Nestled on a cedar lined bluff overlooking the Sechelt Inlet is Pacific Peace Healing Retreat, a welcoming oasis with heart centred healing that leaves you feeling renewed and rejuvenated. Owner and Teacher of the Healing Arts, Cynthia Miller, CHt creates space for private 1:1 healing retreats, couples retreats or small groups.
The retreat is beautifully set in nature with the calm inlet, rolling hills of forest trees and the freshest air. Connecting with nature simply by walking through the gardens clears your mind and lets you settle down to feel solid and steady. It's a wonderful feeling.
Hypnosis and meditative techniques combined with hands on healing and an openness to your true self, you uncover what it is you need to see to take you to the next stage of your life.
Whether you are looking for a get away to explore the sunshine coast or if you're up for some healing, the option is there. And the Healing Room is pretty nice, lovely energy.
Blessings,
Cynthia Miller, CHt.
