An in-person daylong retreat
with Jeanne Corrigal

Saturday, February 28, 2026
10:00 am – 4:00 pm
Saskatoon Unitarians, Saskatoon

In the depth of winter, nature turns inward to rest and renew, offering us inspiration for our own practice. This retreat invites us to embrace the healing qualities of stillness and the wisdom of seclusion. Through guided meditations, dharma reflections, and practice, we will explore how turning inward can nurture resilience, clarity, and a deep sense of ease. Join us for a day of mindful rest and replenishment, supported by the quiet of winter and the warmth of community.

This day will include instruction, dharma reflections, deep practices of rest and nourishment, and community practice. Everyone is welcome.

Please bring a mat for lying down meditation.

This retreat is offered through mutual generosity. When you register, there will be an opportunity to pay a registration fee to help SIMC cover our administration costs. During the retreat, we will provide information for those who are able to offer financial support to Jeanne.
