A HUGE welcome to all the retreaters! We are exhilarated that you will be joining us in May. We have a powerhouse of Facilitators lined up to make your retreat something to remember.

Review the weekend itinerary first and note the times and events with the activities and workshops that you want to go to, and then make your weekend plan. Keep in mind that there are limited spaces for each, and some are offered twice too, giving you more choices. Remember, that your weekend can be as busy or not as you want.

Click on the link for each activity or workshop, to read more about it. From there you can book it. A suggestion would be to pick what you need, and not try to do everything with your friend or group. Additional paid options are noted on this page. Be sure to schedule yourself accordingly.

TIME	BANQUET HALL
8:30-9:00 PM	STAND-UP COMEDIAN – Sincerely irreverent, Lesley Lynn has been a fixture in the Sudbury comedy scene for the past eight years. She is a regular at open mics and has performed at events such as International Workers Day, women’s retreats, staff parties, and fundraisers. In 2022 she started a comedy production company ‘Laugh Local North’ and has been bringing live entertainment to several Northern Ontario towns. A life-long feminist, she is proud to be the longest standing female comedian in the Sudbury scene. She holds her own in the male-dominated art of crafting jokes with a wry sense of humour and a killer sense of fashion. Her observational writing has been described as clever and her delivery as adorably edgy, surprising, and sly.

Tea & Tequila is an upbeat, acoustic cover band who like to have FUN!  We play a big variety of tunes from Shania Twain, Ricky Martin, Elvis to Elton John!  Tea & Tequila is the perfect addition to any party!
