Women’s Wellness Retreats 2019

Escape the Ordinary for a Journey of Self-Discovery

Located only 30-minutes away from downtown Vancouver, Bowen Island is a natural haven nestled in the breathtaking scenery of Howe Sound. Covered with lush forests, lakes, rocky outcrops and a rich community of local artists, the island offers the perfect location to escape the ordinary for a journey of self-discovery.

This upcoming fall 2019, Bowen Island Lodge will host “The Art of Slow Living”, a wellness retreat exclusively for women to help unwind from daily stress and reconnect with oneself in a serene environment of empowerment and personal growth.
