Getting Grounded with Heidi MacPherson

When asked to describe the Create + Nourish Tofino wellness retreat, Heidi mused, “Expect to be nourished in the most creative way. Open your day with a tempo that meets your body; close the day with nourishing sound baths and Yoga Nidra; and repeat.”

How’s that for setting an intention for the energy around this blissful retreat weekend!

“We are already over 40% sold-out, but activities are first come, first serve,” explained Heidi. “Each time block has approximately 4 activities to choose from. Creative sessions are filling up, especially Cedar & Kelp Basket Weaving, Creative Expressive Arts, sound baths, and the cultural excursion to Opitsaht (Meares island) with drumming, traditional song, and yoga. Nordic sauna bookings are also close to filling up.

“It’s going to be an incredible retreat, and I, along with all of the facilitators, are incredibly honoured by the early excitement from the participants.”
