Registered Name: The Abbey Retreat Centre

Business Number: 751116120RR0001

Abbey Retreat Centre is a residential facility in the beautiful Algonquin highlands, in a wooded area fronting on two ponds. We offer four-day retreats for people at any stage in the cancer journey together with a caregiver. These retreats offer time for companionship, learning practices to stay well and whole while dealing with cancer, and times for meditation, yoga, expressive art, music, and a fine menu.

The Centre also hosts various educational programs, and is available as a venue for all sorts of gatherings, with overnight accommodation for 6-12, and seating space for 40-50 for concerts, speakers, wedding, and so on. All of these activities are in support of the cancer support retreats.

"An extraordinary experience from start to finish...shared stories, sadness as well as joy, and in spite of the underlying theme of the cancer journey, a profoundly positive experience."
