Join us for a special screening of Rescued Hearts, hosted by ... Quantum Popcorn.

This powerful, award-winning documentary explores the miracles, mystery, and science of healing with horses - and it’s not just for horse lovers.

It’s for anyone curious about the power of the heart and our innate ability to heal when we reconnect with ourselves, each other, and the world around us.

Saturday, November 21, 2026
Doors open: 6:30 PM
Film begins: 7:00 PM

Following the screening of Rescued Hearts, we invite you to stay for a warm and welcoming community discussion.

We will be joined by two wonderful guest speakers; Sue from On The Ground Counselling as well as Karen who will be connecting in from the UK "Reiki with Karen" who work with animals and have firsthand experience with their remarkable capacity to support healing. Together, we will explore the themes of the film, share reflections, ask questions, and deepen our understanding of the beautiful connection between humans and animals.

Location: Weldwood Lecture Theatre at UNBC

Rescued Hearts Film

It has taken me a long time to find a movie that I truly wanted to bring to our community. One that heals, teaches, inspires, and touches the heart. One that invites us to look a little deeper, to question, to feel, and perhaps to see the world through a different lense, and I finally found it!!

Some images of this last weekend… Every moment was sacred, intentional, connecting within community and joy-full.

I’m excited to see the mural when it’s finished because that will become the logo for next year… Each person this year left a mark on that image which will become the story unfolding as Thresholds grows. 

What was a dream became a reality and the reality was so much better than Than what was imagined. Every person, every breakthrough, every tear and every laugh created the magic that was this weekend.

Thank you to all the facilitators and all the amazing participants who leaned in, not really knowing what this weekend would be, and became part of something so much more. 

When we have the dates nailed down for next year, I will let everyone know.

A Living Legacy

One of the most meaningful parts of Thresholds: Into Authentic Relations won't just be experienced—it will be created.

We're honoured to have Shannon from The Boho Sketch Co. designing a one-of-a-kind illustration exclusively for our retreat. During the weekend, every participant will be invited to add their own brushstroke, colour, or creative touch, becoming part of a collaborative piece of art.

This isn't about creating a perfect painting.

It's about creating something together.

Each mark will represent a moment of courage, connection, healing, laughter, vulnerability, and belonging. Every person who joins us will leave a piece of themselves on the canvas, while taking a piece of the experience home in their heart.

When the retreat ends, the artwork won't.

It will become the living logo of Thresholds, carrying the spirit of this year's gathering into the next. A reminder that the community we build together continues long after the weekend is over.

Thank you, Shannon, for sharing your incredible talent and helping us create something that will tell the story of Thresholds for years to come.

We can't wait to watch it come to life—one brushstroke at a time.

Heal in community. Be witnessed. Belong.

There is so much more to this retreat than I can capture in a single post.

As we get closer to Thresholds, I find myself wanting to share the rest of the story—the heart behind what we're creating, the experiences waiting to unfold, and the intention woven into every part of the weekend.

Over the coming days and weeks, I'll be taking you behind the scenes, introducing some of the ceremonies, workshops, and offerings that make this retreat so unique.

Today's glimpse is into one of the experiences we'll share together: our Elemental Attunements—an invitation to deepen your relationship with the natural world and the elements that live both around us and within us.

If you've been wondering what Thresholds is really about, I hope you'll follow along.

And if your heart has been whispering that it's time to choose yourself, there's still time to join us.

Applications are open, and space is limited.

An Invitation Made More Accessible!

From the beginning, Thresholds was created with one hope—to offer a deeply intentional retreat where people could gather to heal, connect, and belong.

As this vision has grown, so too has the generosity surrounding it. Through the support of our facilitators, volunteers, and community, we've been able to make this experience more accessible without compromising the care, nourishment, or intention behind the weekend.

It brings me so much joy to share that the investment for Thresholds: Into Authentic Relations is now:

$777 (tax included)

This includes accommodations, all meals, workshops, ceremonies, and the full retreat experience.

If cost has been one of the reasons you've been hesitating, I hope this opens the door a little wider. And to those who have already registered—thank you for believing in this vision from the beginning. Your investment helped make this possible, and you'll be receiving a refund so that everyone shares the same retreat investment.

I cannot wait to welcome each of you to Thresholds at Camp Friendship in August.

With gratitude,
Kareen

One of the reasons Thresholds was created is because I longed for a healing space where men and women could gather together.

Over the years, I have attended beautiful retreats and healing experiences. They were meaningful, transformative, and deeply nourishing. Yet I often left with a feeling that something was missing.

For me, that missing piece was the opportunity to heal alongside both my sisters and my brothers.

Healing happens in relationship.

There is something profoundly powerful about being witnessed by people of all genders. About learning from one another. About sharing space with authenticity, vulnerability, compassion, and respect.

To be seen without judgment.

To be heard without ridicule.

To take up space and allow others to do the same.

Thresholds was born from that vision.

A space where all genders are welcome.

A space where healing is held in community.

A space to slow down, soften, reconnect, and remember what it feels like to belong.

Applications are now open.

One of the things that makes Thresholds so unique is that it is intentionally inclusive of all genders.

When I began looking for retreats that focused on healing, authentic connection, and transformation, I noticed that many were created specifically for men or specifically for women. While those spaces can be incredibly valuable, I often found myself leaving with a feeling that something was missing.

For me, that missing piece was the opportunity to heal, learn, grow, and be witnessed alongside both our sisters and our brothers.

There is something profoundly powerful about gathering in a sacred space where people of all genders come together with a shared intention to heal, connect, and grow.

To be seen without judgment.

To be heard without ridicule.

To take up space.

To practice authenticity.

To witness one another's humanity.

This vision became one of the foundations of Thresholds.

A space where we can move beyond separation and remember that healing often happens in relationship—with ourselves, with one another, and with community.

If you've been longing for a retreat experience that honours both individuality and togetherness, we invite you to join us.

A place to slow down.
A place to soften.
A place to reconnect.

Spaces are limited.
