    Those who arrive before retreat activities begin are welcome to use the lodge as a co-working space. Once the retreat begins, we encourage you to capture moments (+ tag us @theta.mvmt). We will equally encourage you to leave your phone in your room so you can disconnect while you reconnect.

  • THETA Living and The Green Nest are safe spaces, inclusive of all. This also includes our language. Please note that absolutely no discrimination or harassment will be tolerated in the THETA community. Ever.

  • Each grouping of rooms also have their own “communal spaces”. Washrooms, kitchens, living spaces, + patios are to be respectfully shared. Please tidy up after yourself and be mindful of those around you.

    • Please keep shoes off indoors. House slippers are available at the front door.

    • Water from the tap is spring water and is safe to drink. You’ll also find filtered water in the snack station and in the main living room. Feel free to fill up your carafe from your rooms.

    • Only toilet paper down the toilets and liquids down the drains.

    • Remember to blow out your candles!

    • No glass in the hot tub - plastic cups available in the snack station

    • Dogs are to remain outside and in the blush cottage.

    • Please don’t touch the fireplaces but control them from the remotes.

    • Grab and go drinks are in the fridge closest to the yoga shala.

What to Explore

We encourage you to take this time as a way to reconnect in nature. The Green Nest Lodge is surrounded with beautiful wildlife + rich in Indigenous history. We ask you to respect and honour the land by asking permission before receiving its plentiful gifts (when foraging, hiking, etc.)

So, what is there to do outside?

Forest walks + bathing

Cold plunges in the lake

SUP Boarding + canoeing

Hanging on the dock or by the fire

How about inside?

Hang in one of the many living rooms

Cuddle up with a book

Play a game with a new friend

Get to know yourself or somebody else on a deeper level

Hit up the swimming spa (no glass in here)
