Kingfisher Oceanside Resort & Spa

A restorative retreat to help you pause, breathe, and begin again.
Vancouver Island, British Columbia | Kingfisher Oceanside Resort & Spa

June 14-16, 2026

A Transformational Retreat Curated by

Ally Stone

Imagine waking up to the sound of waves meeting the shoreline, the soft coastal air drifting through your balcony door, and the stillness that only the ocean can offer. Morning light stretches across the water at Kingfisher Resort, inviting you to take a slow breath, the kind you haven’t taken in far too long.

Outside, the rhythm of the tides sets a different pace. Eagles glide overhead. The world feels quieter, steadier, and suddenly you can hear yourself again.

This retreat isn’t simply time away, it’s an intentional return to who you are beneath the noise and responsibility of everyday life. Curated by Ally Stone, this intimate, restorative retreat invites you to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with your own inner steadiness. A place that may have been waiting patiently beneath the surface.

Step into a space where deep rest meets grounded renewal. Experience practices designed to restore balance, clarity, and inner steadiness. Be guided into presence through mindfulness, HeartMath, meditation, and embodied learning.

Nestled along the rugged coastline of Vancouver Island, Kingfisher Oceanside Resort & Spa offers the perfect backdrop for this kind of inner return. With its award-winning spa, therapeutic Hydropath circuit, and breathtaking ocean views, every detail of the environment supports your restoration.

This is more than self-care. It’s a reconnection.

It’s time to refill your cup, reawaken your clarity, and reclaim the well-being you deserve.

About the Retreat

A Transformational Experience

A Transformational Experience

An Invitation to Step Away and Come Home to Yourself

Escape to the serene shores of Kingfisher Oceanside Resort & Spa, a sanctuary where the rhythm of the ocean meets the art of well-being. Surrounded by sweeping coastal views, therapeutic spa experiences, and the calming energy of the West Coast, this retreat offers the rare opportunity to step out of the pace of daily life and into a space of deep restoration.

Co-facilitated by Ally Stone and Gillian Verhey, this immersive experience is designed for the woman who gives so much of herself to everyone else and is finally ready to reconnect with her own centre. Together, Ally and Gillian bring a unique blend of grounded personal leadership, mindfulness, meditation, and heart-centred practices to guide you back to yourself.

Over the course of three days, you’ll reconnect with your inner wisdom, nourish your mind and body, and leave feeling restored, aligned, and renewed.

Ally Stone

The Inspired Leader

Ally Stone is a national voice in heart-centered leadership and the founder of The Inspired Leader, a platform dedicated to bringing humanity back into the way we live and lead. With nearly two decades of experience coaching executives and teams across North America, Ally is known for her ability to blend emotional intelligence, leadership strategy, and well-being in a way that creates real, lasting change.

She is a Certified HeartMath Resilience Mentor and Meditation Teacher with extensive training in MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction) and Polyvagal Theory – training that grounds her work in both science and lived experience.

Her approach is rooted in one core belief: when women are well, everything in their lives elevates. Their leadership grows. Their relationships deepen. Their presence strengthens. They make decisions from clarity instead of pressure. They live in alignment with who they truly are. This is why Ally leads wellness retreats. Because well-being isn’t separate from leadership, it is the foundation for how we lead, live, love, and move through the world.

Every retreat she facilitates is intentionally designed to reconnect women with their inner steadiness, their intuition, and the authenticity that often gets buried under responsibility and pace. At this retreat, Ally will guide you through practices that support deep restoration, emotional clarity, and nervous system alignment. Her teachings create space for women to come home to themselves in a way that feels sustainable, honest, and profoundly renewing.

This is leadership through well-being. And it is the heart of Ally’s work.

Gillian Verhey

Yoga Teacher & Spiritual Guide

Gillian Verhey is a spiritual guide, yoga teacher, and vibrational healer dedicated to helping people reconnect with their inner wisdom, presence, and natural state of balance. Her journey into healing and self-discovery began on the yoga mat, where she first experienced the profound power of breath, stillness, and embodiment. What started as physical healing quickly became a deeper calling, leading her to become a certified yoga teacher in 2011 with training in Sivananda Hatha Yoga, Prenatal Yoga, Aerial Yoga, and Yoga Nidra.

Deeply passionate about the mind–body connection, Gillian expanded her work into Vibrational Healing and Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique (QHHT). Through her company, Awaken Past Life Regression, she supports women in exploring their inner landscape, releasing old patterns, and opening space for greater clarity and self-trust.

At this retreat, Gillian will guide you through gentle yet powerful practices that help release tension, restore harmony in the body, and create a deeper sense of connection to yourself. Whether through yoga, vibrational healing, meditation, or mindfulness, her approach is rooted in compassion, intuition, and spiritual alignment.

Gillian’s work invites you into a space of presence and reconnection, a space where profound renewal and self-discovery can unfold naturally.

Retreat Itinerary

Day 1
Arrive, Settle & Connect

As you check into your coastal retreat room, the sound of the ocean and the soft West Coast air invite you into a slower, more intentional rhythm one that supports rest, grounding, and a full-body exhale. Let this first afternoon be your transition into stillness. 

Take your time arriving by:

✔ Enjoying the resort’s spa amenities and oceanfront spaces
✔ Relaxing in the sauna or outdoor pools overlooking the shoreline
✔ Taking a peaceful walk along the water to reconnect with your breath and body
✔ Wandering through the Pacific Garden, a peaceful outdoor sanctuary with fountains, fireplaces, and cozy spaces for reflection

Sip on curated welcome drinks and light bites as you ease into the retreat energy. Settle into meaningful conversations, gentle connection, and the spaciousness that comes from finally allowing yourself to slow down.

Day 2
Renew & Reconnect

This day is devoted to deep renewal, personal reflection, and reconnecting with the parts of yourself that often get lost in the pace of daily life.

✔ Enjoy thoughtfully prepared meals designed to nourish and sustain you, paired with meaningful conversation and quiet moments of presence.

Step into nature for reflection, whether a walk by the ocean, time in the Pacific Garden, or a quiet moment with the sound of the waves. Let the landscape offer perspective and a sense of renewed possibility.

Close the evening with a gentle ritual or reflective experience designed to support integration, renewal, and a deeper connection to yourself.

Day 3
Integration & Inspired

As the retreat comes to a close, this final day is devoted to reflection, integration, and preparing to bring the clarity, steadiness, and renewal you’ve cultivated back into your everyday life.

✔ Begin your morning in quiet presence, welcoming the new day with gentle mindfulness and intention.

✔ Gather for a nourishing breakfast, sharing meaningful conversation and final moments of connection with the women you’ve journeyed alongside.

Flights and transportation to and from Kingfisher Oceanside Resort & Spa are not included in your retreat price.

Your Pacific Mist Hydropath® experience is included, but if you’d like to book additional spa treatments or personal services during your stay, those can be arranged at an additional cost and are highly encouraged if you want to elevate your wellness experience.

Yes! In fact we encourage it.

If you’d like to extend your stay at Kingfisher, you can request additional nights at checkout. We will check availability with the resort on your behalf. While extensions are usually possible, they are dependent on hotel availability at the time of request.

The closest airport is Comox Airport (YQQ) on Vancouver Island. It’s a small, easy-to-navigate airport located approximately 20 minutes from Kingfisher Oceanside Resort & Spa.

Car rentals and taxis are available at the airport, and the scenic drive to the resort is along the coastline.

Due to the exclusive nature of this retreat, all bookings are non-refundable. However, if you can no longer attend, your spot may be transferred to another guest (pending approval by Kingfisher).

A full packing list will be provided upon registration, but here are a few essentials:

✔ Comfortable clothing for yoga and movement
✔ Swimsuit for the Pacific Mist Hydropath® and pools
✔ Running or walking shoes for time outdoors
✔ Cozy loungewear
✔ A journal for reflection and personal growth sessions
✔ Any personal items that help you feel grounded and relaxed

There are 16 spots available for this retreat. We intentionally keep this experience small to preserve intimacy, personal connection, and a supportive environment for transformation.

If you’ve made it this far, there’s probably a reason.

Maybe you’re tired in a way you don’t talk about. Maybe you’ve been holding everything together for everyone else. Maybe a part of you knows you need a real break, not a weekend with a to-do list, but actual space to breathe and reset.

And if that’s true, I want you to know something: you’re not alone, and you don’t have to keep pushing through it. This retreat was created for women like you, women who give a lot, carry a lot, feel deeply, and rarely make time to step out of the noise and reconnect with themselves.

Kingfisher is the kind of place that meets you exactly where you are. It’s quiet. It’s calming. It gives you room to soften, settle, and remember what it feels like to feel well.

If something in you is pulling you toward this, trust that. You don’t need to justify it. You’re allowed to want rest, clarity, connection, or simply a few days where someone else holds the space so you don’t have to.
If this feels like what you need, even just a little, we’d love to have you with us.
