Banff Wellness Retreat - Banff, Alberta

This was my first wellness retreat experience, and it did not disappoint. The entire weekend felt like a 2 week vacation - lots of relaxation, learning, meeting new people, and lots of self care. The retreat & hotel staff were very accommodating - they provided a safe environment and were very helpful. The food was delicious, and being in the mountains was the cherry on top of a perfect get away. I will definitely be back next year ♡♡♡

This is my second year attending the retreat (2024). Is something my friends and I plan and look forward to for months before it occurs. Last year it impacted my life so significantly, the presenters were people who I could relate to and take knowledge from. I went on to study reiki with Medium in the Middle and incorporated womb massage into my fertility journey. Things I didn’t know I needed prior to attending.
This year, whoa. The letting go has been unreal. Shifting and letting new things surface to surrender to the divine. All done in an amazing held and supported experience.
Organizationally, Amanda is very approachable and wants her guests to have the most recharging and rewarding experience possible. Always available for questions and open to feedback. You can tell the retreat is grown through live and intention.
If you’re on the fence, this is your sign for “YES!”

The experience has been such an incredible, kind and body opening journey. Surrounded by like minded individuals from all walks of life, has been a great way to connect. I truly believe anyone who is looking to expand their knowledge and find resources and tools to use in your daily life, to better yourself self, this is the place to be. Bonus is the location in where it is held. Surrounded by nature and woodland wonders, under a beautiful big, star filled sky.

I had a beautiful connection beyond the veil, and then this sowed up on my walk 🪽🤍#spiritswalkamongus
Thank you for having me here with you all. 🫶🏻

Absolutely incredible experience at the Banff Wellness Retreat! As a guy, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but I’m so glad I gave it a shot 3 years ago. The retreat isn’t typically attended by many men, but I felt completely welcome and included from the start. The setting in Banff is beyond stunning, and the team made sure every detail was thoughtful and tailored for all attendees. My wife and I have went 3 times together and can’t wait for next year. It’s really nice to have to the connection time in the mountains with no distractions.

The classes were transformative, offering tools and insights that I think everyone—especially men—could benefit from. The instructors were supportive and really encouraged us to open up and work on personal growth, something that isn’t always easy to do. It was refreshing to be in a space where vulnerability was embraced and there was zero pressure or judgment.

I left feeling genuinely inspired, more grounded, and with practical strategies for stress and self-care. If you’re a guy considering it, I highly recommend taking your wife for a weekend getaway. This retreat is the real deal, and I’ll definitely be coming back!

Thank you Amanda and the whole Banff Wellness Retreat Team for the amazing experience!!!

What a great weekend. So much information shared by such knowledgeable presenters.
A great variety of sessions to choose from.
The kindness and care from the staff for the retreat is outstanding attending to details for everyone. All requests or questions taken care of with smiles. My mind and body are grateful for this weekend. This is my second year attending. My first year with a special girl friend and this year again, a special friend….my husband. My husband equally enjoyed his weekend.
The accommodations are clean with pool and hot tub if you have enough energy at the end of your day!!! The lunches were delicious and dietary needs were accommodated without any hesitation.
Thanks for another wonderful retreat and the opportunity to learn so much.

This was my first time attending the Wellness Retreat. I knew that I would enjoy being in the mountains, along with the venue at the Banff Rocky Mountain Resort.
My stay here was amazing, all of the sessions on each of the 3 days were very enjoyable and informative. Each of the instructors were such great presenters and so knowledgeable in their fields. They were very personable and approachable, answering questions as they were asked.
The food here has also been amazing, the hospitality as well! The facilitators were so very helpful and available for questions or just conversation.
The whole event was so very well organized, thank you to everyone for making our weekend so wonderful!
I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my stay here, and would love to attend again next year!

A truly wonderful 3 days; so very grateful for having had this experience.

People:
Staff are quite wonderful, always checking in to make sure everything is going well. Presentations are varied, lots of interesting choices.
Presenters are well prepared and very approachable. I’ll be keeping in contact with a few of them.

The facility: it’s not posh, but I don’t look for posh. It’s affordable for the average person, clean and well-laid out with everything you need, lunches were very good indeed.

Rooms
Ours was well equipped, nice functional kitchen, fireplace and living room with a TV (which we never watched; our days were very full)
Bed, pillows, linen were lovely, we both had great sleeps.

This was my wife’s second time here; she brought me after a wonderful experience last year. We’re already putting together a list of things to bring for next year.

It’s encouraging to see men getting involved and taking part in their health journey.

I highly recommend this to anyone who cares about their health. It’s a great learning time. And it’s fun.

A friend and I decided to attend the October 2024 retreat as a way to find calm and healing. It delivered in every way! The sessions were interesting and informative, and provided the tools to dig in deeper when necessary. The venue and hotel room was lovely, and the service was great. The retreat was very well organized and ran smoothly. I strongly recommend to anyone interested in starting or continuing their wellness journey.
