Nurture and refresh your body, mind and spirit with our lakeside yoga retreat set amidst pine forests, wild flowers, and lush gardens. Daily yoga is the focus, with additional instruction in pilates, canoeing, and cooking with wild edibles. A highlight includes a day hike in the old growth forest for a long, silent meditation. Swimming and saunas make this one of the most unique and enjoyable yoga retreats in Ontario.

LOOKING & COOKING WITH WILD EDIBLES
May through September. Arrival Sundays or Wednesdays. Classes Monday and Thursday.
From $375 pp for 2 night/6 meal package, or $85 pp drop-in class.
Get your hands dirty in the Temagami forest in this workshop foraging for wild edibles and medicinals. Discover a variety of indigenous plants that each tell a story about Temagami -all delicious, natural and healthy for you to eat. Then follow chef Caryn Colman into her kitchen and learn how to turn them into a dish of real pleasure. Wild mushrooms, stinging nettle, day lilies, dandelion, milkweed, rose petals and cedar are all fair game when it comes to breads, appetizers and desserts.

Wind on the Water
When you see parallel streaks of foam on the water, it's windy -but how windy? The foam has come from lots of breaking waves stirring up organic matter in the water, creating a sudsing effect. In open water, this kicks in around 30 kilometres/hour or 15-20 knots. So next time you see foam, heads up!
