“A rising tide lifts all boats.” ~ JFK
When we work on ourselves and support each other, we can improve the culture of Veterinary Medicine
Join us at Nature Space Resort, in beautiful Prince Edward Island, for a small-group veterinary wellness and leadership retreat.
This is a CE-approved retreat (12 hours of approved CE from the NSVMA, NBVMA, PEIVMA and OVMA).
The veterinary profession can be physically, emotionally, and mentally taxing. The demands of caring for animals, while managing the complexities of practice can leave many veterinary professionals feeling overextended and burned out. With this retreat, our goal is to provide a space for vets, vet technicians, and veterinary support staff a place to unwind, recharge, and enhance their leadership skills in a way that prioritizes their wellness.
At Nature Space Resort, attendees will experience a carefully crafted program that includes mindfulness sessions, leadership workshops, team-building exercises, and wellness practices—all designed to help them not only heal but also grow into stronger, more confident leaders within their field.
This three night, four day retreat includes all of your meals, snacks, and non-alcoholic beverages. In addition to continuing education, it features several incredible wellness experiences, including a sound healing event with the talented Trevor Grant, forest bathing, and yoga. All this while staying in beautiful, unique accommodations with private hot tubs, on-site hot cold therapy with saunas and cold plunges, walking trails, a meditation walking labyrinth, and much more.
Date – June 28-July 1, 2026
This is an intimate retreat with space for only 15 people. Keeping our group size small allows you unparalleled opportunities to interact with your facilitator and each other for a deeply meaningful weekend or personal and professional growth.
***Veterinary technicians, managers, and veterinary support staff welcome*** .
“The most incredible weekend was spent at Nature Space Resort… Our yurt accommodation was magical – and incredibly comfortable… Made use of many of the amenities: private hot tub, sauna and cold plunge, guided forest trails, kayaking, yoga, soundbath; enjoyed every single experience.”
-Dr. Jamie Woorsley
