Tatamagouche Centre is located on the sacred gathering place used for thousands of years by the M’ikmaq.
This beautiful venue sits on 15 acres of rolling lawns, flower gardens, and huge oak and linden trees on kilometres of Trans-Canada trails and the junction of Tatamagouche Bay, the Waugh and French River. The area remains unceded and unsurrendered land.
We’ll gather in the The Sanctuary to listen and learn and we will enjoy tasty, nutritious meals in the dining room.
Sufficient time will be allowed for individual reflection and community conversation.
Enjoy the trails, natural space and this opportunity to become kin.
$375/pp (Early Bird) | $425/pp (after October st)
This fee includes accommodations, linens, all meals, facility use, retreat experience.
