  • A space away from the distractions where you can unwind or focus. 
  • A container to practice holding space for yourself and reconnect to your own needs 
  • Quiet place to focus on a project (art, writing etc)
  • A place where you can give yourself permission to do less.

  • Perfect for artists, writers, caregivers, therapists, knowledge keepers, and stressed out professionals who need a nervous system reset.

Meet your host, Joy Onyschak

As a trauma-informed somatic guide and nervous system coach, Joy helps people with nervous system regulation, weaving somatic movement, breathwork & circle into unique classes, courses, 1:1 sessions & intimate retreats.

Joy grew up in the Pembina Valley, and spent a great deal of time on this property that belonged to her late Uncle.  Her & her husband, Matt, restored it in the fall of 2021 with the intention of hosting others so they can experience the benefits of quiet, connection and slowing down.
