Find Space, Breathe & Reconnect: a 1/2 day Silent Retreat
With Victoria Pawlowski M.Ed., R.C.C.
December 5, 2026
Taking time for retreat offers us the opportunity to step out of our daily routines to reconnect with and care for our innermost selves.
This half day retreat will be held on the beautiful grounds of Bethlehem Centre on Westwood Lake in Nanaimo, B.C. Together we will meet and settle into our circle and ourselves.
You will be guided through self-compassion meditations and practices that can help you reconnect with your breath, your body and your innate self-compassion.
No experience necessary.
All adults are welcome.
Please bring a journal/notebook for reflection, a yoga mat and a light throw.
