Show up. Open up. Rise up.

Winter 2026 / 27

Winter is a good
teacher.

Things change. We adapt. And there can still be a whole lot of fun in the middle of it. Here's what's open now.

One day camp · Dec 30

Winter Soul
Sessions

Summer Soul Sessions got a winter coat. One full day of music up, cheeks pink, girls together kind of energy, right in the middle of the holiday stretch.

Laughing. Connecting. The good stuff, snuck in.

We'll move, create, get outside, play games, make things and probably get a little silly. Somewhere in all of that: confidence, friendships, what to do when things don't go your way, and how to trust yourself. This isn't a day of sitting around talking about resilience. It's a day of living it.

Feb 5 – 7, 2027 · The Crossing at Ghost River, Cochrane

The weekend you stop putting yourself last. Two nights to let go of who you've been and decide who you are now. Your room and every meal are covered, so all you have to do is show up.

You write down everything you're done carrying. The old version of you, the stories, the "that's just how I am," the obligations you never chose. Then it goes in the fire.

Movement, big questions, honest conversation and ridiculous laughter, led by Jamie and Lisa. Who you are now, said out loud. What you actually want, without shrinking it to sound reasonable. And nobody lets you walk it back.

The small stuff that decides whether any of it lasts. What you stop doing this week. What you start doing every day. What you say no to first. You leave with your first week as her already decided.

Jamie Conroy and Lisa McManes
Hosted by Jamie Conroy and Lisa McManes of ORENDA, with Elisa Boyd. Fourteen women only.
