About the event
Exhale is a 3-night retreat designed to help you soften your grip—on effort, on urgency, on the quiet ways you’ve been holding it all together. Stacey Madden will be there throughout the retreat to offer somatic practices and supportive inquiries that help a stressed nervous system settle, so you can leave feeling refreshed, supported, and ready to return home gently.
There will be plenty of time to tour Salt Spring Island and rest in nature—wander the trails, sit by the water, nap, read, and let your days open up so your body can catch up with you. You’ll also be nourished with organic, vegetarian, garden-fresh meals and herbal teas prepared with care—an easy, gustatory reset and a simple invitation to practice mindful eating.
