About The Ottawa Urban Retreat

Ottawa Urban Retreat welcomes you to a sanctuary of quiet beauty. The tranquil scenery here will make you feel better the minute you arrive. Ottawa Urban Retreat is a tiny island of inner peace, harmony, love and joy in the big and bustling Ottawa city. It is a place where you can come during the day or weekend and find a quiet environment where you can be with yourself (to just BE), to meditate, to heal, to get a comforting massage, to relax or if you just need to talk to someone; we are here for you. We are a team of Registered Massage Therapists, Chiropractors, Acupuncture Practitioners and Naturopaths, Yoga teachers, Meditation Masters, Reiki Masters and Qigong Masters whose combination of talents are fitted to your needs.

We have created a special and effective program:

• Two weekly hours of Stress Relief (click ®Wednesday Stress Relieving Evening) This program is based on the latest science research and knowledge of stress. It applies ancient techniques which have justified themselves in practice for millennia. Stress can take a heavy toll on your physical and emotional health. A couple of hours in the calm and relaxed environment of the Ottawa Urban Retreat  will help you relax and keep you in Zen for the rest of the week.

• We strongly believe that knowledge is the best gift. I hope you remember the proverb: Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. And so we have developed the School of harmony (click ® School of Self-Power) at our retreat. Wellness refers to a state of balance between mind, body and spirit, resulting from conscious choices that lead to better health and greater satisfaction. If you can manage your mind then you are in real control of your life. "We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves."  Buddha, The Dharmapada philosopher & religious leader (563 BC - 483 BC
• We have created Personal Retreat sessions. A Personal Retreat session provides an opportunity for solitude and inner attention so that one can connect with one’s inner essence. In this session we include a combination of nurturing session to pamper and rejuvenate the body, emotional clearing, feminine celebrating and spiritual awakening. In the beginning we will relax you and bringing you back into balance. Then, together, we will identify stressors and finally, we will teach you special stress management techniques that you can use in your everyday.
• We have designed a program that can help you understand who you are, your goals and your purpose. This session is supported and balanced with outdoor activities in nature, free time to relax, and social mingling with other participants.
• We are a very creative group.We want you to develop your creativity and find your talent.  (click ® School of Self-Power) We have developed a course that will help you in achieving this.
  
•  We have an art group and special art workshop (click  Workshop, Expressive Art ). You will be amazed at how much you enjoy expressing yourself with colors and textures. Actually your heart and your soul will speak at these workshops. This session is supported and balanced with, free time to relax, and social mingling with other participants. “Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life”. Picasso
  
• We do not like sickness and we strongly believe in healthy living. You have a choice between group healing (click ® Healing Circle) , individual holistic healing treatments (click ® Healing Session) and studying different healing techniques from the world's major spiritual traditions: from pure and relaxing Reiki (click® Reiki Classes)  and highly-flavored and profound Wicca and Shamanism to powerful and strongest Qigong (see dates for these courses).

• We do not like fear. We shaped the program (click® School of Self-Power) to help you overcome your fears and to choose love over fear. You have to let go of old patterns, let go of your fears, and open your heart.

Ottawa Urban Retreat was created with YOU in mind. We are very flexible schedule- and organization- wise. We listen, support, and love our clients who became our dearest friends. We guide you to find the right balance between group sessions, personal retreats and other activities. This is a retreat that will challenge you to reflect upon the most profound questions, if you let it: Who are you and why are you here? It will also provide you with powerful tools and meditation techniques to take home, because the process of spiritual awakening is continuous. You are invited to use your time off to simply BE. Although you can continue to work on projects independently during your free time, like being in the moment of solitude or to quietly integrate or to simply relax.
We have created a special healing and meditation room with a lot of holistic and loving energy. So if you need a few hours a day to restore yourself, come and enjoy the Ottawa Urban Healing Retreat.

There is a place of no conflict,

a place where all of humanity is in accord,

where we speak with One Voice,
sing together one song.
If, just for one moment,
you will let go of all that is imaginary,
if you " can be still,
if you dare to feel what you feel and know who you are,

you can hear that Voice, right now."

Lynne Gordon-Mündel
