WHAT THEY’RE SAYING

01

My experience at The Sentinel Retreat Center was truly transformational. Richard and Gillian are exceptional facilitators, offering powerful ceremonies that profoundly change lives. My 5-MeO-DMT session helped me shed layers of fear, allowing me to now pursue my purpose. It Is by far the most powerful medicine I have ever experienced. 5-MeO-DMT provides a gateway to the most transcendent experience and awareness expansion possible!

The Sentinel provides a perfectly supportive environment, set amidst the stunning Kootenay lake, where our group of 8 friends can explore and overcome our biggest fears in the safest setting. The combination of nature, nourishing organic meals, and expert guidance makes this retreat a hidden gem for personal healing and growth.

A pearl on the Lake. Went for the day with the woman I love to experience the spa. The cedar tub and sauna were delightful, but all the buildings in general were impressive and thoughtfully designed for physical relaxation and spiritual elevation. The staff were friendly and accommodating and I would recommend checking it out 🙂

Had the chance to stay twice at The Sentinel in the past year. This is an amazing space. The gorgeous lake and most amazing views of the mountains contribute to create an atmosphere of peace, reflection, creativity and inspiration. The facilities are already amazing and continuously expanding.

The place is absolutely stunning. Never seen scenery like that. Only thing better was the staff. From the general manager, to the chef to the owners themselves. It was a place of health and serenity. Dog friendly and have an amazing dock and sauna. We can’t wait to go back. Only a few rooms so it always felt calm, quiet and relaxing.
