SISTERHOOD SUMMER CAMP

Sisterhood Summer Camp is a space to take a pause from daily life to immerse yourself in nature, connect with like-minded women, learn about herbal medicinal in a nourishing two day retreat.

You’ll be lovingly held in a space designed to support your nervous system to unwind as you form lasting connections with the plants and sisters present. The weekend will include deep belly laughs, new friendships, beach fires, embodiment workshops, yoga classes, nature walks, herbal medicine making, healthy home cooked meals, and chance to unplug with no cell service.

The beautiful lake front homestead is situated 15 minutes away from Kalso, about an hour from Nelson.

August 14-16th

Additional Information
The stay is comfortable but rustic. The beds have blankets, pillows, and a good mattress. We are off grid and have limited hot water for showers. The shower is private but outside. We use compost toilets, which means the waste is eventually composted and returned to the earth. (If you have questions feel free to ask.)

The homestead is a 15 minute boat ride (we will pick you up and transport you). This is part of the adventure! We are about 20 minutes from Search and Rescue.

There is no cell service on the land but we have wifi that you may use.

A welcome package will be sent out with more info about what to bring and what to expect upon registration, but please feel free to reach out and ask any questions.
