A lesson of clear communication, follow through and timing.
It was meant to be this way… redirection is a gift, although I am still learning what this gift is. There’s a lot of great things happening in my personal life, perhaps this is giving me space to be present for it.
How it happened:
At IrieTreat 2024, it was announced that in 2025 we would gather May 1-5 to Nurture the Source, for our annual wellness discovery retreat.
A change in management at New Denver Lodge, and my decision to not send them a deposit during the fires last year (would there be a lodge to go to? The fires were very close) led to losing our requested and anticipated dates.
Switching to May 8-11 didn’t bode well. With only 4 of 10 rooms filled, the tough decision to postpone until next year had to be made. Folks were fully reimbursed and the letting go was done.
Between soccer matches, dance recitals, a Blue Jays game, celebrations of life and Mother's Day, IrieTreat 2025 just wasn’t in the cards for those that had planned to attend.
So thankful for the support and understanding from those that had committed to it this year, I honour their courage and enthusiasm to treat themselves well, and hope they can join us next year.
The good news is that the lodge is honouring our deposit for 2026, so there will be no changes of date, the deposit is already paid. This time when you save the date, it’s really really the date!
April 23-26, 2026 is set, under a growing moon, blossoms will be budding and so will we!
A whole year to build anticipation and plan for the best retreat yet.
If you would like to save your room now, let us know with an email or text 250-427-8007, and we can arrange a phone call to discuss the details. A $99 deposit will save your space.
Nurture the Source at New Denver Lodge with massage, acupuncture, hydrotherapy, yoga, and amazing meals in a naturally gorgeous setting.
