Whether you’re staying for the full weekend (Friday 5:00 PM to Sunday at 12 noon) or joining us for an unforgettable Saturday day pass, this is your moment to prioritize you.
Limited spots available.

Let’s gather. Let’s learn. Let’s age powerfully—together.
The Experience
Join this transformative weekend retreat designed to help you thrive in midlife and beyond. Whether this is your first retreat or your fifteenth, this immersive experience offers something deeply meaningful: the science-backed tools and supportive community to help you age with strength, clarity, and purpose. Grounded in the Six Pillars of Aging Powerfully—sustenance, strength training, sleep, stress management, sex and socializing—you’ll learn from Canada’s top experts through interactive workshops, expert-led sessions, and soul-nourishing experiences.
This isn’t about quick fixes or unrealistic expectations; it’s about discovering what your body and mind truly need to feel energized, resilient, and alive. You’ll leave feeling more informed, more empowered, and more connected—to yourself and to others on the same journey. Aging isn’t something to fear. It’s something to own. And this retreat is your invitation to do just that.
