About Lasqueti

Lasqueti is an island off the east coast of Vancouver Island. It is quite remote and isolated, with a population of around 500 people. It is perfectly far from all the sounds and distractions of the city life, making it an ideal place to disconnect from our busy lives and connect with our bodies and nature.

About Leviathan

This is the craziest place you will ever see in BC. Guaranteed.

Here’s Leviathan’s official mission statement:

“To provide a place in nature to study movement, dance and meditation. Leviathan Studio is committed to sustainable practices and permaculture serving organic local food whenever possible. Committed to a safe, intoxicant free environment.”

Leviathan is built by a man named Mark Young, primarily for Contact Improvisation. He will be our host, and will be providing all the food and accommodation.

Dates & Pricing

 FAQs

  • There will be 3 meals - Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.

    The meals are high quality, and high in both protein and fat.

    You can expect: Wild Sockeye salmon, free range organic chickens raised on the property, wild lamb, Lasqueti raised pork and beef, as well as lots of fruit and fresh kale from the garden.

    (There will be vegetarian / vegan options available if requested!)

  • You can expect something similar to camping.
    There are a few options:

    • There are beds in shared spaces that you can use for free. You do still need to bring your own bedding & pillow for these

    • You can bring your own tent and camping gear (It is quite lovely and peaceful outside)

    • You can rent a tent for $100 that will have a futon, bedding, and towel

  • Lasqueti is a remote island, and Leviathan is not a 5 start hotel. You won’t get a fancy lodging experience, but you will have all the basics, including toilets and a shower facility.

  • No. The movement and yoga sessions are designed to give everyone the opportunity to dive deeper into their physicality and cultivate a state of play, regardless of skill level.

  • We will get there by taking two different ferries from Vancouver. But don’t worry. We will coordinate ferry rides as a group and provide all the necessary information closer to the date!

  • We know that finances can be tight. That’s why we give the option to pay half of the payment to secure your spot, and the other half 3 months before the retreat!
    (If that is still a problem, we can also discuss other options)

  • We can offer full refund up until 3 months before the retreat. After that, it is not guaranteed, and it will depend on the attendance level and whether there is a waiting list.
