What kind of people would I meet at the retreat?

How will it help my personal-professional growth?

Is the location easy to get to? 

Yes! Our retreats take place within the peaceful, beautiful setting of MacLachlan College. Located in Oakville, Ontario, just 40 minutes west of Toronto, and a 2 minute walk from the GO station.

What period of time is typical for an individual to begin seeing the effects of mindfulness?

There’s growing research in this area. Many of our students experience a shift after 4 weeks of practicing 10 minutes a day. The most important thing to know, is even taking 3 conscious breaths a day can make a huge difference.
