Back to Self – A Yoga & Pilates Retreat
Hosted by mōrro
September 5th – 7th
Join mōrro for a three-day, end-of-summer retreat to come Back to Self—a weekend to pause, realign, and remember who you are beneath the busyness of everyday life.
Set at Bloom on Loughborough Lake, a serene yoga, meditation, and wellness retreat centre in Eastern Ontario, this immersive weekend combines grounding yoga, uplifting pilates, guided journaling, and cathartic rituals that support self-discovery, reflection, and release.
Connect
with like-minded souls in a supportive and inspiring space
Discover
with your core values and inner compass
Release
of limiting beliefs and make space for clarity
Nourish
your body, mind, and spirit through movement, stillness, and nature
Located on 681 acres of biodiverse boreal forest, Bloom offers a deep sense of peace with unparalleled comfort. Designed by celebrated architect Siamak Hariri, the venue features 16 thoughtfully appointed rooms (each with a private ensuite), accommodating up to 36 guests. Practice in the bright and spacious yoga studio—fully stocked with premium props—or take your movement outdoors onto a 1,700 sq. ft. lakeview deck.
Enjoy unforgettable meals crafted with a seasonal, farm-to-table philosophy, shared around Bloom’s warm and welcoming communal table.
You’ll leave feeling lighter, clearer, and deeply reconnected—with yourself and the season ahead.
