Nestled between two lakes and surrounded by parkland, Xenia is a 38-acre retreat center on Bowen Island (near Vancouver, BC). The land offers a tranquil setting ideal for deepening into the practice of forest therapy. This is the home of Opa, a thousand-year-old Douglas fir tree, along with a variety of other flora and fauna of the Pacific Northwest. Thoughtful amenities such as a labyrinth, meditation sanctuary, and infrared sauna enhance the experience. A short walk leads to the ocean, offering sunset views across the Salish Sea.
