Homecoming
Mindful Yoga and Meditation Retreat
with Jennifer Raye
Sept.10th (6pm) - Sept.13th (12pm) 2025
4 Day / 3-night Retreat with Jennifer Raye
Loughborough Lake, Ontario
A weeked of healing arts, somatic movement, yoga and meditation.
Drawing inspiration from the natural world, Chinese Medicine, Buddhist mindfulness, and illuminating poetry and readings, this weekend will offer a yoga and meditation practice that is both dynamic and restorative, with an emphasis on students’ individual needs.
Beyond the daily practices and delicious food, we’ll also have plenty of time to relax and rest.
This retreat is for everyone—all levels are welcome.











Our weekend location is a gorgeous lakeside retreat center called Bloom, just 20 minutes north of Kingston, Ontario. Located on Loughborough Lake, the 900-acre property features bright, spacious rooms; a meditation hall; a dedicated yoga space; 25 km of forest trails with several ponds and wetlands; and several room options all with ensuite bathrooms.
Jennifer Raye will be offering multiple yoga, meditation, and workshop sessions daily. Practices are suitable for all students and levels. Classes are restorative, dynamic, and therapeutic, emphasizing ease, strength, and mindful awareness.
Our healthy gourmet meals are rooted in simplicity and mindfulness, focusing on whole foods that nourish both body and soul. With a culinary approach that celebrates vegetarian cuisine, we’ll enjoy vibrant dishes that highlight seasonal produce, including organic vegetables, fruits, herbs, and edible flowers from the on-site gardens. Committed to sustainability and environmental stewardship, the center minimizes waste and sources ingredients from eco-conscious suppliers whenever possible.
Food will be plentiful, healthy, and beautiful. All dietary limitations can be accommodated. Please email us after registration if you have restrictions.
During our time together, we’ll enjoy many light-filled spaces with stunning finishes. The property includes a yoga studio with all the props provided, a meditation room, a lounge, and a dining hall. When we’re not in class, curl up with a book and take in the view, or do some self-practice in the quiet practice room with panoramic views of the property and lake.
Jennifer will also offer private sessions for acupuncture, herbal, and nutrition consultations.
Beyond the scheduled yoga and meditation classes, attendees are encouraged to relax in the beautiful common spaces, explore the gorgeous property and gardens, and enjoy the quiet practice room. There are also complimentary paddleboards and kayaks available.
