You have permission to put. it. down.
Before 2027, you are invited to step away from the demands of everyday life and enjoy a day of intentional rest, reflection and nourishment.
No worrying about everyone else's needs. No rushing from one thing to the next. Just a day to exhale, reconnect with yourself and allow yourself to be taken care of.
Set on the tranquil grounds of a historic cocoa estate, this intimate wellness retreat is designed to help you release the weight of the year, reconnect with what matters, and restore your sense of well-being.
This isn't another busy day on your calendar. It's a thoughtfully curated experience that brings together movement, therapeutic relaxation, culturally grounded wellness, nature and unhurried time for yourself—all in one beautiful setting.
The Ortinola Cocoa Estate
Before the final rush of the year takes over, take a breath. The Cultural Nourish day retreat is your invitation to step out of the noise and into a tranquil, historic estate surrounded by lush gardens, rolling hills and cool breezes.
Date: December 27th, 2026
Time: 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
Location: Ortinola Estate, St. Joseph
Theme: Release, Reconnect, Restore
Designed for intentional rest and relaxation, this full-day experience gives you the space to reflect, reconnect and nourish your mind and body. Step into the new year feeling renewed.
Limited to 15 guests.
Your day of rest and nourishment includes:
Yoga & sound bath
Begin your morning by slowing down, releasing tension and creating space to simply be. Let the busyness of Christmas settle as you ease into a day that is just for you.
A guided wellness session with The Cultural Dietitian
Reflect on your health and well-being, clarify your goals for 2027, and explore practical, sustainable strategies to support the changes you want to make—without the pressure of another all-or-nothing resolution.
A cocoa estate tour
Reconnect with nature, explore the grounds of this historic estate, and enjoy a taste of locally made chocolate as you connect with the beauty and traditions around you.
Massage therapy
Give your body some much-needed attention with a therapeutic massage delivered by a qualified physiotherapist. Consider this your invitation to relax, release tension and let those knots be taken care of.
Nourishing meals & refreshments
Enjoy lunch, an afternoon tea plate, cocoa tea and an all-day beverage bar to keep you refreshed and nourished throughout the experience.
Time to simply unwind
Wander through the lush gardens, journal, reflect or sit quietly and enjoy the moment. The day is intentionally spacious, giving you the freedom to slow down rather than rush through yet another full agenda.
