Experience serenity in nature in the most luxurious yoga retreat center

BLOOM HOLISTIC RETREAT

led by studio founder, Rachelle Wintzen

Chi Junky invites you to the most stunning and luxurious retreat center that will take your breath away and leave you completely zenned out. Nestled on 700 acres of land with more than 25 kilometres of beautiful hiking trails immersed in the forest, wetlands and lakefront, just 20 minutes north of Kingston on Loughborough Lake. The stunning architecture of this new retreat center boasts grand floor-to-ceiling windows with scenic views in every room. No detail is left behind with a large living room complete with a library and fireplace, a magnificent yoga studio that overlooks the lake and a dining area with 35 foot ceilings. Each guest room has its own private en-suite with a warm design that will make you feel right at home. Along with daily yoga and meditation, farm to table vegetarian meals and an atmosphere that welcomes deep rest, it is the most spectacular getaway that will transcend you into bliss all weekend long.

About the retreat

Experience deep rest and tranquility, connecting to the healing power of nature, daily yoga, meditation and indulging your taste buds with the culinary magic of organic farm to table meals. A scenic drive 2.5 hours from Toronto, check in is at 4pm Friday afternoon with time to settle in before our first practice to start the weekend together. Post practice we will gather for a beautiful dinner followed by a relaxing evening restorative practice. Take time to rest by the fireplace in the cozy living room with a book, journal or conversation. Saturday morning is yours to sleep in or wake up early to take in the fresh air. Coffee and tea is available anytime. We start the day together with a morning practice in the lakefront studio followed by lunch. The time is yours in the afternoon to explore, snowshoe, ice skate on the private rink, hike or rest before our afternoon practice followed by another beautiful meal together. Saturday afternoon we will also have the sauna going for a relaxing sweat and lake cold plunge. Our evenings are capped off with a restorative practice to wind down the day and settle into a restful sleep. Sunday will start with our morning practice followed by brunch. Check out is at 12pm but you are welcome to enjoy the outside property for the afternoon to connect deeper into nature. The winter retreat strives to provide an incredible experience with a location that will simply wow you, delicious nourishing meals and of course, Chi Junky Yoga.

TESTIMONIALS

This Chi Junky retreat was the perfect balance of restoration and activity at a beautiful facility. My physical, spiritual and mental health were all taken such great care of from start to finish, and I left feeling rejuvenated. Thank you so much to Rachelle for leading us through such a satisfying and memorable weekend!

Previously my retreats were primarily focused on practices with less time for leisure and other activities (it's not bad, but it's a very intensive time, and you try to survive-). With Chi Junky I felt like I spent a very qualitative weekend in the company of like-minded people with yoga, restorative practices, a unique place by the lake, and healthy food. All agenda was balanced, and everything was on time; there was nothing to add. I had a deep mood of fulfilment and relaxation. When one day someone asks me to imagine the most pleasant moment, I will remember this retreat and the place.

The Chi Junky x Bloom retreat came at the perfect time, and was led with such grace and intention. The location was stunning, the food was beyond all expectations - both healthy and delicious, and the practices were better than anything I've experienced. Never has time passed so quickly! We were very lucky with an amazing, sunny weekend so that we could fully enjoy the serene setting. I wouldn't change anything and would go back in a heartbeat! Thank you Chi.
