Find Your Peace in the Northern Wilderness

We had such a great time with y’all!!  Long way home with many delays and layovers.  We did not get home till Monday night almost midnight.  We were so impressed with all your cooking and creations.  You sure have an amazing talent!  Hope the fires are under control and that y’all have a great summer!  We’re in the 90’s here with heat index in the 100’s!  🥵.  

Thank you for inviting me and giving me this opportunity to experience this community. Big hugs.

Thank you for everything, Glenna! My higher power was looking out for me when I met you

thank you again for making this retreat so magical – literally in every way!. I felt I was on a true sabbatical….discovering more about myself and the world all at once!You are a healer and a true connector! Your food alone warms our bellies and souls! Thank you for working so hard and making it so very perfect!I love you beyond words and cannot wait until the next one.

Glenna — you’ve introduced me to such a richness that makes you you! Thank you, not just for all the food and hospitality, but for enriching my life on what it means to be from Saskatchewan! I cannot wait to return!

Dearest, dear Glenna,

As I sit to write this, I feel that words are insufficient to describe my gratitude to you. Your welcome that night on Zoom touched my soul. I am someone who questions every “large purchase” I make… and I never questioned this.

That was you. You attended my soul and held me in your embrace. I felt it before I arrived, and know to your mat as I stepped off one plane.

Our time together has been beautiful. You are so attentive — to words, to non-words, to spirit, to dance…

You created sacred space and — even while attending to all of the logistics and feeding us this manna from heaven 🙂 — also managed to be truly present and loving, living, being.

I love that I have this connection with you now and always… and look forward to our continued years to come.

With love + gratitude,

The scenery is stunning: quiet woods, a shimmering lake, and cozy cabins that feel like a warm hug. I spent mornings journaling on the deck, watching the light dance through the trees, and sipping tea by the wood stove as the fire crackled. Even sitting by the kitchen window offered a calming view of nature’s rhythm.

The hosts were exceptional—not just welcoming, but genuinely engaging. Brock was easy to talk to, Kelly kept the mood light with his great sense of humor, and Glenna’s cooking was unforgettable. Every meal—from appetizers to dessert—was like a comforting feast, made with love and care.

Though I didn’t come to fish, I found joy in casting from the dock, canoeing with a dear friend, and simply being present. I connected with other guests over meals and meaningful conversations. One of the most special moments was a fall solstice ceremony under the stars—a beautiful way to honor the season and the stillness.

Northern Echo Escapes is more than a destination—it’s a place to recharge your body, clear your mind, and rest your spirit. Whether you’re fishing or simply finding peace, this retreat offers something truly special
