Join The Vibrant Yogi Community and founder, Kelsey Carignan for RELEASE; a soul-inspiring journey hosted on the captivating shores of Bowen Island BC.
Let the island hold you as you exhale the weight you’ve been carrying. With each breath, the tides remind you how to let go—ebb and flow, surrender and soften. Through yoga, meditation, and soul-nourishing rituals, you’ll be guided to release what no longer serves, making space for light to pour in.
This retreat is not about striving, but about shedding. Like leaves falling in autumn, you’ll step into your own season of release—lighter, freer, and ready for the quiet clarity that follows.
To Book Your Stay we require a $350 non-refundable deposit. The remaining amount of $700 will be due on December 1, 2025 to secure your spot!
