enliven
Autumn Retreat at Johnson Landing in British Columbia
FALL 2024
Come and experience a weekend dedicated to the joy and celebration of life itself! To enliven is to bring life to. To take what has been otherwise dulled and neglected, and polish it clean—revealling the luminous beauty and uniqueness that has always been present.
It’s easy to focus on all the ways we need to change, alter, or get rid of something within our circumstances. We develop an “always healing, never healed” type mentality—one that keeps us tethered to grasping for what lies outside of ourselves.
Through the support of nature, community, and deep alchemical practice—this is a weekend for you to seize the opportunities that lie before you! To put more life into life, to become present, and to recognize the potent truth behind “it’s not what you do, but how you do it.”

“Enliven's intention is to reconnect with our potential and embrace the opportunities of each moment. We'll explore techniques to enhance attention and ground ourselves in existing possibilities. Remember, your attention shapes your experience. By shifting focus, you transform your world. Join us to recalibrate and align with your visions”
The Enliven Retreat offers nature, daily practice, and nourishing cuisine for reflection on your life's journey. Join Andy, Kelly, and guests for a weekend of sacred ceremony and community connection. Explore where you're called to let go and step into a new beginning with clarity and purpose. If you resonate with any of the following, this weekend is for you:
A sense that you are out of alignment and that certain patterns and behaviours are no longer serving
A desire to reconnect to a like-minded community
Feeling a sense of “holding on” to past circumstances, or rumination that’s keeping you from experiencing the opportunities presented to you
A loss of inspiration or motivation to pursue your path
A yearning to revisit your values and a longing to self reflect
Disconnection and a wish to plug into nature and its’ simplicity
A knowing that the way you’re currently living is not conducive to the vision you hold for yourself
Together through the power of ritual, yogic and meditative techniques, and the healing properties of nature, we will explore a conscious redirection of our energy. As the season shifts into the Autumn Equinox, we are granted the chance to go inward, release the past and move into the darkness of winter grounded in momentum.
Nestled in the heart of the Kootenays, Johnson’s Landing provides an environment of harmony and high vibration to facilitate a complete renewal of body, mind and spirit.
The land in itself is a wonderful source of nourishment on all levels. We will support anybody who comes to Johnson’s Landing with a genuine desire for healing and self improvement with love, compassion and non judgment.
Prepare to rest and rejuvenate in one of their spacious and relaxing cabins, located right in the heart of the forest — each one containing their own unique character and overall vibe to support in your integration. Each site is tucked away into its own peaceful pocket so you can experience the ultimate rest.
For those looking for a more rustic approach to their retreat, we are offering camping as an option for a reduced rate (tent + camping gear not provided).
As we take cues from nature, Autumn is a time to move onward and let go of the past so we can settle into the introspective nature of Winter. It evokes the practitioner to reflect on finding the balance between the light of Summer and the coming darkness of Winter.
