Beautiful constellations experience
My introduction to constellations with Ginger Joy was illuminating. Ginger delivers a very supportive and insightful role, and magic unfolds. The Sentinel provides a perfectly comfortable setting and delicious food. Magic in the Kootenays.

Rest, relax and be inspired
I enjoyed everything about being at the Sentinel
I love how it’s transformed over the years, the artwork, the Maloca, and the lodge..
I felt nourished to be surrounded by nature, of the mountains, water and trees.
The hot tub, sauna, and cold plunge were so relaxing

When I was in the hot tub, in the early morning , I felt like transported to the ocean, listening to the waves of the lake.

I really felt like I was on a holiday. Thank you for creating such a beautiful space.

Relaxing and Beautiful setting
We stayed overnight and attended a one day workshop at the Sentinel. The event took place in an incredible timber framed roundhouse with stunning lake views. The energy and warmth was wonderful. The meals were excellent! The hot tub and sauna were relaxing and inviting. The room was nicely decorated and cozy and we felt safe and secure. We highly recommend and will definitely attend more retreats!

Magical Place
The Sentinel is a sacred and powerful space to gather along the pristine shores of Kootenay Lake with vistas of snowcapped peaks across the water. Thank you for hosting our group for a 50th birthday celebration of a dear friend. We laughed, we shared, we dipped in the lake, and our hearts were filled with love
