It is time to take some serious YOU time.
This weekend has serious GIRL'S WEEKEND VIBE all over it.
Healing happens in the joyous moments of life, it doesn't all need to be so serious and precise.
This retreat offers you a place to unwind, destress, laugh, move and play.
Did I mention the massage with our on site RMT?
You deserve to feel satiated and I want to do it.
A satiated woman overflows with her natural essence.
A satiated woman knows that she deserves the best.
A satiated woman is not afraid to ask for what she wants.
A satiated woman feeds the world.
Do you feel satiated, hungry or even starving?
Some reasons to join us on retreat this summer:
You work a lot.
You take care of other people, in your free time, at your job etc.
You have a hard time saying no and don't leave any space for yourSelf - hello boundaries.
You want a weekend away.
You want a break from cooking
You forget what it feels like to feel fully YOU.
You can't remember the last time you took time just for you.
You want some laughter in your life.
It has been a WILD ride the past few years...we all need some TLC.
Whatever the reason, come spend the weekend with women, in nature and let me take care of you.
This is a space just for YOU.
As women we get caught up in taking care of others, whether that is your friends, family, co-workers, pets, the world, etc. This is a space held by women for women, because we know what it means to be a woman in this day and age.
Come fill your cup with us this July.
Have some laughs, eat good food, be in good company, receive a massage, move your body, take some deep breaths and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
Yukes retreat is nestled in the woods, on a small lake with water access on the property.
Jessy (hi, that is me, your main host) has hosted over 25 retreats, hosted women's circles for 8 years, has 13 years experience in Reiki, 15 in Meditation and 12 in Yoga. My own journey is full of moments of suffering until I finally found my way back home to mySELF. Mostly self taught I believe in the independence of the Self as the greatest guide you could have. Come explore sisterhood and open with me.

Let's take a moment and paint a picture of retreat.
Imagine if you will...
Waking up each day, connecting to breath, meditate and move, coming home to your body and Self before enjoying a home cooked breakfast.
Spend time in The Womb Temple with us after breakfast, our daily women's circle and ritual work.
Spend your afternoons on the dock, in the gazebo, taking a nap, grab your book or journal...
Enjoy a massage by our on location RMT Melissa Kerr.
maybe take the kayak or paddle board out for a spin - maybe you just want to float in a donut in the water.
Enjoy the slowness of it all. No one to take care of. Nowhere to go. Nothing to do. You simply get to exist and be cared for.
This is about women coming together for the sake of being together.

89 Yukes Dr, Eganville, ON
Located approx. 4 hours north of Toronto close to Eganville, ON.
Yukes Retreat is tucked away and surrounded by a combination of forests and farm land. You will see plenty of maple syrup lines running through the trees as you get closer to the property. Yukes is nestled up in the hills where cell service is minimal, the perfect equation for optimal relaxation and being in the moment. The lake house is cozy and feels like home; it was previously owned by a loving couple who lived there until their 80s and has that rustic charm of a house well loved.
Yukes Retreat sits on a semi-private lake and is home to only 7 cottages and features amenities such as:
- electric outdoor sauna
- fire pit + chiminea
- lakeside gazebo with infrared heater
- 4 bedrooms in the main house
- shared guest quarters known as "the neighbourhood", sleeps 4
- 2 full bathrooms
- 1 powder room
- sun room & second story balcony
- 2 gas fireplaces
- cozy nook on lower level for reading, colouring, journalling
You can see more photos of the property on the Yukes Retreat Centre page.
