Inner Peace:
The Path to True Freedom
You’re not here to just function. You’re here to shine.
You know going through the motions isn’t enough anymore. You are ready to fully embody your true essence.
The Inner Peace Retreat will take you beyond quick fixes and into a new way of being.
May 30 – June 2, 2025
Bethlehem Retreat Centre, Nanaimo, British Columbia
+ Includes one month online support.
You are capable, respected, and successful. You’ve built a life that people admire and yet you’ve always known there’s more.
Not in a way that can be explained, but in a way that can be felt.
Have you noticed…
The way your body tenses when you try to fit into a life that no longer fits?
The way your mind pushes back against the idea that “this is just the way it is”?
The way your soul aches for something beyond achievement, beyond effort, something spirit-driven
Move beyond the mind into who you were always meant to be.
Imagine what it would feel like to live, move, and breathe from a place of deep integrity.
To be so fully present that your very existence becomes an act of creation.
The four day Inner Peace retreat takes place on the serene grounds of Bethlehem Retreat Centre, located on the shores of beautiful Westwood Lake. Spend 4 days living, breathing and moving in community with like-minded learners.
And the experience doesn’t end here. Deeply integrate what you’ve learned with one month of online integration support.

A new way of moving through life
You’ve likely noticed something isn’t aligned. Maybe it was a quiet moment of realization, or a jarring conversation that left you questioning.
Perhaps it was a breaking point that shattered what you thought was solid, a recognition that the way you’ve been moving through life—relying on effort, pushing for results, carrying the weight of responsibility—has taken you as far as it can.
You know it’s time for something different.
The Inner Peace Program won’t teach peace as a concept. It guides you into peace as a lived experience.
The mind will tell you that peace is something you figure out.
That if you think the right thoughts, do the right practices, discipline yourself enough, you’ll arrive.
But the mind is only part of the equation.
Because real peace—the kind that holds steady through uncertainty, the kind that doesn’t waver under pressure—isn’t about knowing.
It’s about becoming.

When you shift from working on yourself to becoming yourself, everything changes.
Through a systematic, deeply experiential approach, we lead you to rewire the systems that keep you bound to effort and resistance and shift into a state of profound presence.
This is about:
Aligning with the deeper intelligence of life rather than trying to control it.
Learning to lead, create, and serve from presence rather than performance.
Discovering what it means to truly let go, not as an escape, but as a mastery of self.
When this shift happens, life becomes more fulfilling.
Not because it’s easier. But because you become different.

What this journey looks like
Transformation isn’t something you chase. It’s something you allow.
This isn’t about being passive, it’s about engaging with truth.
The Inner Peace Program walks you through this process step by step:
Step 1: Dismantling the Old Framework
Held in the safety and guidance of our expert team, you’ll recognize the patterns beneath your patterns: the ones you couldn’t see before, but have shaped how you show up in the world.
This isn’t about “fixing” anything. It’s about seeing clearly so that what no longer serves you can naturally fall away.
Through guided inquiry and embodiment practices, you’ll uncover the subtle, unconscious ways your nervous system resonates with fear, keeping you in cycles of effort, striving, and resistance, even when you think you’re at peace.
Step 2: Cultivating Internal Stillness
Stillness isn’t the absence of movement. It’s the absence of struggle.
You’ll learn how to anchor yourself in presence—not as a momentary state, but as your natural way of being.
From this place, you stop reacting to life and start responding from wisdom.
This shift creates a new baseline: a nervous system that isn’t operating from the same old patterns, a mind that isn’t caught in endless loops, a body that feels at home in itself.
So rather than going through the motions, you’ll leave with a deeply grounded sense of peace.
Step 3: Embodying Your Deepest Truth
The journey isn’t about “maintaining” peace, it’s about becoming peace.
You’ll begin to integrate the deep intelligence of presence into how you lead, create, connect, and move through the world.
And the transformation doesn’t stop there. With a full month of guided integration support, you’ll have the structure and accountability to solidify these shifts, ensuring they become part of who you are, not just something you experienced.
As you embody this deeper presence, your relationships evolve with more authenticity and ease, your work transforms as you step into greater alignment, and your very presence becomes an invitation for others to rise.
This is where real freedom begins.

What People Say…
This program was a life changer for me. My Mum is in a care facility and there are all sorts of problems getting the help she needs. Had I not gone through your program I would have lost my shit, I literally would have been so angry I would have been throwing things. Now I am handling it really well.
My son was struggling and went to therapy and I was asked to attend. He told the counsellor “I don’t recognize him, he is a totally different person from what I grew up with.”
I realized anger blocks things, like the good, loving energy. My heart has opened up so much – I volunteer, and when I see people on the street I help them if I can – that was never there before. I didn’t even think about this kind of stuff before.
I also see my Dad really differently. I used to just see the anger and control and now I see a broken man and have compassion for him.
Even after ten years the results are still so clear to me. I tell people this program changed my life.
This program was a life changer for me.
“What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.”
