Alchemy of Creativity Day Retreat | Pisces + The Divine Echo
Themes: Dreaming | Dissolving | Water | Soul Depth
WHENSunday, March 1, 20261:00PM–5:30PM
WHERENectar Yoga Dome, Bowen Island, BC
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
This half-day art and yoga retreat weaves together gentle movement, breathwork, meditation, and dream-inspired watercolour practice. Pisces invites us to soften, dissolve, and listen, turning inward toward imagination and intuitive knowing.
The afternoon begins with a flowing yoga sequence to attune the body to slowness and fluidity. Guided breathwork settles the nervous system before moving into intuitive mark-making, soft watercolour layering, and seascape-inspired expression. Ambient soundscapes support a quiet drift into creativity, allowing images and emotions to rise naturally.
No artistic experience is needed, only a willingness to follow where the water leads.

Getting Here

Location icon Nectar Yoga, 720 Gardner Lane, Bowen Island, BC, Canada

Directions

We are a ten-minute drive from Snug Cove, where the ferry docks on Bowen Island.

No vehicle? Take the local bus (280 Bluewater). Just tell the driver you would like to be dropped off at Nectar Yoga “just before Adams Road.” The bus runs on a semi-consistent basis—check timing before your trip. Walking from the cove takes 45-60 minutes, and hitch hiking is legal on Bowen Island.

We have free parking available on site labeled by numbers. Please pick any number but try to park tightly so we can accommodate everyone.

Accommodation

Whichever accommodation you choose, the moment you step into your room, you know you’ve entered a safe place to unwind and relax. Each space is imbued with its namesake stone’s positive vibrational properties and colour accents for support, grounding and attunement to the natural world.

We are a purpose built retreat centre imbued with a lot of love. We know you care about the highest quality group experience, and so do we! It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to Nectar Yoga Retreat.

The forest around the Nectar property is absolutely magical. The entire event was so deeply rejuvenating and the surrounding natural beauty supported that experience.

Life-Changing 'Ah-Ha's' Simply from Breathwork
Levels of awareness brought to a whole new level, through something we do every second of the day. Thank you Andrea and Nectar yoga for an experience of a lifetime that I've now shared with groups of friends who are feeling the same benefits and gratitude.

Nectar yoga silent retreat
I enjoyed the silent retreat at nectar yoga very much and look forward to coming back to attend another one. Andrea and Sat did an amazing job guiding us through a silent day. We learned many different techniques and meditation methods to take home with us. I thank them for their knowledge and gift in sharing. If you are looking to learn something new or improve your existing practice in a beautiful environment with experienced teachers this is your retreat. Highly recommended this to anyone.

Phenomenal experience!
We did the silent retreat with Andrea and Sat and it was a phenomenal experience. I’ve been to more than 15 yoga/meditation retreats (locally and abroad) and I have to say this was by far the best I’ve experienced.

The programming was extremely well laid out and clearly thought through down to the most minute detail. Andrea has a wide depth and breadth of knowledge and communicates this in a way that is very understandable to all levels of students. Her instruction is very clear, and she has very calming and soothing way in her guidance of the classes.

Physically, the space is stunning, the facilities are clean, stylish, yet warm and cozy, and the surroundings are beautiful and serene.

Highly recommend Andrea and Sat’s Nectar Yoga!
