Introducing

Winterwell

Keep Well Through Winter...

Curate your own self – care experience and Immerse yourself for 3 Days of Wellness in the Mountains. Feel the crisp cool air on your cheeks as you venture outside for one of our outdoor meditations, or cozy up with a hot cup of tea as your listen in on an expert chat.

This festival has been inspired both by the beauty of Banff in the winter time, and by the acknowledgement of the trials and tribulations of the winter time. Banff dwellers have always embraced winter and the cold. It is a time to get outside, which and make your indoor time more indulgent, more nourishing.

This experience will play off hot and cold, the polarities or the two, both mind, body and spirit.

With seasonal depression at an all time high, we felt compelled to bring you something new, inspired by the energy and enthusiasm that the mountain dweller brings to winter. Our goal is to get our participants embracing the yin/yang energy of the winter time, and to embrace and even look forward to the wonderfully introspective, restorative, and even recluse winters.

Bring your cozy socks, some winter layers, and your favourite travel mug. <3

The Experience

What to Expect

Unlike our spring festival, this one will be slower moving. Expect some of the more indulgent, slower classes, expect winter outdoor movement, and a more introspective time.

Similarly to the festival we have built our reputation on, expect more talks, cooking classes, deepen your practice with yoga workshops focused on specific topics and poses, be serenaded by signing bowls, learn about organic wines, sip on mushroom elixirs, or meditate in the mountains.

Our Location

The Rocky Mountain Resort & Other Outlet Locations

Most of the weekend will take place at the Rocky Mountain Resort, however we will be including other key destinations to ensure you are getting both a retreat like experience, and experiencing the energy of our Mountain Town. Our event will also take you into the mountains, to historical spaces, and to significant places in Banff that could be considered “hidden gems”.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Do I Sign Up?

The first step is to secure your spot by purchasing a ticket. Following this, you will receive a link to create your schedule when the schedule is released. Here, you will sign up for sessions and plan your weekend. You will also be given the option to set up a call to have one of our agents help you, should you have questions.

Once you have purchased a ticket, you will be given the option to book one of our onsite hotels. We have arranged for special rates at some of our favourite hotels that are nearest to our sessions and venues. We have arranged multiple hotels with a variety of experiences from Luxury to budget.

What kind of sessions will be offered?

We will be offering movement classes where you generate heat in the body with yoga classes and workshops, as well as more restorative classes that help calm the nervous system. We will have creative sessions, fireside talks, and outdoor sessions bringing you into the cold, amongst the trees and the rockies. Our intention with this festival is to embrace the colder months, the restorative nature of winter, and playing off the “Hot” & “Cold” polarities. Except to drink tea, to sweat, and to relax!

What if sessions are full?

We limit our sessions to a certain capacity to ensure everyone has a quality experience. However, the reality of the weekend is that our guests change and switch up their schedule until the minutes before the sessions take place. Therefor, it is highly recommended that you still sign up for the class. You will then be added to the waitlist and notified when the spot frees up. We are also tracking waitlists and adding more of the popular sessions to ensure everyone gets to experience the sessions they want to.

It is seldom that our participants don’t get to attend what they want. That said, this is why it is helpful to purchase your tickets early.

Are the tickets refundable?

No, the tickets are not refundable. They are exchangeable only. If you would like your tickets to be refundable, you may purchase ticket insurance. Please read through the policy thoroughly, so you can ensure you have all the items you need to be refunded in a timely manner.

What is Early Bird Pricing?

The Early Bird Registration enables a discount incentive for our guests to book early, even before our official schedule is released. The benefit is that Early Bird Registrants will recieve the schedule in their inbox before it is released to the public. We highly encourage this to ensure registrants they can attend their top choices.

Can men attend the festival?

Absolutely! Our festival is an inclusive and quality event for everyone!

My daughter is 15, can she attend?

She sure can with a guardian! Also, when purchasing a ticket, you will need a revised waiver for her.
