    Description

    We have recently purchased 33 acres on the magical Island of Cortes. Nestled in a magical wooded forest we plan to build a series of geodesic domes that will be home to a healing retreat center. We are looking to open the doors in the fall of 2026 and are inviting people (single or couple) to get involved in the first phase of building. This will include constructing the central dome.

    If you love being in nature surrounded by the stunning beauty of the west coast of B.C. and have any carpentry skills, we would love to hear from you. We ask for 5 days a week with 5 hours a day. Any time spent beyond these hours will be reimbursed with an hourly wage. There are many perks to this arrangement as you will get to see some of the most beautiful coastline in B.C. Cortes Island is a spectacular place with many trails, unique beaches to explore and a very connected sense of community.

    Looking forward to connecting soon.

    Cortes Island is as rich in community as it is in wilderness. At local community gatherings in Mansons Landing, Whaletown, and Squirrel Cove, artisans sell their wares and create connections. Foodies can choose from comfort food to mouth-watering West Coast fusion restaurants that rank among the best on the coast. And local festivals offer a chance for visitors to interact with the colour and flair that make this island remarkable.
