Join Andrea and Satjeet, co-owners of Nectar Retreat Centre, through a Silent Day Retreat. Located on Bowen Island, just a 20-minute ferry ride from Vancouver, these sought-after journeys into silence offer calm and reinvigoration. Learn new meditation techniques, mind-opening breathwork, and engage in restorative movement practices that bring tranquility to your being. By stepping away from speech and external noise, attendees often experience a heightened ability to tune into their hearts, gain clarity, and connect with nature.

Whether you're new to meditation or a seasoned practitioner, this retreat offers the perfect immersion to start or deepen your practice.
