Location 01

City sanctuary

Aspenwood

Aspenwood is our city sanctuary in the north of Toronto, and where most journey sessions take place. It is a private house on a wooded ravine lot, with flagstone paths, a koi pond and an infinity pool, rather than a clinical suite.

The house sits inside the city and yet reads nothing like it. Mature trees close it in on every side, and the garden runs down into ravine woodland. You arrive through a gate and along a path under the trees, which is a deliberately slow way to come in.

Inside, the house has been arranged to hold both halves of this work. Communal rooms for group preparation and shared conversation sit alongside private rooms for rest and reflection, so you can take part or step away as the day asks. Nothing about the space obliges you to be sociable, and nothing obliges you to be alone.

Address: 47 Aspenwood Drive, Toronto, Ontario M2H 2E8
Area: North York, Toronto
Used for: Most journey sessions
Also here: Private overnight accommodation for guests travelling in

Indoors

The Community Room: A room full of natural light, for conversation, journalling, artwork, or simply waiting to see what happens next.
The Medicine Rooms: Where group preparation, journeys, integration and aftercare take place.
Private Journey Rooms: For those who would rather do every stage of this in private, from preparation through to reflection.
The Dojo: A large, sunlit room for tai chi, yoga, sound healing, meditation and drumming.
Therapy Rooms: Quiet rooms for one to one work, and for the wellness services we offer on request.

Outdoors

The Courtyard: Flagstone and gravel around an apple tree that grows four different kinds of apple, one for each direction.
The Community Deck: Surrounded by trees and birdsong. It has held drumming circles, sound healing, outdoor tai chi and a great deal of conversation.
The Private Deck: An outdoor room of your own, for preparing or for integrating afterwards.
Poolside: The infinity pool, the water element of the property, and a cold plunge.
The ravine and the trails: Nature walks as a forest bath or a moving meditation, and a seasonal mushroom hunting walkabout.

Location 02

Country sanctuary

Kimberley

Kimberley is our country sanctuary: a low cedar cabin in the hamlet of Kimberley, in the untouched Beaver Valley of the Grey County Highlands. The Bruce Trail runs past the door.

Where Aspenwood is architectural and enclosed, Kimberley is open. Meadow, willows and a creek, with the wooded escarpment beyond, and no hard landscaping anywhere in sight. The ambiance is uncontained, and that is the point of it.

Almost everything here happens in the open air, including the journey itself, with nature as the setting rather than a view from a window. The trail is not an amenity bolted on beside the treatment. Walking it is part of what people come here to do.

Area: Beaver Valley, Grey County Highlands, Ontario
At the door: The Bruce Trail
Suited to: Patients who want distance from the city, and their treatment held outdoors
Dates: Ask us which dates are open.

All of our locations are in Ontario. We are not yet available outside Ontario, but we are actively working on ways to bring this to people wherever they are, whether that means a visit to see us, or a referral to a trusted clinic closer to home. Ask us for more.
