What we’re about
Are you craving deeper connections in life? Not only with other people, but within yourself, the environment around you, the physical world you live in, the infinite universe, or The Divine itself? Our hope is to create opportunities for you to experience the connections that will allow you to find more satisfaction and wholeness in your life.
Whether you feel it through your mind, your body, or inner being, deep connection eludes many of us, in part due to the noise of the distractions around us every day, like technology, social media, cultural expectations, schedules too busy to manage, and more, that can all dampen our ability to make the very connections we're craving for in our everyday lives.
Through mindful, meaningful, and spiritual conversations, we hope to create a better world for all of us, one small step at a time, and our Nurturing Spirit Retreats provide an opportunity for meditation, gentle yoga, deep relaxation, spiritual conversations, and learning.
We are inclusive and value each person and living being on the planet. For more information or to find a group near you, please contact Debra@CreatingConnection.ca
We look forward to meeting you!

“…you too have come into the world to do this, to go easy, to be filled with light, and shine.”
*---*Mary Oliver, “When I am Among the Trees”
Join us as we celebrate the Summer Solstice, allowing the warmth of community and the warm rays of the sun to revitalize our spirits and shine a light into the darkness.
Slow down. Breathe. Release. Heal. Kindle the light within.
Spend time outside on the beautiful grounds of Hills of Peace campground, and let nature remind you of your sacred connection to all life. Explore healing spiritual practices to help ground and resource you for difficult times, integrating body, mind, heart and spirit. Shine the light of awareness inwards, illuminating places in need of healing, and finding the resources and courage you need to let your light shine.
Come and be part of this sacred community, as we share in practices and rituals to honor the light in ourselves, in each other, and be empowered to share it with the world.
