An Unforgettable Connection Journey in St. John's, Newfoundland

You have been listening for some time and now, you are ready to go deeper.

You may have abandoned your connection to the feminine.

You may have forgotten who you are amidst massive life shifts.

You may have been racing through a world with increasing anxiety and overwhelm.

Life-changing.

Personalized.

Uniquely curated.

Learn from the ancient ones who have walked this land and sailed these seas for millennia, all leading up to this moment, all in preparation for you to arrive this year.

Deepen your soul quest and re-meet who you really are.

Shift your frequency. Align your resonance.

Live from a place of non-doing, speak from a place of truth.

Join us for a retreat to the island of K'taqamkuk, Mi’gma’gi territory, and place of Beothuk ancestry. The island's name is also called Talamh an Éisc which means "Land of the Fish" in Irish.

Newfoundland.

This island goes by many names and one thing is abundantly certain -- the Earthrock, the sea, and the hearts of her people are what makes it such a uniquely warm place despite being nestled out in the North Atlantic ocean.

Flatrock.

The retreat will take place about 20 minutes outside of St. John's in the beautifully quaint sea-side town of Flatrock, with ample time and space for exploration of nearby towns (Portugal Cove and Bay Bulls) and the city of St. John's.

Flatrock is a scenic peaceful town known for it's geologically significant cliffs and rock formations, with the famous East Coast Hiking Trail just a few minutes walk from our accommodations.

This retreat is designed for Newcomers and Newfoundanders alike, with the perfect mix of wellness, mindfulness, and worthiness, all while highlighting the land's rich cultural connections to both Celtic and Mi'kmaw roots.

This is a nature-based spirituality retreat that is gender & queer-inclusive. We have an absolute zero tolerance policy for discrimination. Please ensure your values align before booking.

What's the value of the retreat?

The retreat value is well worth over $5000 per person. If you've never enjoyed the hospitality of a Newfoundlander, you are in for a treat and it is worth every penny. We are so excited to host you!

The actual cost is not yet solidified, as we are awaiting to hear back on a few items -- it will likely be $3900-$4200 per person.

A note on Wealth Redistribution:

- 5% of proceeds that Abundance World retreats goes towards a plan for building a queer nature sanctuary.

- 95% goes toward making the retreat amazing and personalized. A few of those items are: the cost of paying each facilitator a fair and equitable wage for their unique offerings, sea-side accommodation for 5 nights, catering 2 meals a day plus snacks, shuttle service to and from the airport, programming and excursions, space for reflection and introspection, and providing a loving space of wellness where you can be held for 5 days.

- Where possible, the facilitators we collaborate with are part of the 2SLGTQ community.

2025 Retreat Testimonials

"At the retreat, each facilitator allowed me to approach what I was grappling with from a different perspective; in a more concentrated way I was able to focus on these things. I felt the environment was a very safe space." -- Alex

"I came to the retreat feeling harried. I was overwhelmed, sick, busy and tired. After the retreat, I left feeling wonderfully full, like I was needing to digest the changes that opened up over the past few days. The type of after feel where you’re relaxed. Like a “mmm”. " -- Marnie

"This retreat was one of the best things I’ve done in a very long time - so much better than I expected. It was wonderful in a simple way, yet so powerful. I feel more confident in my ability to trust my inner knowing " -- Al

"I really admire the seasonal rhythms that Abundance World's retreats have taught me - getting back in touch with my ancestors (and the greatest ancestor, Mother Earth), has helped me balance my anxiety and depression" -- Heather
