About this Event

This is a 3-day therapeutic retreat from August 17–19, 2026 .

Are you 20–35 and feeling stuck in survival mode? Struggling with anxiety, burnout, sleep disruption, or feeling disconnected from yourself and others?

Join us August 17–19, 2026 at the Cheakamus Centre in Squamish, BC for an immersive, clinically grounded nature-based therapy retreat designed to support nervous system regulation, meaningful reflection, and reconnection.

Beyond Survival is led by Registered Clinical Counsellors and blends therapeutic practice with guided nature experiences. This is not a typical wellness retreat. It is a professionally facilitated space for experiential healing, group connection, and intentional reset.
