What to Expect: If you'd like to get a better sense of the environment, facilitation by Tyrell and The Wellness Den facility, please read the reviews of our Introductory The Journey Within Workshop.

I value responding to life’s stressors with grace and understanding, and I also try hard to live in the moment - rather than in the past. Lately I’ve been feeling more on edge and when my husband read the description of this retreat, it made so much sense for me to sign up. My husband was very interested as well, so he also signed up. The day was informative, calm, empowering, and full of connection. I felt so much inner realization and growth as a result of this retreat. In regards to attending with my partner, it was actually quite special. We still talk about our individual and shared experiences from this retreat. We also rave about it at family dinners and parties. I could go on and on about why everyone needs to experience this retreat, but it’s so much better to experience it for yourself because everyone’s takeaway is so unique and special to them. 10/10 recommend!!
Attending the Pause to Grow retreat with Tyrell was a truly transformative experience. My intention for the day was to gain acknowledgment and confidence that the healing work I’ve been doing is making a difference — and I left feeling exactly that.
Tyrell creates such a safe, supportive environment where trust and authenticity naturally unfold. I felt completely at ease to show up as myself and to fully engage in sharing my story with an artifact, along with the meditation and breath-work sessions. The way the music pulsed through my body allowed me to connect deeply with my energy — I found myself moving, flowing, and truly savouring the moment.
I left the retreat feeling lighter, more grounded, and with a renewed sense of clarity: where my attention goes, my whole system follows. I’m now more intentional about guiding my awareness and energy toward the life I’m blooming into.
Tyrell'ss guidance and feedback reminded me that I’ve stepped into a new version of myself — one that’s confident, open-hearted, and able to hold space for others. This retreat was exactly what I needed to continue my growth journey.
Highly recommend to anyone seeking deeper connection, self-awareness, and transformation.
Great day with Tyrell for the full day seminar Pause to Grow, April 19th, 2025. Excellent facilitation using a variety of methods. The beauty of the environment, materials, food as well as hot sauna and cold plunge was an exceptional experience.
It was hard to see the day come to an end—I felt like I could have spent hours more leaning into the energy of the amazing group you brought together.
In such a short time, Tyrell created a space where we all felt safe, heard, and able to open up in ways we rarely get to. That, paired with nourishing food, thoughtful snacks, and a pristine, beautiful setting, made for a truly unforgettable experience—one I’ll be reflecting on for weeks to come.
Thank you again, Tyrell and Natasha. You’ve created something truly special.
I had the pleasure of joining Tyrell at the Wellness Den for the Pause to Grow program this past weekend. From first arriving on property and being met by Tyrell I felt calmness and welcome to this majestic property. After meeting our group for the day it didn’t take long to feel safe and comfortable in the container Tyrell and Natasha have created. From our sharing to a walking meditation to breathwork and ending the day with hot and cold exposure it was absolutely perfect.
I have done many retreats in different parts of the world and having access to this container right in my community was amazing. One of the core reasons for signing up was for the community and connection. We had 7 people in our group and it was a perfect mix, felt safe and it was easy to open up and connect.
I would absolutely recommend with all my heart taking the plunge into this well thought out and curated container.
Thank you Tyrell and Natasha for the work you do and the love you share!
