Rising Spirit Bed & Breakfast & Wellness

I enjoyed this retreat immensely hosted by the amazing Cynthia and Chris along with their healthy and delicious food. The massage chair was very enjoyable and the yoga was so enlightening. I cried tears of joy after releasing so much unhealthy tension. The most special experience was the signature massage and reiki Cynthia did on me. She is very knowledgeable and so intuitive which was very helpful to me.Go to this retreat and you will not be sorry!

This place is amazing!Living in the city, I crave a consistent state of balance but the noise, traffic and pollution often take me in the opposite direction.Recently I discovered the Rising Spirit BnB, nestled in the Oak Ridges Moraine, and it was an oasis where I felt completely disconnected and more perfect then I ever imagined possible.The 5 acre grounds are immaculate and so peaceful to walk. Every single thing that Cynthia has placed around it, is steeped with attention to detail: like the meditation teepee right in front of the pond where the birds are chirping and the pond life is so alive, and the mindfulness labyrinth which truly is a magical way to detach you from your racing mind, the outdoor yoga tent, the hammocks in the forest, and the hanging lounger at the side of the river, where you can sit and contemplate in peace.In fact, the whole space is about peace and privacy. Cynthia has a special rock painting option and I was so thrilled at finding the most beautiful stones all along the property with vibrant colors and inspirational sayings.I can’t say enough about this hidden gem… There is a sauna and a shiatsu massage chair, and a beautiful lounge in the main house where you can grab a drink and sit in a cocoon chair and read by the window.There’s something for everyone.And oh, did I mention, Cynthia is an incredible cook?? The breakfast, which included her home made granola, was sensational!And the best part is that it’s only an hour away from Toronto and is incredibly affordable!I really couldn’t have asked for anything better than Rising Spirit and Cynthia and her son, Chris are such gracious hosts.I will definitely be back and I will be spreading the word because this place is too good not to share.Thank you Cynthia and Chris for everything!

I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Rising Spirit Bed & Breakfast & Wellness. I had the opportunity to join 8 other women for a weekend retreat hosted by Cynthia, the owner and another beautiful lady Susan Young who combined, offered us a weekend of Mindfulness, Meditation and just BEING!! It was magical. The house itself was absolutely welcoming and all the bedrooms so tastefully decorated and cozy. The common area upstairs was like being in your own living room at home, so peaceful and relaxing. The food was out of this world, clean and fresh and so many different aromas would great us everyday. Chris did an exceptional job at making sure our tummy's were always full with wonderful healthy choices. I can't wait until my next visit!!!!!!!

I cannot say enough good things about my stay at Rising Spirit. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time their for yoga and wellness classes, massage and reiki, snowshoeing, forest bathing, cold water plunge, breath and sound bowl workshops, and most recently a weekend retreat entitled Cultivating Peace." The delicious and abundant food was prepared using fresh

It's a beautiful spot to relax & get away. The property is so peaceful. Places to gather & places to retreat to outside & inside. The rooms are spotless & the beds are so comfortable. Everything runs smoothly with hosts Cynthia & Chris who go above & beyond. We loved the massage chairs. Who knew such a thing existed! Thanks for a great night & a delicious breakfast. Check out all the activities available both on location & in the area.

All I can say is WOW. Spent a 1 night retreat with my sibling and every single moment was well spent. The added stressbuster and signature massages enhanced our experience to the 100th degree. Walking around the grounds of this space was like taking a deep breath of serenity...beautiful ponds, trees, river surrounding you. You have no choice but to take it in. The massage chairs were phenomenal! Cynthia and Chris were incredible gracious hosts. You can taste the love put into their incredible food and they were so accommodating to their guests. You can tell how much passion and love is put into this bed and breakfast retreat. Cannot wait to return!

My daughter and I enjoyed the stress buster day retreat and loved all of the experiences from gentle yoga, massage chairs, rock painting, a hot cleansing sauna, a tasty lunch and a refreshing dip in the little river. We also stayed the night in a lovely room with a walk out terrace. The spot is warm, inviting, a little mecca of peace and healing. Cynthia and Chris are gracious hosts and Cynthia’s reiki treatment is a must. The breakfast the next morning was delicious. We felt reenergized and we highly recommend a visit!

We had a wonderful time at Rising Spirit. Cynthia was a fantastic host, the food was delicious, the room was lovely, and bed was comfortable. But on top of an excellent B+B experience, there was so much more to do and explore on the property! We had fun watching salmon jump and swim in the river, loved wandering around in the forest, and enjoyed the ponds, labyrinth, and meditation tepee. The high end massage chairs in the spa building were a really nice offering as well. We found lots to do in the local area too, including wineries, breweries, golf, hiking, and some other neat tourist attractions. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing time away.

Rising Spirit Bed & Breakfast Retreat was an incredible and much needed experience for four of us. I cannot begin to tell you how well we were treated and how much we enjoyed all aspects of our stay. It was a truly exceptional time away from the complexities of everyday life. We highly recommend it for others looking to relax and be pampered. Thank you Cynthia and Chris. You are both a godsend.

Thank you Rising Spirit for an absolutely amazing retreat experience! The activities were very well planned. The lunch was FABULOUS! Everything about this location (both indoors and out) is both welcoming & relaxing. I highly recommend you check out all that they have to offer and book in as soon as you can!
