Healing the Spirit...

The Temagami Anishnabai Tipi Camp offers a special opportunity for you on your healing path: to share in the simplicity and beauty of our teachings in a natural and soothing setting, and experience a healing of the spirit. The five-day and weekend retreats offer programs that provide an empowering experience for individuals to meet and connect with others traveling on the sacred road. As we journey through the sacred hoop of life, it is important to know each one of us is sacred and has a place on the medicine wheel.

You will spend five days (Monday to Friday) or one weekend (Friday to Sunday) living comfortably in a traditional tipi camp in Temagami First Nation territory on Bear Island. Each day is planned to provide you with more understanding and appreciation for the sacredness of creation through the sharing of the Anishnabi teachings. The relaxed atmosphere will allow you to enjoy one of nature's finest creations: Lake Temagami.
