The Laurentian forest, north of Montreal. This is where you’ll find the Kina8at Centre (pronounced Kinawat), founded by Marie-Josée and Elder Dominique Rankin. This beautiful setting is now home to all of their retreats in Quebec.
For many years, the retreats Marie-Josée leads with Grandfather Dominique have brought joy and depth together with rare force. Three or four days to step out of daily life, to open up to one another, and to settle into the silence of the forest. You come away at peace, and transformed.
Some of these retreats Marie-Josée leads alongside Grandfather. Others she carries on her own, in the spirit of all she has received and made her own over the years.
Retreats are held in French. English-speaking participants are warmly welcomed, provided they understand some French.
