The Experience

Ashinah features private and communal strawbale residences including a hot tub, bath house, circular creative space, and community kitchen.

Our permaculture gardens and organic orchard area is a favourite place for playful fun, yoga or relaxation.

Mornings begin under the warm sun with Yoga, Pranayama (breathing excercises) and Meditation together or in solitude. The forest provides countless natural, contemplative havens.

Nutritious, organic, raw, living meals are an Ashinah mainstay. Organic herbs, flowers, greens, and berries are harvested daily from the garden. Gourmet cakes, zuchinni pesto pasta, super boost smoothies... your tummy is in for a healthy treat.

Splash in the refreshing river in the afternoon. Or dive into the cool, clear waters of Slocan Lake.

Skilled bodyworkers are available upon request, to help you reduce stress and rejuvenate body and spirit. (Please let us know if you would like body work ahead of time)

Imagine the aliveness of life in a magical valley, the peacefulness of the setting sun, and the dancing stars above you on a clear night.
