Self Care Summer Camp

WOMEN’S WELLNESS RETREAT IN EASTERN ONTARIO

JULY 30 - AUGUST 2, 2027

JOIN US !!

Join us for an immersive 4 day escape designed to nourish your mind, body + spirit.

Gift yourself the opportunity to prioritize true holistic self-care. Surrounded by over 900 acres of breathtaking Boreal forest, a stunning clear lake, and likeminded sisterhood, you’ll feel instantly at ease— and be so glad you came.

Born out of a desire to create more space for calm, connection, and playfulness— our Self-Care Summer Camp is here! A transformative sanctuary set in a serene natural landscape, where women gather to embrace their well-being and deep, genuine communion with others. This encompassing experience is dedicated to fostering a supportive sisterhood through various mindfulness practices, skincare rituals, guided movement, creative workshops, and enlightening group discussions.

Experience complete nourishment of mind, body and soul. This is an opportunity to become empowered to truly love the skin you’re in. We have an innate ability to heal and thrive when mental and physical well-being are aligned. Immerse yourself in true relaxation in a holistic way, revealing the powerful tools you have to regulate your nervous system within you already. Leave feeling radiant and fresh while looking and feeling like the best version of yourself— naturally.

Throughout this retreat, you’ll build lasting connections with like-minded women who share your commitment to wellness and self-discovery. We encourage a safe space to practice vulnerability and explore our inner landscapes more deeply. Share stories, laughter, and support as you cultivate friendships that uplift and inspire one another.

When women gather, it is pure magic. Many come to the retreat solo and leave with new friends that they’ll cherish for a long time. It’s an absolute delight to witness the meaningful connections that develop throughout our powerful time together.

“Absolutely perfect from start to finish! The setting, the accommodations, the food and of course our hosts Cassandra and Abbey. So many activities to choose from, so many special places to relax, there’s something for everyone. I highly recommend it!”

This is for you if…

YOU WANT TO CREATE SPECIAL MOMENTS WITH WOMEN THIS SUMMER. Moving, breathing, creating, laughing, talking, eating, swimming, playing, resting, and just being together.

YOU WANT TO START PUTTING YOURSELF FIRST. You care a lot for others, and know how important it is to put that same care back into yourself.

YOU’D LIKE TO BE MORE INTENTIONAL. Life gets busy and we get distracted, but what if you could press pause and come back to the present moment?

YOU HAVE A DESIRE TO NOURISH YOUR MIND, BODY AND SOUL and you want to receive inspiration and motivation to continue nourishing yourself back home.

YOU WANT TO FEEL THAT IT’S OKAY TO REST. Hustle culture is real, and often productivity is on the mind when we should be resting. This retreat celebrates honouring our need for true rest.

YOU CRAVE A CHANCE TO GET CREATIVE. You know how good it feels to get back to your innate creativity and playful attitude.

YOU’D LIKE TO GET IN TOUCH WITH NATURE. This landscape is truly magical and you’ll be in awe of the beauty and thoughtfulness in this natural environment.

YOU ARE CURIOUS ABOUT NEW WAYS OF APPROACHING BEAUTY AND SELF-CARE. Whether you’re sprawled out in the comfy living room, in the glass box dining area, on your mat, around the fire, or any of the other magical nooks you find yourself this weekend— thought-provoking conversations stirring up new ways of perceiving ourselves and others are had.

If you’re reading this to make a decision to attend one of Cassandra’s retreats, take this as your sign to do it. You’ll spend the time feeling rejuvenated, relaxed and inspired. Grateful to yourself, mind and body, that the decision was made to come. You’ll be taken care of, encouraged to explore or simply do nothing at all. Amazing retreat and just what I needed 💕 thank you Cassandra and Abbey!

— Emilia

I recently had the immense pleasure of attending a retreat near Kingston. It was a beautiful experience with a lot of beautiful women. I was able to go, relax, let go of the expectation to work, eat clean, healthy (and delicious!) food and just focus on self care in a time where I really needed it. I am so thankful to Cass and Abbey for the experience and it will stay with me always. I truly hope to be able to return next year <3

Just fabulous! Beautiful, spiritual location with beautiful, inspiring leaders, Cassandra and Abbey. To say Cassandra is a skin care expert and Abbey is a yoga expert is really an understatement. They both take it to another level with natural products, approaches and wonderful willingness to share their knowledge. It was an experience that I hope stays with me and carries me to next year when we can meet again.

Calm Down Club is such a special and thoughtfully created space. I had the privilege of photographing Cassandra’s Self Care Summer Camp, and I was genuinely moved by the warmth, connection and care I witnessed throughout the experience. Every woman was welcomed exactly as she was and given the space to rest, play, connect and simply be.

Cassandra leads with such deep empathy, openness and intention. Her own experiences have shaped her into a truly formidable leader—someone who makes people feel seen, safe and supported without judgment. You can feel how much heart she pours into every detail. Calm Down Club isn’t just a business or an event; it’s a community that women deeply need, and I’m so grateful I had the opportunity to experience it firsthand.

Meet your retreat team! Abbey and Cassandra began working together in early 2023 offering transformative group sessions in Niagara, ON.

They each have unique gifts that they bring to the world which are amplified in the presence of each other.

  • Trauma Informed Somatic Skin Therapist + Certified Aromatherapist (CAHP)

    Hi, I’m Cassandra 👋 (she/her) I have a compassionate and trauma-informed practice that weaves physical, emotional and energetic healing modalities into magical bespoke treatments + experiences.

    I am a highly sensitive, empathetic and feminine being that prioritizes rest and time to care for myself so I can do this beautiful work.

    I am honoured to hold a safe space that acts as a respite amidst stress. The stories that have been shared with me over the years all hold a special place in my heart, and I am deeply grateful for the genuine connections and exchanges made. I have been working in the personal care industry for over 10 years and it has mostly taught me this— you never know what someone is dealing with under the surface.

    My experience ditching a chemical-laden beauty routine + lifestyle rooted in ‘fight or flight’ mode in exchange for rituals of radical self-care fuels my passion and desire to share this journey with you. I empower my clients to develop a more intimate knowledge of their skin and truly love the skin they're in.

    I believe we have everything we need within us, and true healing is a return back home to that wholeness. It is a passion of mine to guide others in embodying their fullest most authentic self so they can find more joy, health and connection in their life.

  • Certified Sound Healer, Meditation Instructor, and Ayurvedic Yoga Specialist

    I believe that yoga is a homecoming to the truest most authentic version of myself.

    I fell in love with the practice of yoga while embarking on my own personal healing journey from a severe eating disorder. I experienced a complete shift in the perception I had of myself and the world through the development of my own inner awareness. Practicing and living my yoga completely changed my life.

    It became my mission to share this ancient wisdom with others who have a desire to come home to their authentic selves, find healing, self-compassion and inner peace. Following the path of yoga introduced me to the power of meditation, sound healing and ayurveda, immersing me further into the healing of mind, body and spirit, and the potential to help others heal too.

    I am here to guide you on a journey of seeing that you have the power to shift your state of being, and to heal, with the tools that exist within you already.
