Emergent Kundalini

Solace

A Solstice Retreat

June 19 – 21, 2026 · Xenia · Nexwlélexwm · Bowen Island

As the sun reaches its peak, we gather on the land to the fullness of light, and bow to the same radiance rising within us. This is a threshold moment, where one season completes its arc and begins, we decide what we take with us through this opening.

SOLACE is a weekend shaped with care: Kundalini practice, ritual, conscious breath, nourishing food, & space for unhurried, meaningful connection.

Held at the initiation of summer, it offers a grounded place to witness transformation as it naturally unfolds — in the body, in relationship, and in our subtle rhythms of awareness for the months to come.

Solstice is a return to the power within.

What we hold

Practice

Emergent Kundalini sadhana — Kyra, mantra, meditation, and breath. Morning practice each day to anchor the body and open the field.

Ritual

Presencing the Earth and our group through collective rituals that invite release and remembrance.

Breath

Weaving us all together. Pranayama practices and gentle, guided conscious connected breathwork alongside consent-based bodywork — held for deeper somatic integration.

Connection

Time with those who practice honestly. Who wish to meet this moment of transformation in community.

Nourishment

Seasonal meals created with care — bolstering the energy of the sun while digesting with ease, so you can fully receive the depth of the programme.

Land

Hosted at Xenia on Nexwlélexwm (Bowen Island) — a place renowned for conscious work, land stewardship, and home to OPA, a 1,000+ year old Douglas Fir.
