A 3 day immersive retreat
Bowen Island, B.C.
June 2-4, 2025
Calm your mind.
Reconnect to your heart. Awaken your soul.
In the chaos of daily life, it’s easy to lose touch with yourself, your surroundings, and the meaningful moments that bring you peace. If you’re feeling stretched thin, disconnected, or simply yearning for stillness, The Quiet Path offers a space to pause, breathe, and find clarity.
Whether this is your first retreat experience or a continuation of your personal growth journey, The Quiet Path invites you to arrive as you are. There’s no need for perfection, no expectations—just a safe and supportive space to lean into the quiet and leave feeling lighter, calmer, and more connected.
Your quiet path is waiting. Will you take the first step?
“And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul.”
— John Muir
It’s time to get quiet.
In the quiet, we find clarity. We create the space to reconnect with our inner selves, heal from being overwhelmed, and return to what truly matters. Getting quiet allows us to slow down, soften, and align with our most authentic selves.
Our Intention.
To cultivate presence by creating intentional space to reconnect with yourself and align with what truly matters.
Our Pillars.
Movement: Move with intention to connect mind + body
Mindfulness: Practice self-awareness to quiet the mind
Nature: Learn from the land, the food, + the beauty of the forest
Your Transformation.
Let go of what no longer serves you + step into your most aligned self
“In clinical studies, we have seen that 2 hours of nature sounds a day significantly reduce stress hormones up to 800% and activates 500 to 600 DNA segments known to be responsible for healing and repairing the body.”
— Dr. Joe Dispenza
Why This Retreat?
Life rarely gives us permission to pause, but The Quiet Path is your chance to step away and reconnect—with yourself, with nature, and with others.

ERIKA BLAKELY
I found yoga 15 years ago. My mat quickly became the place where I could go that always felt secure and stable. It became home.
Yoga has been my guiding light and greatest teacher ever since. Like most people, I found yoga in a time where I felt hopeless, like there was no hope. years ago I walked away from my corporate accounting career and chose to follow my heart.
I started studying with The Baptiste Institute and now have 1,000’s of hours of training with the institute and teaching in studio. I co-facilitate power yoga teacher trainings and lead international yoga retreats in some of the most beautiful and exciting places in the world.
KAREN BOWEN
Five years ago, I ventured into Baptiste Yoga to add variety to my fitness routine and increase my flexibility.
Little did I know, this choice would spark a profound passion for yoga. By 2020, I had completed my 200-hour RYT, and by 2021, my 300-hour training, deepening my expertise and love for teaching. I'm certified in special populations, YIN, and Power Yoga, reflecting my comprehensive approach to practice.
Becoming an Elevation Life Coach transformed me and my teaching, enhancing my connection with students and my impact. I'm committed to helping others achieve both physical and mental clarity through Baptiste Yoga.
We look forward to welcoming you to this beautiful experience in Bowen Island, B.C.
