Honouring the end of a season and energy shift 

September 11th–13th, 2026 | Centre de Vie, Ripon, QC

 

 

End of Summer Serenity: A Seasonal Transition

As the vibrant energy of summer begins to soften, we invite you to find your stillness. This is your “gentle pause”—a weekend designed to help you harvest the vitality of the sun and prepare your mind and body for the grounded transition into autumn.

Step away from the demands of daily life and into the peaceful embrace of Centre de Vie. Tucked into the rolling hills of Ripon, this retreat is a rare opportunity to honour your journey through the seasons and reclaim your balance before the world speeds up again.

The Weekend Experience

We will spend our days honouring the season’s shift through a curated blend of vitalizing morning flows and deeply restorative evening sessions. Between practices, the weekend is yours to design:

  • Explore: Wander the forest trails and breathe in the crisp, pre-autumn air, many incredible bike routes to explore from property

  • Restore: Indulge in the deep, metabolic rest of our Nordic sauna.

  • Connect: Share stories and laughter around the fire or over gourmet, farm-to-table meals.

Your Sanctuary Includes:

  • The Movement: A balance of yoga specifically designed to release summer tension and invite grounded clarity.

  • The Nourishment: Three days of organic, chef-prepared vegetarian meals served in our supportive community.

  • The Stillness: Guided meditation, serene lookout points for journaling, and the simple joy of a digital detox.

The Outcome

The end of summer holds a special kind of magic—a gentle invitation to slow down and breathe. Give yourself the gift of this serene pause. Come as you are, and leave with a sense of deep peace and the renewed energy needed for the season ahead.

We’ll meet for our opening practice Yoga at 4 pm on Friday afternoon once you settle in. Check in is 2:30 p.m . Then we’ll gather for an incredible farm-to-table vegetarian meal, followed by a relaxing evening (optional sauna and sitting by the outdoor bonfire). Saturday morning will start with an early morning 1 hour session, followed by breakfast, a nature walk, more Yoga followed by lunch. In the afternoon, you can enjoy more forest time, the sauna will be on and small clay lake to dip into, or perhaps you’d rather get a massage, or cozy up with a book by the outdoor fire. The early evening Yoga will be 4:30 p.m  We will enjoy another delicious meal before a laid back night by the bonfire, sauna sessions and good conversations. Sunday will start with breakfast followed by nature walk and Yoga,  lunch then check out by 2:30 p.m.
