Retreats are held on Read Island in the Discovery Islands of British Columbia. Brenda

GETTING to READ Island From Vancouver:
Take the ferry from Horseshoe Bay to Nanaimo on Vancouver Island. Drive north on the Island Highway 1 about two hours until you get to Campbell River. Stay to the right to the Quadra Island ferry terminal. The ferries generally run on the half hour, so you will have to be on the 2: 30 PM or the 3:30 PM ferry to make the connection. When you get off the ferry, follow the signs to Heriot Bay and turn left on Cramer Road and right on Antler Road to the Heriot Bay government wharf. A stop at the local store for last minute goodies is always fun! Your boat will pick you up at the government wharf in Heriot Bay and bring you back from Read Island at the end of the retreat. Be prepared for summer overloads and get to the ferry terminal at least 30 minutes before departure time.
THINGS TO BRING:
Warm clothes for cool evenings, rain jacket, flashlight, yoga mat and cushions for meditating, swimsuit, good walking shoes, towels, toothbrush, tooth paste, etc.
