🌞 Lila: The Divine Play

A One-Day Summer Retreat of Joyful Truth + Intentional Energy
August 16th · 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM · Priddis, Alberta

Let’s play 🤸‍♂️ on purpose.

Lila: The Divine Play is a soul-brightening, joy-filled summer retreat designed to spark laughter, movement, and meaningful connection. Held in the wild beauty of Priddis, Alberta, this one-day experience invites you to live a little louder, love a little deeper, and stretch into the fullest expression of you.

Rooted in the yogic principles of Satya (truthfulness) and Brahmacharya (wise use of energy), the day blends lighthearted play with deep purpose. Expect energizing hikes, expressive yoga, grounding somatic movement, and space to reflect on what feels real, what feels heavy, and what’s ready to shift.

We’ll fuel the soul with conversation to expand the mind, and fuel the belly with nourishing, seasonal meals that taste like summer joy. This is your invitation to shake off the serious, get honest with your heart, and leave feeling grounded, uplifted, and a whole lot more you.

 HATHA YOGA CLASSES 

Our yoga practices throughout the day are an exploration of Lila -the divine play of movement, breath, and presence. Through energizing flows and moments of intentional stillness, you’ll be invited to move with curiosity, listen honestly to your body, and honour your energy with care. Each practice blends joy with purpose, creating space to stretch, strengthen, soften, and smile. We’ll explore what feels true in each moment—no pressure, no perfection—just movement that leaves you feeling refreshed, aligned, and fully alive.

ENERGIZING OUTDOOR EXCURSION 

Step outside and immerse yourself in the beauty of Kananaskis Country on our guided hike along the Fullerton Loop, just a short drive from the community hall. This 6.6 km trail with 224 m of elevation will get your heart pumping and your spirit lifted.

These shared meals are a moment to slow down, savour the present, and honour the energy you bring to the table an embodiment of Brahmacharya, the practice of balance and mindful consumption.

You’ll also be invited into a grounding, creative craft activity a playful yet reflective experience designed to spark insight and self-expression.
