ROOT DOWN TO RISE UP

a grounding retreat for sporty souls

December 5 & 6

Squamish, BC

REGISTRATION FOR THIS RETREAT IS NOW CLOSED. PLEASE JOIN MY NEWSLETTER BELOW FOR FIRST ACCESS TO FUTURE RETREATS!

You love moving, exploring, challenging yourself. Perhaps you’re the “reliable one” who shows up for others and expects big things of yourself. And if you’re deep-down honest, all of that motion sometimes leaves you feeling overstretched and tired.

How juicy would it feel to hit pause, reconnect, and get grounded ahead of the holiday season and year to come?

This retreat is your invitation.

ROOT DOWN: connect to your foundations

RISE UP: expand & grow into what’s possible for you

Join Heather Kennedy, life coach and guide to sporty souls, for a sweet and slow 24 hours set aside just for you.

You’ll tap into what matters most and plot a clear path to being your most calm, grounded and joyful self in 2026.

This retreat is for you if:

  • You want to live with intention + joy in 2026 and beyond

  • You enjoy feeling calm and grounded—and want these to be sustainable states of being

  • You’re craving a reset and space to plan for the months ahead

  • You want to spend your time on things that matter

  • You tend to start strong in January but lose momentum quickly

  • You say yes too often and it’s making you tired

  • You want your life to reflect your values and make an impact

  • You enjoy being in community with other beautiful sporty souls

FAQ’s

If you’ve got questions about this retreat or coaching with me, you might find the answer here. If not, please reach out and we’ll chat! heather@drheatherkennedy.ca

  • Absolutely. You’ll be prompted to specify any dietary needs upon registration, and you’ll be greeted with nutritious snacks and lunch to suit you!

  • Yes. You’ll be offered various movement options and encouraged to listen to how your body intuitively wants to move.

  • Coaching is a partnership that sees you as whole and capable. The coach (me) asks the coachee (you) questions designed to facilitate your growth, exploration, and personal goal-setting. Rather than offering advice or focusing on the past, the coach listens deeply to you and serves as a guide as you plot your own path forward. Coaching can be done in a 1:1 or group setting (at this retreat, a group setting format will be used).

  • I’m so glad to share this experience with you! Expect a safe and welcoming space, freedom to take things at your own pace (need to skip a planned session and go for a walk? That’s OK!), and a time of connecting with yourself and others on a deeper level.

  • You aren’t alone! While there be opportunities for sharing within the group (a space that will be held in confidence), you don’t need to unless you truly want to. Your comfort and needs matter.

  • I’d love to have a conversation with you! Reach out: heather@drheatherkennedy.ca

    You can also learn more here.

  • Life happens, and I understand. For the Root Down to Rise Up retreat, a full refund (minus processing fees) will be offered until 30 days before the retreat start date (or you may choose to keep this amount as a credit on your account toward a future event). A 50% refund (or credit) will be offered from 15-30 days before the start date. Refunds will not be offered after this time due to costs already incurred in preparation for the retreat.

Let’s Rise Up Together.

See you in December!
