What to Expect:
At a magical location on the West Coast of Canada, you will enjoy luxurious accommodations that will nourish your spirit. Delicious meals are prepared to fuel your body with culinary delights from our beautiful rainforest island.
We believe that healing starts as a journey into oneself. Come and discover how the Nature Spirits can assist you and your clients in this journey.
This course will provide an opportunity to experience and deepen the spiritual aspect of yourself. You will be meeting healers from all over the world who share the same purpose: that of increasing their awareness and their ability to feel and connect with the energy forces present in Nature. Through meditation, sharing of stories, and experiential learning we will embark on an adventure that is sure to affect and benefit your life.
During this retreat you will:
- Immerse yourself in the beauty of Canada’s Pacific Northwest
- Learn how to use the Essences and the five elements easily and effectively for your own health and healing
- Learn how to select Essences for your friends and family
- Become an Energy Medicine® Practitioner*
- Practice Qi Gong to enliven the five elements in our own Body/Mind
*Note: To became a certified Energy Medicine® Practitioner, after the course it is necessary to submit five case studies. The case studies will be evaluated and, if approved, the Practitioner certificate awarded.
Food and Accommodation:
We stay at a beautiful location on the west coast of Vancouver Island, BC - Wild Coast Wilderness Resort. A variety of accommodation types are available, from private cabins to private or shared rooms in the Lodge. Retreat space is limited, so register early to reserve your spot!
Three amazing meals a day are included in your registration, as well as an abundance of snacks and tea breaks. Accommodations can be made for allergies or vegan diets, just let us know.

We are delighted once again to share with you the connection and the appreciation we have for the Plant Spirits that make up the Pacific Essences® repertory. These beings continuously amaze and honour us by their presence, and being invited to work with them has been an incredible gift. It is a pleasure as well to share the beauty and the splendour of the Pacific Northwest.
