Bliss Retreat on Galiano Island, Vancouver
MARCH 27, 2007. Relax, refresh, renew. Journalists with a confirmed assignment are invited to join Semperviva Yoga Centres October 26-28 at Bodega Resort on Galiano Island, one of the Gulf Islands off the coast of Vancouver, BC. The rejuvenating trip includes yoga, hiking, meditation, and vegetarian meals. Follow a knowledgeable guide on a hike to Dionysus Point. Explore the waters around the Gulf Islands by kayak or chartered boat cruise. After, let a masseuse ease away any muscle tension.
Galiano Island, just 50 minutes via ferry from the lower mainland, is about the size of Manhattan, with just over 1,000 residents. Straight out of an Emily Carr painting, the island has more trees than people. Those who do live there are often writers, musicians, and artists.
Bodega Resort nestles on 22 acres at the base of Bodega Ridge, with views of Trincomali Channel, the surrounding Gulf Islands, and the Vancouver Island mountains. The spacious three-bedroom cabins are complete with hardwood floors, environmentally friendly carpeting and cedar decks. Positioned to take advantage of the stunning sunsets, the cabins and main lodge enable you to stay connected to the scenery while keeping you cozy.
Transportation to Galiano Island not included.
