Colleen from @dotsoflovecanada is hosting Canada's second annual in-person mandala retreat taking place in October of 2026. Co-founder Lauren Saunders will be joining us in a supportive role this year as a featured masterclass facilitator, sharing her expertise through two exclusive sessions. Her presence brings a beautiful layer of connection, mentorship, and creative energy to the weekend.

"More Than Mandalas" will be a community and growth-focused 3-day in-person retreat. While we'll spend the majority of our time painting together, we also want participants to come away feeling more present to possibility in themselves, their lives, and their painting practices, accessing new levels of potential in any area of life, art and even business. This immersive weekend weaves together painting workshops, guided breath work, a live henna experience, and a closing mandala altar experience using natural and floral elements.

The retreat is open to and welcoming of participants anywhere in the world, but please note that you are responsible for your travels plans and costs required to get to Vancouver Island.

To keep the retreat intimate and ensure quality time with each guest, there are 22 available spots. Registration opens on Saturday, March 14th at 10AM CST for 24 hours to those on the WAITLIST ONLY, with remaining spots being made available to the public on Sunday, March 15th.
