Intensive Therapy Retreats in Montreal, QC

Montreal, founded in 1642 as Ville-Marie, is the second-most populous city in Canada and the most populous city in Quebec. The “City of Mary” is named after Mount Royal, the triple-peaked hill around which the early city was built.

With one of the most exciting food and cultural scenes in North America and home to a wealth of annual festivals and events, Montreal offers the perfect backdrop to a week of deep healing and rejuvenation.
