The experience

Space for a deeper kind of renewal

Food at Santé is both nourishment and connection. Our cooking retreats bring guests into the kitchen for hands-on learning that is practical, sensory and rooted in the seasons of British Columbia.

With organic and locally sourced ingredients, participants explore mindful preparation, flavour-building and the pleasure of creating a meal together. Workshops reflect Chef Sydney’s approach across A Bon Santé, Santé Comfort and Santé Gourmet menus, with vegan options available.

The experience extends beyond recipes. It is an invitation to slow down, understand what supports enduring energy and bring a more intentional relationship with food back to your own table.

“Come build your health, boost your wellness and enjoy enduring energy.”

A moment of calm during the Cooking Retreats at Santé Wellness Retreat

Is this you?

You have been running on empty for too long

If any of this feels familiar, you are exactly who we created this retreat for.

You are doing everything “right” yet still feel depleted, foggy or disconnected.
You crave real rest — not another weekend of screens, noise and to-do lists.
You want to move your body, eat well and reset without willpower and pressure.
You are ready to reconnect with yourself, and maybe the people you love.

Come as you are. Leave lighter, clearer and genuinely restored.

What your days hold

A daily rhythm designed to restore you

Every day weaves together movement, nourishment, rest and reflection — held gently, at your own pace.

Mindful Movement

Each day includes yoga, stretch or guided hikes — designed to awaken the body, sharpen focus and refresh you with the mountain air.

Healing Food

Savour chef-curated menus made with locally sourced, mostly organic, nutrient-rich ingredients that support vitality, digestion and inner balance.

Restorative Therapies

Experience healing through daily practices — massage, infrared sauna, hot and cold plunge — to ease tension and calm the nervous system.

Spiritual Awakening

Immerse in fresh-air practices like forest bathing, reflective forest walks and outdoor sitting spaces to deepen your sense of presence.

Renewed Mindset

Engage in guided sessions on building beliefs, mindset, resilience and intention-setting — tools you can carry home and integrate into daily life.

Heart Healing

Opt for extended stays for a greater shift — intensive support, in-depth practices, and a fully woven rhythm of wellbeing over multiple nights.
