Imagine this..

A retreat full of Big, Beautiful Women who are all on their own journey towards Wellness. Smart women, Funny women, Scared women, Moms, Sisters, Friends. All with stories to tell, all with lives full of joy and tragedy. The one thing they all have in common is that they are living in Plus Size bodies, and that alone brings them together.

These women range in age from about 30 to 60 and they are all in different places regarding accepting their body size. Some may not feel limited by their body size and live above the judgment of society; others are engaged in a daily struggle with their emotions, bodies, and families to achieve an inner calm.

Our workshop room is  sunny, bright and if it is chilly we can light a big wood fire. There is plenty of space for all of us to enjoy Tiina’s yoga instruction. Whether this is your first time with Yoga or you have years of experience, this location and Tiina’s supportive leadership will provide you with a comfortable, casual opportunity to move your body. Remember, all classes at this retreat are non-vigorous, gentle and optional to attend.

We will use this room for all of our NON YOGA activities!

Did we mention that one of the other reasons we picked the Ecology Centre for our Retreat is because we heard that the food is DELICIOUS and HEALTHY! Just what we were looking for!

This retreat is for all of us. This is not a Pity Party! This is an opportunity to look past the tag size and look at the women inside! We will be discussing practical ways to find the strength to be proud, to stay active, and to take care of ourselves. We are beautiful women, inside AND outside. It is time to stand taller, shoulders back, chin up and find NEW and POSITIVE ways to live in the skin you are in.

So, What Happens at A Big Beautiful Wellness Retreat??

From the time you arrive on Friday you will be enjoying the company of women who understand what your life is like. They face the same challenges, and are overcoming the same hurdles. They will be from all walks of life, each of them bringing their own wisdom and insights to our experience.

Hear what Liz thought of the weekend!

Whether it is with a morning coffee in hand, walking through the new spring growth, sitting around a blazing bonfire, or chatting like kids in our rooms – come to meet new friends!

I can’t wait!
