Getting Here
Core Awakening , Northern Edge Algonquin Retreat Centre, Kawawaymog Lake Algonquin Park, South River, ON, Canada
Directions
The retreat takes place at Northern Edge Algonquin in Ontario, Canada, located within Algonquin Provincial Park.
The nearest major international airport is Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) in Toronto, Ontario.
From Toronto Pearson, the retreat center is approximately a 3 to 3.5 hour drive north.
You may choose to rent a car directly from the airport, which is the most convenient option.
For guests flying domestically within Canada, Toronto Pearson (YYZ) is also the recommended arrival airport.
There is no nearby commercial local airport with direct access to the retreat center, so ground transportation from Toronto is required.
We recommend coordinating car rentals or ride shares with other retreat participants for ease and connection.
Detailed driving instructions will be provided prior to arrival
Accommodation
Accommodation at Northern Edge Algonquin
Your stay is nestled within the forest, just steps from the lake, in thoughtfully designed cabins that balance comfort with nature immersion. Each cabin offers a cozy, peaceful atmosphere that allows you to truly unplug while still feeling supported and cared for.
Cabin options range from private retreats to shared spaces that foster connection and community. Interiors are simple, warm, and grounded in natural materials, allowing the surrounding forest to be the true luxury. Expect comfortable beds, screened windows with fresh air, and easy access to walking trails, waterfront views, and shared gathering spaces.
Dreamer’s Hill offers elevated privacy and expansive views, while Studio Cabins provide spacious layouts ideal for comfort. Habitat and Canopy Cabins bring you closer to the trees for a more intimate, nature-immersed experience.
This is not a hotel experience. It is intentional, peaceful, and rooted in the rhythm of the land. You wake up to birds, fall asleep to quiet, and live in harmony with the lake and forest for the duration of your stay.
