In 2024, Candice said “I have been dreaming of this retreat at Xenia for almost two years now, since moving to Bowen Island. I want to bring together the community of doulas that has been building over the last few years to connect deeper in person. There are so many brilliant, fascinating women doing this work, and we can all be supporting each other to better support the families we work with. It started as this zygote of an idea to give doulas some of the skills they have been asking for and has grown into this immersive, healing, cup-filling retreat with a dream team of speakers!” Candice Johnson For more details on the event see Candice’s website at https://www.cherishchildbirth.com/#postpartum
Xenia is a 38-acre Sanctuary in the heart of Bowen Island, one hour by ferry from downtown Vancouver and 90 minutes from our international airport. It is also surrounded by hundreds of acres of protected government forests and lakes. It is a place of safety and beauty. It is a place to heal, to rest, to play and to discover one’s true nature and inherent gifts.”
