Yoga & Meditation Retreats

Join us for an unforgettable weekend. The Silent Yoga and Meditation Retreat “Reconnecting to Your Sacred Self” will allow you to explore different aspects of spiritual yoga life: meditations, yoga, and healthy walks in nature. Every day you will enjoy delicious organic vegetarian meals and pure Quebec Laurentian Mountain air, 2 hours north of Montreal!


Our retreat is held on the beautiful and peaceful site in Kio-o, which is a unique healing center, located in the heart of the beautiful Laurentian mountains. The quiet atmosphere, the private lake, the splendid view of the cliff, the mountain and the paths make the place a place of exceptional beauty that encourages calm and deep relaxation. Silence, clean mountain air and direct contact with nature are sources of constant inspiration.

New dates announced for 2023

  • Weekend March 10-12

The silence will begin on Friday at 8 p.m. and end on Sunday at 12 p.m. During the stay, you will be introduced to soft yoga, pranayama, guided meditation and silence, singing, coloring mandalas in order to harmonize your energy. You will also have free time to write in your personal journal to observe and record your personal and spiritual growth experiences throughout the weekend. Every day you will have time for yourself to walk and reconnect with nature during moments of free time to relax in complete freedom, all in silence on the beautiful site of Kio-O. We look forward to welcoming you. 😊

Here's what people had to say at our last retreat:

  • “Joanne is a great leader! She is confident and is a thoughtful guide, and I feel very appreciative that I know her and I could benefit from this experience.

    — Christine G. March 2022

  • "I will definitely do this again! I liked the after-affects and I can see how the more I meditated, the more I would continue to feel these affects."

    — Tracy M. March 2022

  • "This was a reminder of how vital silent retreats are to my well-being. When is the next one?!"

    — Mary P. March 2022

  • "I loved this wonderful silent guided meditation and yoga retreat. It is on a beautiful location, in the Laurentians, on a lake, with trails and very delicious satisfying meals."

    — Helen H. March 2022

  • "When I got back home I still had this meditative mind or feeling in my head, I continued to do journaling mandala coloring that night and the next. I wanted to remain in my meditation bubble and not be distracted by TV. When I went to the store on Monday, I sort of felt this harmonious feeling with everything around me, like I was more connected and grounded to the universe. It was really great!"

    - Samia A. March 2022

  • "I really felt a genuine love for what Joanne does, and sharing that with us as the retreat guide. She is quite compassionate and provided much flexibility with regard to supporting us through the weekend in general, and as we needed it to be. In contrast to other retreats that asks us to rigidly follow "the" schedule. This was much appreciated!!"

    - Amanda H. March 2022

  • "I was able to connect to my body (instead of thinking about my feelings, feeling my feelings--this distinction was my intention for the weekend)."

    -Joan S. March 2022

  • “I wanted to thank you for the good time I spent with you at the retreat. I loved your teaching of meditation and yoga. I had a great experience and beautiful personal insights.”

    - Chantal P. March 2022

  • I also wanted to thank you for the great weekend I spent with you, you are an amazing person, full of love and compassion. I felt very good as if I were at home, and yet I was afraid of the experience before arriving. I didn’t know what to expect when I spent a weekend with people I didn’t know. I felt great the moment we met. Good luck and see you soon, I hope.

    -Arianne G.
