With Karuna + Paul Erickson, Trisha Wilson, Robert Blackmore and JoAnn Lowell
October 3 - 4, 2026
Come join us for a Fall Community event at The Sentinel
We’re bringing together an incredible lineup of gifted practitioners—Karuna + Paul Erickson, Trisha Wilson, JoAnn Lowell, and Robert Blackmore—for two days designed to nourish your mind, body, and spirit in the peaceful setting of The Sentinel.
Whether you want to practice yoga, stretch, or simply unwind, you’re welcome to jump into individual sessions or dive into the full immersion experience!
Lunch will be provided both days.
DAY 1 | Saturday October 3rd: Karuna + Paul Erickson & Trisha Wilson
10:00 – 1:00 pm – Heart Yoga
1:00 – 2:00 pm – LUNCH
2:00 – 5:00 pm – Heart Yoga
Autumn is a sacred threshold—a time to gently release and transform outdated patterns that no longer serve us, receive the essence of what is deeply true for us, and reflect on the abundant harvest of our lives. During this season, we are called to slow down and listen to the wisdom of our hearts.
Returning Home is an invitation to remember who and what we are and experience our interconnection with all that is. As we connect with the beauty around us in the peaceful surroundings of The Sentinel, we will practice gentle yoga and heart-centred meditations. Together we will create space to rest deeply, receive fully, and open ourselves to the grace that is ever present when we stop striving and simply allow ourselves to be.
Whether you are seeking renewal, clarity, rest, or space to reconnect with yourself, this retreat is an invitation to come home to the loving presence that we all truly are.

DAY 2 | Sunday October 4th: JoAnn Lowell and Robert Blackmore
10:00 – 12:30 pm – Conscious Breathwork Circle with JoAnn Lowell
12:45 – 2:00 pm – LUNCH
