Soft & Sacred:
Sanctuary in real time.
Join us as we decolonize wellness and experience healing in community.
Exhale into a gentle reset designed for healing and renewal. Soft & Sacred gathers a small group in our serene hilltop home overlooking the Salish Sea for yoga, somatic healing, sound baths, and Ayurvedic workshops, all nourished by healthy, holistic meals from our private chef.
We’ll move, rest, learn, and be held in community. Expect calm spaces, unrushed conversations, and practices that help you return to yourself.
Single day or weekend passes available.
The Reverie is located on the Coast Salish lands of the Snaw-Naw-As and Snuneymuxw First Nations.

Soft & Sacred at the Reverie is both precious and powerful. It is community in its truest sense: facilitators and participants coming together as parts of a whole. This wholeness was a space filled with laughter, tears, reverence, and unwavering support. We came as individuals and left feeling connected to humanity, to spirit, to each other.

About Me
Hi, I’m Adrienne a single mom, homeschooling my 3 kids on this beautiful land of Vancouver Island.
As an Autistic-ADHD, queer, Sagittarius and lover of all things that give life, a multi-passionate photographer, host, traveller, and learner, I spend my days mothering and caring for the world around me wherever I can.
The Reverie is my home and it is my honour to open it to those seeking community, healing and love.
Perched on a quiet forested hilltop in Lantzville on Vancouver Island, The Reverie is an intentionally designed space for slowing down, gathering meaningfully, and reconnecting with what matters most. With sweeping Salish Sea views, a calm Scandinavian-inspired aesthetic, and spaces that invite both rest and celebration, The Reverie was created to feel intimate, grounded, and deeply welcoming.
Surrounded by nature yet close to the amenities of Nanaimo and North Nanaimo, our property offers a rare blend of privacy, warmth, and connection. From the ocean-views to the quiet forest surroundings and thoughtfully curated interiors, every detail is meant to inspire ease, beauty, and presence.
At its heart, The Reverie is about community, creativity, and creating space for people to gather in a way that feels slower, softer, and more intentional.
