The Season Wheel of Offerings

For those ready to step out of the confines of daily life and revitalize your soul.

Retreat into the wild with season-aligned, nature-immersive programs designed to restore your natural rhythm

The Heart of Manitoulin Island

Wellness in the Woods is located on Manitoulin Island, the largest freshwater island in the world.

Known as Mnidoo Mnis (Spirit Island), this landscape of ancient limestone and cedar forest is the foundation of our work. We believe the land is the co-therapist in your healing.

Whether we meet in person on-island or virtually from afar, our programs are rooted in the quiet, grounded energy of this sacred space and the land where you reside.

Living with the Seasons

At Wellness in the Woods, we believe that to sustain your aliveness, energy, and ease, we need to live with the wisdom of the seasons. We follow the Seasonal Wheel to map out our nature-immersive programs:

  • Winter Invites Rest

  • Spring Invites Intentional Transition

  • Summer Invites Play

  • Fall Invites Giving and Receiving

Just like the seasons change, our programs continue to shift and evolve with the rhythms of the land.

Coming Soon: Spring & Summer Offerings

As we transition into Spring, Wellness in the Woods is working behind the scenes to cultivate our next seasonal offerings for you.

Stay tuned for upcoming programs. The best way to be the first to hear about upcoming events is our, newsletter, Letters from the Wild
