About Serenity Retreat
Join us for the Serenity Retreat, a gathering rooted in the intention to explore the interconnectedness of self and others. This retreat invites you to deepen your relationship with yourself, while opening your heart to the beauty of nature.
Morning yoga practices will offer space for quiet reflection, grounding you in your own essence. Through partner yoga, we’ll embody trust, support, and presence. In the spirit of giving and receiving, we’ll engage in practices rooted in devotion to both self and sangha—mindful experiences like a tea ceremony, co-creating a vibrant mandala, spending soulful time in nature, sharing our voices collectively through kirtan, and other amazing activities.
The essence of this retreat is to honour the dance between solitude and togetherness, and remember that within the heart of community, we find deeper reflections of ourselves, while feeling the support of community.
This is our fifth year of hosting retreats at the beautiful Harmony Dawn Retreat Centre, nestled on 50 acres of rolling meadows and forests. Completely self-sufficient and off the power grid, Harmony Dawn offers pristine country air with some of the highest oxygen levels in Ontario. Its serene Rice Lake, with its shallow, inviting waters, is perfect for a refreshing swim. Nourishing homemade meals feature herbs and vegetables grown on-site and sourced from surrounding organic farms, adding to the retreat’s grounding experience.

Harmony Dawn Details
Harmony Dawn was built in 2003 and was custom designed as a green retreat centre, using most of the sustainable energy technologies available. It was voted one of the greenest buildings in Canada. It also incorporates the owners' Feng-shui and Yin-Yang knowledge.
The Yoga Studio: The studio is bermed into the top of the hill, while the front offers sunny, expansive views of rolling hills through their 10-foot, floor-to-ceiling, high-tech windows. You feel as if you are sitting out in a high, open meadow and foxes, turkeys, and deer occasionally walk by. Berming is the technique of totally or partially covering a building in earth to take advantage of the temperature of the earth, 55 F or 13 C., through all seasons. Their studio also has radiant-heated floors, which can adjust to the required room temperature. There is a living “green roof” over the studio.
Accommodations: Their central pod houses the living room, bedrooms and washrooms and is also partially bermed. All floors boast large windows; all washrooms have heated floors. There is a wood-burning, glass-windowed masonry fireplace in the living room, which heats all three floors. Please let us know your preference to stay with another practitioner(s), we will do our best to honour the request.

Meals: Nicola has had a life-long passion for food and cooking going back to her childhood. She has worked in the food industry, had her own catering company, and found the perfect outlet for her food passion and knowledge as Chef of Harmony Dawn. Her cuisine encompasses international cooking from across the planet and speciality diets, including lacto-vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, gluten-free, macrobiotic and more. She is a passionate advocate for fresh, local and organic food whenever possible.
