Freedom Retreat outside of Montreal

Healing + Shadow Work


Who is this retreat for?

The retreat is only for 8 people so that each person can have enough time. During this work, the group quickly becomes a truly safe and supportive space. This retreat is ideal for those who are willing to dive deep into themselves. If you’ve been to therapy before but could never find the depth you were looking for, this work can help you connect with yourself in a way you might not have experienced before.

This work is also ideal for those who work in healing professions whether as yoga teachers, social workers, psychotherapists, or meditation/ spiritual teachers and mentors. This is deep healing and growth work. For more on the work I offer, please see “The Work” and “About” sections at the top of this page.

What can I expect from this work?

The work is emotion-focused and body-centered (somatic) and has little to do with the intellect. Participants reach the understanding they seek after opening emotionally and going through moments of healing. At times, people experience spiritual openings during this work because emotional openings can catalyze spiritual breakthroughs. But I never guarantee any “fireworks.” The journey of healing and awakening has its own course and timing and nothing can be skipped over or rushed in this process.


How can this work help me in my relationships?

This work increases your emotional awareness. As you begin to heal and are more at peace with how you feel, it becomes naturally easier to express yourself with those you love and this allows you to have much deeper connections with them. Those who feel more at peace with their emotions also become more able to listen in their relationships. Our capacity for empathy and compassion is directly connected with how free we are from our emotional and relational wounds. This freedom allows us to be truly respectful and caring in our relationships.

I did not realize how much weight I was carrying around with me until I started working with Cenk. I've been able to let go of so much already and I am appreciating my life in a completely new way. Cenk is an excellent guide and I am so thankful to have found him. Freedom is possible! - Dorian, 39
