Testimonials

The Wildfire Outdoor Educations Centre was a perfect location for East to West Yoga's teacher training retreats. The meeting room is cozy and has a beautiful view. The food was great and the staff is very open to requests and special dietary requirements. The accomodations are modest, yet comfortable and clean. I highly recommend this location for adult functions and retreats.

Executive Director, East to West Yoga

It is with much anticipation that we look forward to using your facility again for "The Art of Becoming" Women's Retreat offered twice a year by Anita Bol and myself. The location offered a place to roam into the woods and to leave behind any stress anyone may have come with.

We were able to plan our menu with you and found you open to the needs of the group, something that was important to us as a group of health conscious women. We particularily enjoyed using the large fireplace room overlooking the property. It allowed us to do whole group activities and circles and for everyone to  participate in Sacred Circle Dance on Saturday

Thank you for making our time a memorable one and we look forward to growing this retreat in the years to come.
Warm Regards,
Pat Robinson
