Solar Power Health Inc.
Practice, reflect, reconnect with nature
Nature is part of the practice at Solar Power Health: its retreats bring together yoga, breathwork, sound healing, herbalism and Psychological Astrology, with space for reflection and mindful community. The approach is centered on self-awareness and reconnecting with the body, rather than a named religious tradition. Autumn Lake Retreat takes place at Goldeye Lake Mountain Resort near Nordegg, where the Canadian Rockies lend a more remote feel than the center’s Cochrane address suggests. Retreat meals are described as plant-based, whole-food fare inspired by ahimsa, the yogic principle of non-harming; vegetarian and vegan options are listed. Amenities include a yoga studio, kitchen, free Wi-Fi and parking, though lodging arrangements depend on the retreat. The cost model is by donation, with no fixed fee stated. This is a good fit for travelers drawn to embodied practices and nature, and who are comfortable confirming the schedule and arrival details for their chosen retreat.
