rest
- journal
- or simply stare at the trees and do absolutely nothing
This is where things often land: insights, grief, relief, clarity.
Afternoon Talk & Group Conversation
We gather again to explore what’s emerging: new truths, decisions, boundaries, and longings.
5:30pm – Dinner Together
Evening Movie & Fire
We watch a carefully chosen movie together—something that fits the themes of identity, courage, and becoming—then circle up around the fire again. You’re guided, not pushed. Then: bed.

Sunday

Day Three – Listening to the Body, Expressing the Self

Morning: Hike/Run or Yoga
Again, you choose the way you want to meet the day: on the trail or on the mat.
Somatic Session – What Your Body Has Been Trying to Tell You
In a group setting, Tara guides you through somatic work to help you notice:
- how your body says “no,”
- how it says “yes,”
- and what it’s been trying to communicate while you’ve been too busy managing everyone else’s needs.
Space to Choose – Solo Time
After the somatic work, you get another window of free choice—rest, walk, journal, connect with others, or simply be.
12:30pm – Shared Lunch
Afternoon Expression – Art, Writing, or Other Creative Work
We lean into self-expression: art, writing, or whatever wants to emerge. This is about integrating what you’ve seen and felt, and giving it a place in the world.
5:30pm – Final Dinner Together
Sound & Integration – Singing Bowls
After dinner, we gather for a sound experience (singing bowls) to help anchor what you’ve received and gently soothe the nervous system.
Closing Share & Rest
A final circle to share what you’re taking home with you—insights, decisions, commitments, or simply a new way of holding yourself. Then: sleep.
