Recharge Your Soul and Reconnect with Your Body

What Our Clients Are Saying

Shannon Blackbourn

You know when you get that feeling of kindness, compassion, grace and elegance all at once? That's what I felt the first time I had the opportunity to spend some one on one time with Eileen. She creates what feels like a bubble of positive energy around you, her voice is soft and soothing, and I notice a difference in my own energy within minutes of being in her presence. 

Erin tremblay


Truly a beautiful soul to work with, no matter what journey you are embracing. Every adventure with Mandi is a new opportunity for growth and healing; full of such deep love and compassion, patience and understanding. Thank you for your wisdom, truth, and trust. Hearts to you beautiful

Stephanie Jones

Honouring the changing of the season with Eileen is one of my favorite rituals. The space she creates is sacred and deeply rooted in honouring the earth and the women gathered. She makes space for us to witness all that has transpired good and bad. She calls out our highest vision and walks us through clearing the space we need to see our biggest dreams come true one season at a time. Setting aside the time to sit in these circles is truly a gift to yourself. I can't wait for the next one!

What sets this event apart

Welcome to Your Day of 'Rest'

Burnt out? Exhausted? Overwhelmed? No matter how much sleep you get you never seem to feel truly rested? Does it feel like you don’t even know what you need or want to recharge? Is overwhelm your “normal” where each day is another version of Groundhog Day? Another day where you attend to everyone else’s needs hoping that maybe, just maybe, you’ll eventually get to tend to your own? 

Do you fall into bed at night completely spent only to find yourself too wired to sleep? Anxiety and/or depression are familiar company… so is a glass (or 2 or 3) of wine if you’re being totally honest. Find yourself lashing out at your family or regularly crying in the shower?

You are not alone!

So many women we speak to every day are feeling this way. 

And we’ve been there too.

Eileen can remember a time when she cried so hard in the bathtub after hearing about yet another thing being piled onto her plate that she sent herself into an asthma attack. After melting down she told herself to woman up, be strong, and get through it… and she did, but it didn’t feel okay.

Mandi can remember a time when it was normal to wake up with a heavy pit of dread in her stomach, mixed with anxiety that wouldn't go away no matter what she tried. Deep down, she had a knowing—a sense that something was wrong or missing.

It is because of the stories we’ve heard and the ones that we’ve lived through that we felt called to create this day of true rest and replenishment for you.

A day to soothe your frazzled nervous system, to slow down and savour the shifting seasons, and to feel supported in community so that you don’t feel so alone amidst it all.

What you’ll Learn

Rest

What is rest? it is not just sleep. Not everyone wants (or even needs) a nap. You might be getting a solid 8 hours a night and still be exhausted. Our needs for rest and what counts as rest varies from person to person and through the different seasons as the energies shift around us.

Replenish

What replenishes you? Whether it’s about enjoying a guilt-free nap, intentionally slowing down in your day, or engaging your senses through playful activities, our retreat is designed to hep you discover what truly replenishes you.

Release

The barriers to true rest are real. They are ingrained in our culture and the way that we place so much value on productivity and on being selfless. This reality makes it hard to give ourselves the rest we truly need and deserve. To help you release the guilt and pressure that stops you from resting, we will use ceremony, visualization, and energy work. 

Reconnect

Reconnect with your needs, your desires, and your body. Reconnect with the wisdom that lives inside you and remember how worthy you truly are. Reconnect with the transformative power of women in community.

Our Clients

Stefani Wilton Hoyt

Love this woman and everything that she offers! I remember my first session with her and it was one of those moments that is pivotal in your life, that changes everything for you. I highly recommend Mandi for anyone who is looking for adjunct therapies in their mental health journey and cannot say enough about her prenatal massage.

Kellie Cornfort

When I was first invited to a Wheel of the Year ceremony, I thought it was another event to make time for in my calendar - another thing I had to do. After participating in a ceremony, I realized I had not been invited to an event, I had been invited into a way of being. Eileen creates a space that momentarily suspends the relentless demands of our culture to invite in the subtle forces that bring healing, rejuvenation, and joy. I no longer feel that I have to make time for these invitations because they allow me to create it.

Nikki

Truly a beautiful soul to work with, no matter what journey you are embracing. Every adventure with Mandi is a new opportunity for growth and healing; full of such deep love and compassion, patience and understanding. Thank you for your wisdom, truth, and trust. Hearts to you beautiful
