MYSTIC AVENUE RETREATS
Step away from the everyday and into sacred spaces designed for rest, reflection
and renewal with Mystic Avenue Retreats.
Welcome to Mystic Avenue Retreats
Mystic Avenue is growing—and with that growth comes a beautiful new way to deepen your connection to self, nature and community.
Mystic Avenue Retreats are thoughtfully curated experiences rooted in holistic healing, mindful practices, and soulful connection. Whether you’re joining us for a full weekend or a powerful one-day gathering, each retreat offers a unique opportunity to journey inward. With a blend of movement, stillness, ceremony, and community, our retreats are led by experienced facilitators who bring trauma-informed care, somatic healing, and sacred ritual into every offering.
Hosted in peaceful settings across Ontario, each retreat is a space to reconnect—with yourself, with others, and with the natural world. These are not vacations—they are meaningful containers for rest, awakening, and transformation.

A Celebration of Cannabis
Connection & Well-Being
September 19 (4:30 pm) to September 20 (noon)
Introduction
There comes a moment when a woman becomes curious. Curious about healing. About ancient wisdom. About slowing down long enough to reconnect with herself and the natural world. Herb & Harmony is an intimate weekend retreat for women ready to explore Cannabis through education, creativity, ritual, and meaningful connection.
Limited to just 11 women. Expect learning and laughter. Reflection and conversation. Quiet moments and shared experiences. Space to ask questions, discover, create, and simply be.
This is not about changing who you are. It is about deepening your connection to yourself, to nature, and to a plant that has supported human wellness for generations.
Why Herb & Harmony?
Many women spend their days caring for others, managing responsibilities, and navigating the constant demands of modern life. Rarely do they have the opportunity to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and learn in a supportive community of like-minded women.
- Herb & Harmony was created as an invitation to pause.
- To step away from the noise.
- To deepen your understanding of Cannabis.
- To reconnect with your creativity.
- To sit around the fire and share stories.
- To laugh, learn, create, and simply be.
- This is not a conference. It is not a classroom.
It is an immersive retreat experience that blends education with experience, learning with community, and wellness with joy.
What to Expect
Throughout the weekend, participants will enjoy a carefully curated blend of educational workshops, wellness practices, creative experiences, and community connection.
Cannabis Education
Led by Cannabis Educator and Advocate Abi Sampson, participants will explore:
- Cannabis history and culture
- Understanding cannabinoids and terpenes
- Intentional and mindful Cannabis use
- Cannabis for wellness and self-care
- Responsible and informed consumption
- Creating personal rituals and practices
- Hands-On Learning
One of the highlights of the weekend is the opportunity to create your own Cannabis-infused salve while learning practical skills you can bring home and continue using long after the retreat ends.

Day 1 | Saturday
Awakening the Dark Goddess
1. Arrival, Welcome & Retreat Orientation
Arrive at Mystic Avenue Retreat Centre, settle into your accommodations, receive your welcome gifts, and become familiar with the sacred spaces that will hold our journey.
2. Opening Circle: The Many Faces of the Goddess
Begin your experience by exploring the Triple Goddess and the many expressions of the Divine Feminine. Through storytelling, reflection and connection, we’ll discover that compassion, intuition, strength, boundaries and sovereignty are all sacred aspects of the whole woman.
3. Enjoy a Chef-Prepared Lunch
4. Time for Reflection & Restoration
Enjoy free time to experience the retreat grounds, including the swim spa, sauna, labyrinth, nature trails and quiet spaces for journalling or contemplation.
5. Workshop: Forging the Circle
Create your personal ritual offering and contribute to a collective spell that will become part of our Samhain evening ceremony. Together, we weave our individual intentions into one powerful expression of feminine wisdom.
6. The Ancestors’ Table
Gather for a candlelit Samhain feast honouring the women who came before us. Guests are invited to bring a photograph or symbolic item representing a woman from their ancestral lineage, or another inspiring woman from history or mythology whose legacy continues to guide them.
7. The Cauldron of Sovereignty
As the veil between worlds grows thin, we gather in sacred circle around the cauldron to honour our female ancestors, spirit guides and the Divine Feminine. Through ritual, intention and shared energy, we release what no longer serves us and reclaim the strength, wisdom, intuition and sovereignty that have always been ours.
8. The Wild Flame
The ritual transforms into celebration as black lights illuminate the room and we bless one another with glowing words of power using ultraviolet body paint. Through ecstatic dance, we embody the qualities we have reclaimed and celebrate the sacred freedom of moving without judgment.
9. Integration & Healing
The evening closes in stillness as we rest on our mats beneath the glow of the blessings we’ve received. Gentle music, meditation and healing energy provide space for reflection, restoration and integration.
Day 2 | Sunday
Embodying the Goddess
1. Sound Bath & Guided Meditation
Awaken to a peaceful morning practice designed to deepen your connection with your intuition, inner wisdom and the sacred feminine within.
2. Morning Yoga
Ground your experience through a gentle yoga practice that honours strength, balance and presence.
3. Enjoy a Chef-Prepared Breakfast
4. Sacred Free Time
Enjoy one final opportunity to relax in the sauna or swim spa, walk the labyrinth, connect with nature or simply reflect on your journey.
5. Closing Ritual
Gather one final time in sacred circle to honour what has been reclaimed, celebrate the women who have walked beside you, and carry the spirit of the Dark Goddess into your everyday life.
Reserve Your Spot
Throughout the weekend you’ll enjoy chef-prepared meals, access to the swim spa and sauna, guided rituals, workshops, meditation, yoga, and meaningful connection with a circle of like-minded women in the peaceful setting of Mystic Avenue Retreat Centre.
