AUTUMN EVENTS & RETREATS
THE BEAUTY OF LETTING GO, RELEASE, RECONNECTION
Autumn: This is a period of reflection and letting go. Nature shows us how beautiful it is to let go as the leaves turn the beautiful vibrant colors of orange, red, and yellow. Autumn encourages us to take time to reflect on our lives, giving us permission to let go of anything that no longer serves us. This beautiful season teaches us the importance of release and letting go, giving us a reminder that transformation and change require us to shed the layers of our old self. It’s a time of slowing down and going within, of harvesting and enjoying the fruits of our labor.

THE BEAUTY OF LETTING GO, RELEASE, RECONNECTION ☀️
“If you crave the connection to something meaningful, something real, you can find it here.”
From the rugged canyons of the Fraser River to the rejuvenating springs of the Marble Mountains, Echo Valley Ranch and Spa offers a world of wonder. We will be nestled at the intersection of four unique landscapes, on the traditional territory of the Secwepemc First Nation. Echo Valley is a haven for those seeking adventure, relaxation, and a profound connection to nature. Autumn is a season of rest. Nature shows us in autumn how beautiful it is to let go.
Autumn is the season of embracing change. It is a wind-down season that makes me seek comfort – a transformation into cozy sweaters, woolly socks, and plaid shirt days. There is a distinct emotional shift away from the bright bustle of summer to mellow cozy evenings filled with deep soul connections, reflection, contemplation, and replenishing nourishing food for the body. We benefit from pausing to experience a similar energetic transformation that nature offers us.

SPIRIT OF PLACE
“The Indigenous ancestors recognized that this Echo Valley, at the convergence of four distinct geographic locations, was special, and were drawn here by the life-giving springs. They were intimately connected to Mother Earth, able to feel the energy within the land, a sense many of us city dwellers have lost. But here in Echo Valley that connection is still strong and felt by all who visit this spiritual retreat in BC – an overall sense of wellness, peace, and bliss – awakening wonder.”
