Getting Here

The Sentinel, 5278 Amundsen Road, Kaslo, BC V0G 1M0, Canada

Directions

We are a 50-minute drive north of Nelson, BC, just outside the charming village of Kaslo. We are 9 hours by car from Vancouver, and 8 hours from Calgary. These drives are incredibly beautiful, wending through some of North America's most spectacular mountain terrain. There are flights (approx. 1 hour) from both Vancouver & Calgary to our nearest airport, in Castlegar, which is a scenic 1.5 hours from our door.

Driving from Nelson, follow highway 3A north to Balfour (Kootenay Lake ferry landing), and proceed another 20-25 minutes on Highway 31 north. There is a "Sentinel Retreat" blue road sign on the highway (approx. 60 km from Nelson). Slow down and prepare to take a sharp right turn onto Amundsen Road. The Sentinel is located at bottom of the hill. Please observe signs.

Life changing, empowering and profound

I just completed the Awaken program at the Sentinel and it was profound and life changing! Not only did I get clarity about my purpose in life, but the transformation, revelations, and the rememberance I experienced left me with an empowering, optimistic and powerful outlook on life and my spiritual evolution.

The growth and spiritual development I got was nothing that I could’ve gotten on my own and I am forever grateful for this.

Awaken your heart

As I woke up on my last morning in this incredible place and prepared to return to move back to my world and life I still cannot fully comprehend the life changing experience I had here. I was in no way prepared for what I stepped into when I arrived at the Sentinel but during the whole journey and every step of the process I was accompanied by a team of people who let me walk my own path but when I needed there was someone there each time I asked. The tools and practices that I have learnt at The Sentinel with all the wonderful sessions spent doing mindful Yoga, regenerating breath work, honest open discussion work in groups or one on one will enable me to retain the benefits I have walked away with and continue to feel them in my new approach to life. The Sentinel is beautifully located on Lake Kootenay and watched over by Mount LoKi on the other side of the lake. The Sentinel retreat offers a peaceful place to unwind with super comfortable rooms, private bathrooms, exceptional food catering to all tastes, nature walks, swimming in the lake, canoes and kayaks and places to sit and immerse yourself in the beauty that this very special place offers. I have never seen a brighter future for me than the one I am looking at now as I leave the Sentinel and If you are looking to get in touch with yourself and find the real you and live a full and happy life then I cannot recommend the Sentinel enough.

Awaken 2 retreat

I was someone who you could consider closed off to these type methods and what not, but this was hands down the best thing I could have done. The Sentinel saved my life and my marriage. We were able to dive deep into myself to find the real issues that I was dealing with in my day to day life. I highly recommend going to a retreat at The Sentinel, completely changed my life for the better.

Life changing experience

Where do I even start!? I attended the awaken retreat this past week, and I can truly say it has altered my understanding and appreciation for life itself. The guidance and help from the leaders of the retreat allowed me to tap into a newfound presence and love for myself and those around me I never knew was there. They are truly masters of their practice. I can not recommend them enough. They are changing humanity as we know it!

Life Changing transformation in Kaslo!

My time at the Sentinel wellness center in Kaslo was nothing short of life changing. The space created by the owners Richard and Gillian is unlike any other I've known; Deeply peaceful, impeccably grounded and profoundly sacred. Whether you come for healing, self discovery, spiritual awakening, energetic clearing or simply peaceful relaxation and time in natural beauty, you will be met by Richard, Gillian and their team of gifted personnel with care, clear guidance and a sense of safety that allows whatever transformation you are up to to unfold with grace. I left feeling more whole, more aware and forever grateful for the light and wisdom that they share and the peace that emanates from this special retreat!
