Awakened Spirit. Healed Heart. Renewed Mind. Healthy Body. in Ryder Lake, British Columbia

The ELO Experience

Awakened Spirit. Healed Heart. Renewed Mind. Healthy Body.

At Santé Wellness Retreat, we believe true renewal begins within — when you awaken your spirit, heal your heart and renew your mind. From that place of inner alignment, your body can respond naturally.

Real Change. Real Results.

Designed to be deeply effective

Our retreats near Vancouver, BC, are designed to be deeply effective — even in just a few days. A short retreat can reset your nervous system, restore emotional balance and bring back mental clarity, helping you return home feeling lighter, calmer and more connected to yourself.

For those ready to go deeper, the ELO Transformation Retreat offers a seven-day immersive experience designed to create lasting change. Whether your transformation includes spiritual awakening, emotional healing, renewed confidence, physical vitality or mental peace, the results of your time at Santé are meant to go home with you — and continue unfolding long after you leave.

You will return with practical tools for daily self-care, healing habits and simple routines that support ongoing wellbeing and wholeness.

Integrated wellness

Crafted to restore balance and inspire clarity

Guided by our wellness team, each experience blends movement, mindfulness and nature immersion to take you to the next level of your journey. Every program is designed to help you pause, reset and transform — at your own pace and depth.

Mindful Movement

Each day includes yoga, stretch or guided hikes — designed to awaken the body, sharpen focus and refresh you with the mountain air.

Healing Food

Savour chef-curated menus made with locally sourced, mostly organic, nutrient-rich ingredients that support vitality, digestion and inner balance.

Restorative Therapies

Experience healing through daily practices — massage, infrared sauna, hot and cold plunge — to ease tension and calm the nervous system.

Spiritual Awakening

Immerse in fresh-air practices like forest bathing, reflective forest walks and outdoor sitting spaces to deepen your sense of presence.

Renewed Mindset

Engage in guided sessions on building beliefs, mindset, resilience and intention-setting — tools you can carry home and integrate into daily life.

Heart Healing

Opt for extended stays for a greater shift — intensive support, in-depth practices, and a fully woven rhythm of wellbeing over multiple nights.

Mostly organic food

A Mediterranean diet, with a vegan option
