SPRING RISING

April 19-21, 2024


Retreat Accommodations

Crieff Hills is a stunning retreat property just minutes off the 401 at Guelph, Ontario, with over 250 acres of rolling forest and farmland to immerse yourself in. It is a perfect location for this soul-full weekend of rest and renewal.

This year you can choose your own single room, or share as double occupancy. Every room is “hotel-style” with private ensuite bathrooms. You’ll enjoy access to a lounge area that includes a wood-burning fireplace (perfect for a chilly April morning!), and a small kitchenette that will be stocked with all the good stuff all weekend long!

There are only a few spots left!

GREAT NEWS! Commuter spots are available for people who live locally, or want to stay in a local hotel or AirB&B.

The world’s favorite season is the spring. All things seem possible.

The retreat will be held on the traditional territory inhabited by the Chonnonton people before Europeans settled here. We acknowledge other First Nations neighbours including the Haudenosaunee, the Anishnaabe and The Métis nation. SoulPlay.ca seeks a new relationship with the Original Peoples of this land, and will weave honour and respect into the weekend retreat.
