Inner Alchemy Retreat

March 22-25, 2024

Kananaskis Mountain Lodge, Alberta, Canada

So many women know they don't make enough space in their lives for themselves

Yet even exploring how to take back some of your own life might bring up feelings of overwhelm, guilt and many other emotions and beliefs that keep you stuck, leading you to continue to donate space in your life to everyone but yourself. Maybe you end up feeling resentful or maybe you just end up so exhausted you don’t know what to do with time for yourself when you do get it. I hear you, and I have created this retreat to support you in learning how to find more space in your life for you.

Learn how to relax without the guilt,
Experience less overwhelm when you have time for yourself, and
Learn how to let go of resentment towards the people taking up space in your life.

Each day is not an exact copy of another and this can make it difficult to consistently add new habits to our lives. Creating space for ourselves in our own life does not look exactly the same each day and it doesn’t have to take a lot of time, energy or money. Making small shifts can make a big difference in feeling like we deserve to take up space in our own life.

Meet the Facilitator

Mikylah Doane

Hello lovely! I am so excited you are interested in Inner Alchemy! My name is Mikylah Doane, I am a Provisional Psychologist in Central Alberta and founder of the Inner Alchemy Retreat. I have a private Practice, Footprints Psychological, in Sylvan Lake Alberta. I love hiking, hot tubs, mountains, the ocean, traveling, breathing in the smell of the air after a good thunderstorm, conversations with friends where I learn something about myself I hadn’t known before, and waking up to snuggles from my sweet puppies!

I find that we as humans, for multiple reasons, lose perspective on what space they want or need to take up in their own lives. It can be so easy to take care of others first, only to find that at the end of the day/week/month etc there isn’t time or energy left for themselves! Even when we make intentional time we may have given all of our energy away to others. Each of us needs something slightly different to keep us feeling connected and fulfilled in our own selves, and over time, what we need and what getting it looks like can shift and change.

One definition of alchemy is:

“Alchemy is defined as the process of taking something ordinary and turning it into something extraordinary, sometimes in a way that cannot be explained. An example of using alchemy is a person who takes a pile of scrap metal and turns it into beautiful art.” ~ yourdictionary.com

Each of us has our own inner alchemy, our own needs, balance, and idea of what extraordinary is for us. This retreat will help to create space for individuals to tune into their own selves and move forward with intention.

The combination of physical, mental, emotional, spiritual (your relationship with your own internal self), with aspects of nature is something I am so excited to share with you!
