Join us for a transformative day of deep connection, healing, and aliveness
Saturday, September 19, 2026 | 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
St. Brigid’s Villa, Ignatius Jesuit Centre, Guelph, Ontario
Imagine a day where you step away from the noise of life and rediscover the peace, joy, and aliveness already within you.
Nestled in the serene forest of St. Brigid’s Villa, just outside Guelph, Ontario, this one-day Immersion Retreat invites you to experience a profound shift in how you live and feel. Guided by Dr Sara Joy O’Neill, you’ll dive into the transformative wisdom of the Three Principles and melt into the restorative power of relaxing, healing bodywork. This is your chance to awaken to a life filled with ease, clarity, and deep fulfilment.
What You’ll Experience
In this sacred, nurturing space, we’ll journey together to:
Rest in Deep Peace: Discover the quiet stillness at the core of who you are through the gentle wisdom of the Three Principles.
Embrace Effortless Flow: Learn to move through life with grace and ease, guided by your innate wisdom.
Rejuvenate Body and Soul: Surrender to healing bodywork that soothes your nervous system and restores your vitality.
Ignite Your Aliveness: Uncover the joy and love within you, opening the door to fresh insights and a life you truly adore.
Why This Day Matters
The Immersion Retreat is a rare opportunity to pause, reconnect, and awaken to the beauty of your own existence. As Joseph Campbell said, “What we’re all seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences resonate within our innermost being.” This day is designed to help you feel that rapture of being alive, with effects that ripple through your life long after the retreat ends.
Uncover the simplicity of living in alignment with your true nature. Paired with nurturing bodywork, you’ll release tension and open to a renewed sense of possibility. This is for anyone ready to come alive to life.
