Me Time: A Day of Silence
Day Retreat at The Swallows Nest
This special offering of Me Time: A Day of Silence is a fundraising retreat in support of Lil' Steps Wellness, with all proceeds going directly toward their meaningful work. We’re honoured to host this day in collaboration with The Swallows Nest; a space known for its peaceful, nurturing atmosphere and deep connection to nature.
Join us Sunday May 31st for a retreat experience that invites you to fully step away from the noise of everyday life and settle into stillness. Held within this calming environment, you’ll be supported through guided meditations, a restorative sound bath with the lovely Morissa Granove and quiet nature walks, all designed to help you reconnect with yourself in a gentle, meaningful way.
What to Expect
A silent retreat is an opportunity to step away from conversation, distraction, and external input, and gently turn your attention inward. From the moment you arrive, you’ll be invited into silence, allowing your mind to settle and your awareness to deepen. Throughout the day, you will be softly guided through a series of meditations, a restorative sound bath and quiet nature walks, all experienced in shared silence. This intentional quiet creates space for clarity, grounding, and a deeper connection to yourself. At 3:00 PM, we will gently break the silence and come together in a supportive sharing circle, offering time for reflection, integration, and connection before closing the day.
About Lil' Steps
"Lil’ Steps Wellness Foundation was founded in January of 2022 by Lucy Sloan, Owner of Lil’ Steps Wellness Farm, in St. Malo, Manitoba.
The Foundation was created to address two primary areas:
1) To assist families who are unable to receive mental health services due to financial restraints to receive continuous support they need.
2) To assist in rescuing animals in need of love and shelter, provide a positive space for them to grow, as they, too, become part of the care of all our animal co-workers at Lil’ Steps Wellness Farm."
