The LakeSide Retreat

The Lakeside Retreat is a safe and inclusive retreat designed for women seeking space to slow down, gain clarity, recharge, and return home feeling renewed, grounded, and inspired.

I'm Ready

This isn’t just a retreat — it’s an intentional reset.

An invitation to slow down, step into nature, and reconnect with what matters most. Together, we'll create a space where reflection deepens self-awareness, meaningful conversations foster genuine connection, and community reminds us that we were never meant to navigate life's journey alone. From this place, we return ready to lead with compassion, wisdom, and authenticity.

Outcome  01

Connect with your most authentic self

Reconnect with the person you've always been beneath the demands of everyday life. This retreat is an invitation to slow down, reflect, and return to what truly matters. Guided by evidence-based coaching tools, powerful self-reflection, and intentional conversations, you'll gain greater clarity about your purpose, values, and next chapter. You'll leave with renewed confidence, a stronger sense of self, and the grounding to move forward with authenticity and intention.

Outcome  02

Relax & Recharge

Nature provides the perfect backdrop for restoration. From sunrise paddles on the lake to evenings around the campfire, every moment is designed to help you unwind and reconnect. In the summer, enjoy canoeing, kayaking, paddleboarding, swimming, or simply soaking in the peaceful surroundings. As winter transforms the landscape into a serene wonderland, relax in the hot tub overlooking the lake, curl up with a book beside the fire, or wander through the quiet beauty of snow-covered trails and frozen waters. Whatever the season, you'll discover a place where you can truly pause, recharge, and return home feeling your best.

Outcome  03

Inclusive Culinary Experience

Savor the luxury of being fully cared for. Leave the cooking behind and enjoy thoughtfully prepared, nourishing meals throughout your stay. Start your morning with breakfast on the balcony overlooking the lake, enjoy a quiet lunch surrounded by nature, or gather around the table each evening to share a delicious meal and meaningful conversation with fellow guests. Every meal is an opportunity to slow down, connect, and simply be present.

Lakeside Retreat

A Place to Pause, Reconnect & Reset

The Lake Side Retreat is nestled in beautiful Minden Hills, Ontario, in the heart of the Haliburton Highlands, approximately 2.5 hours northeast of Toronto and situated directly on the peaceful shores of South Lake.

Surrounded by nature and the calming rhythm of the water, this year-round cottage offers the perfect setting to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect—with yourself and with others.

As a participant, your retreat can look however you need it to. Start your morning with a quiet coffee and a book on the dock. Take a solo kayak out onto the lake. Go for a peaceful walk through the surrounding nature. Or, when you're ready for connection, spend time with the other ambitious women at the retreat, sharing stories, enjoying a drink, or relaxing together in the hot tub overlooking the lake.

There is space here for both solitude and connection, reflection and celebration, stillness and adventure.
