Wholistic International Retreats at TheShareable Wave
Make room for deeper self-understanding
The work here is closer to guided therapeutic retreat than to a conventional schedule of meditation classes. Wholistic International Retreats at TheShareable Wave centers on personal and couples retreats, with a trauma-informed approach and a focus on exploring patterns shaped by past experience. Its described toolkit brings Naturotherapy together with guided EMDR, CBT and somatic-based practices. The aim is self-understanding and emotional re-patterning, approached step by step rather than through a single prescribed spiritual tradition. Retreat formats include individual and couples-focused experiences, so the work can be shaped around different needs. This is a setting for people curious about intensive inner work, not a retreat with a published timetable of group sittings or a named lineage. Ask the host about the format, length and support available before choosing a retreat.

Setting
The retreats are associated with Calgary, a substantial city set against Alberta’s broad prairie skies and the distant Rocky Mountain region. The precise retreat venue and its surroundings can vary, so confirm the meeting location and setting with the host before you travel.
The practice
The center’s approach combines Naturotherapy with guided methods described as including EMDR, CBT and somatic-based practices. Rather than following a named meditation tradition, the work is oriented toward personal exploration and emotional patterns, with retreat formats for individuals and couples. Ask the host what a session involves and how the approach can be adapted to your needs.
A typical day
Daily structure varies by retreat, and the work may be organized around individual or couples’ sessions rather than a standard meditation timetable. Confirm the sequence of sessions, breaks and any group activities with the center before booking.
Accommodation
Ask the host whether accommodation is included or arranged separately, and what options suit your retreat dates.
What to bring
Bring comfortable layers and a notebook if you like to reflect in writing. Calgary’s average annual temperature is 4.9°C, with colder conditions common in winter and more rain in May through July, so pack for the season and check the forecast.
