What’s Your Ideal Summer Vacation?

By: Linda Vanderlee

Imagine lazing in a hammock next to a babbling brook, finally having time to read a fat book or engaging in a deep conversation that brings insight and clarity.

Living Aligned Learning Vacations are guided retreats that provide an opportunity for you to ‘reflect, realign and rejuvenate’ – to nourish your body and soul, and meet others who have the same dream. When you register we will have a conversation about your vision of an ideal vacation, and together we will make it happen.

Guided by a body-mind-spirit philosophy, each day will include an opportunity to do something physical (yoga, swim, walk), to participate in a facilitated conversation about what is most important to you, and time to follow your own desires. We’ll share at least one healthy delicious lunch or supper together daily. For those who wish, we will reconnect on the big deck for a late afternoon check-in over tea or wine. Evenings could bring a campfire, a paddle on the lake, playing with paint, or an exuberant moving of our bodies to some funky dance music!
 
There are many options for you to enjoy your free time: perhaps you crave a delicious massage or a shady tree to lean against as you unravel your thoughts and feelings in your journal. Only five minutes away, the Gatineau Park beckons for those who enjoy hiking, cycling or swimming. Others may prefer to hang out in the nearby village of Wakefield, taking in the shops or enjoying the view of the Gatineau River leisurely slipping by as you enjoy a drink at a café or bar. A bunch of us might end up taking in a band at the famous Black Sheep Inn one evening. The choice will be yours.

Living Aligned Learning Vacations  take place in a magical rural setting in Rupert, QC, a mere 45 minutes north of downtown Ottawa.  Come alone or with a friend or partner.  The maximum group size is 10.  Private retreats for one or more persons are also available.  A range of local accommodation choices are available both on and off site. Retreats are 3, 5 or 7 days long and summer dates are posted on the website at www.rendezvousrupert.org.

So what kind of summer vacation would nourish you? Come to Rupert this summer and make it happen!
