In short
The property is where much of the work happens: private sessions, retreats, the Lighthouse meditation group and corporate field trips. Facilities and availability are confirmed for each booking, and the property can also be rented for aligned events. The photographs on this page show the real rooms and grounds.
What is on the property?
The property is rural and quiet. The main parts are:
- The Lighthouse cabin. A wood cabin among the trees, used for retreats, corporate field trips and the meditation group Carl runs.
- The pond. Swimming in the pond is part of retreat weekends, and team days include an unwind hour by the water.
- Forest walks. Guided and informal nature walks run on the property.
- The fire pit. An evening campfire is part of retreats and overnight stays.
- Session rooms and a gathering room. Bright rooms with hardwood floors and large windows over the grounds, for private sessions and groups.
What did the Lighthouse cabin look like before restoration?
The photograph below was taken before the Lighthouse cabin was restored: a log cabin among spruce trees on the lawn. It is shown as it was, so you can see how far the place has come.
What happens at the property?
Most one-to-one work happens here: private sessions with Carl Nissen and other EHF practitioners and facilitators, in rooms with natural light. Carl also runs a meditation group at the Lighthouse, and current availability is confirmed on request.
Retreats use the cabin, the pond and the forest, and corporate teams come for a field trip away from the office. A retreat weekend at the cabin can include an EHF energy session, home-cooked meals, sauna time, guided mindfulness meditation, forest walks, swimming in the pond and an evening campfire. Dates and details are on request.
Community groups use the space too: the Rotary Club of Caledon Palgrave has held meetings and retreats here.
Why a rural setting?
A rural setting gives people space to step out of the workday. The property is roughly an hour north of Toronto, close enough for a day trip and quiet enough to slow down once you arrive. The cabin, the pond and the forest are simply there, and nothing about the day needs to be rushed.
Can I rent the property for an event?
Yes. The rural property, the Lighthouse cabin and the pond are available to rent for aligned events and gatherings. If you are planning a visit, a gathering or a workshop, contact us to confirm the facilities, availability and arrangements for your enquiry.
Where else do retreats and bookings take place?
Corporate, school and recovery-program bookings can also take place on-site across Ontario. Retreats may take place at partner venues, including Vancouver Island, British Columbia, and the location is confirmed before you commit.
Retreat tuition and accommodation are always priced and paid separately. All prices are in Canadian dollars, and payments run through Square.
