About this Retreat

Details of this retreat

A community event at The Sentinel
We're bringing together an incredible lineup of gifted practitioners—Karuna + Paul Erickson, Trisha Wilson, Bernadett Shayla, and Robert Blackmore—for two days designed to nourish your mind, body, and spirit in the peaceful setting of The Sentinel.

Whether you want to dance, stretch, or simply unwind, you're welcome to jump into individual sessions or dive into the full immersion experience!

Lunch will be provided both days.

DAY 1 | Saturday May 23rd: Karuna + Paul Erickson, Trisha Wilson 

10:00 - 1:00 pm - Heart Yoga

1:00 - 2:00 pm - LUNCH

2:00 - 5:00 pm - Heart Yoga

Spring is a natural time of both inner and outer awakening. Celebrate spring and nourish your body, heart, and spirit by joining Karuna, Paul and Trisha for a day of gentle yoga and meditation.  Through our practice, we will deepen our connection with and embody the natural qualities of the heart: loving kindness, compassion, joy, and equanimity.  The beauty and inspiration surrounding us in the peaceful setting of The Sentinel support you to relax, let go, and return home to your true nature.

 



 

DAY 2 | Sunday May 24th: Bernadett Shayla and Robert Blackmore 

10:00 - 12:00 pm - Heart Chakra Dance with Bernadett

12:00 - 2:00 pm - LUNCH

2:00 - 4:00 pm - Sound Healing & *Light Code Readings with Robert Blackmore

Bernadett Shayla offers Heart Chakra Dance, an accessible and uplifting morning session to open Sunday with joy and connection. Through conscious movement, participants explore the energy of the heart chakra in an inclusive and welcoming space.

Robert Blackmore closes the weekend with Sound Healing and Light Code Readings. This session offers a deeply restorative journey through therapeutic sound, followed by *personalized light code readings — an opportunity for profound relaxation and individual insight to carry home from the weekend.

*Please note - light code readings are an additional charge of $55/person paid directly to Robert

 

Getting Here

Location icon The Sentinel, 5278 Amundsen Rd, 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.

Accommodation

All our King and shared Twin rooms have stunning views of the lake and mountains. Whether you opt for a luxurious private King or a shared Twin, all our rooms are clean and modern.

Overlooking spectacular Kootenay Lake, the Lodge, with its massive windows and expansive deck affords breathtaking lake & mountain views. The Maloca, a magnificent round, timbered ceremonial and activity space, seems to float above the lake. A short stroll from the Lodge, the Sentinel's spa deck, with its unique wood-fired sauna and cedar-lined hot tub is a favourite gathering spot for guests, year-'round. 700' of lakefront, with deck, firepit and yoga area is a tranquil spring/summer area.

Idyllic Retreat - Pick Your Own Adventure Style
Thank you so much to the Sentinel Team for such a sweet stay for my partner and me! We were enamored by the quiet beauty of Lake Kootaney, the warm communal atmosphere created by the staff and guests, especially during the delicious, nourishing chef breakfast (smoothies and coconut chia pudding - yes please!) The office desk was responsive, friendly, and gave excellent suggestions for meals and walks to take. We loved the gorgeous mountain view from the room, spending afternoons in the woodfire sauna and hot tub, exploring the beautifully curated buildings and outdoor spaces, and the nearby Kaslo. So much gratitude for this rejuvenating experience - can't wait to return soon!

Sentinel experience
The sentinel is an absolutely beautiful space the setting is amazing. The spa is a great way to start the day with a sunrise soak in the hot tub followed by a cold plunge in the copper tub. Sauna fired up for an afternoon sweat. The Maloka has a very good energy to it. Lastly the staff are extremely friendly and helpful and the food was delicious. Highly recommend the sentinel.
