Posted on JENNA BROOKESTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My group of 10 friends stayed at the dOMe retreat for almost a week and we had the most beautiful stay — a perfect space for connection, relaxation, and grounding. This was our third year returning, and I’m already so excited to go back next year! We were there for a friends reunion so Shelia made sure the whole experience was centered around friendship, and it truly delivered on that theme in the most heartfelt way. One of the many highlights of our stay was the sound bath session held inside the dome. It was incredibly calming. It allowed each of us to reconnect—not just with ourselves, but with each other. It was the kind of experience that stays with you long after it’s over. What made it even more special was the care and kindness of the host, Shelia. She made us the most delicious and nourishing noodle bowls for us, made with fresh veggies straight from her garden. A noodle bowl that I wish I could have everyday! For our other meals during our time here we loved cooking at the outdoor kitchen. There’s nothing like grilling up some sausages while enjoying the beautiful view of the willow trees at sunset! We also took advantage of the location and stopped in at some local shops & went on beautiful hikes nearby! If you’re looking for a retreat that brings people together in an intentional, healing environment, this is the place. We left feeling lighter, closer, and deeply grateful! Thank you Shelia for going above and beyond for our stay!Posted on Chloë ZummachTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our stay at the dOMe retreat in Braeside was hands down the most serene weekend of the summer! The property is picturesque—tucked away in nature, yet still close to Ottawa and the beautiful Madawaska River. I’ve visited three times now, each with updated and new additions which are a must-see! The space is spotless, thoughtfully maintained, and perfect for groups of all sizes. We visited as a group of 10 and had more than enough room to enjoy ourselves comfortably. From the peaceful surroundings, the Sound Bath experience, to the unique charm of the retreat, everything exceeded expectations. A true hidden gem— we’ll be back again, Sheila!Posted on William EdwardsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an amazing time at the dome with friends. She treated us to delicious noodle bowls, and afterward, we relaxed with a peaceful sound bath. Her kind words about friendship made us appreciate one another even more. Thank you for the food, the warmth, and your generous hospitality—it truly meant a lot.Posted on Davanya HartwigTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I stayed at the dOME retreat with 9 of my friends last week and loved every second of it! Sheila set everything up beautifully and really made the experience special for us. We got to experience a sound bath where she touched on being present and cherishing these special moments together as long distance friends. I left the sound bath feeling calm and truly grateful for everyone around me. All of the facilities on the property made it really easy for us to enjoy our time together. Besides the dome, we really loved the outdoor kitchen area, the Himalayan salt sauna, fire pit and the forest room. I also need to extend an extra special thank you to Sheila for thoughtfully curating an amazingly fresh noodle bowl for us to enjoy on one of the nights of our stay. After our week away, I truly felt like everyone left the dOMe retreat feeling reset. I am forever grateful for the experience together away from the distractions of day to day life. We will definitely be back!Posted on Dora BoukourisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A magical and freeing experience. Sheila is a blessing.Posted on Riri RoyaltonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been dealing with a few fears that had to do with being outside. Sheila was so kind to put together a 3 hour retreat for me to I allow me to feel into my fears and heal them. From the moment I stepped out of the car - Sheila welcomed me with her beautiful energy and we started the journey walking through a beautiful forest. With intention and love, she walked by my side while speaking positive affirmations to allow me to feel safe. As soon as we walked through the forest / the journey of Alice and wonderland started (that’s how I felt) my inner child was free to explore all the beautiful instruments in the yard as well as appreciating the beauty of her willow trees. As we entered the dome, you can tell Sheila was up early creating a beautiful space for me to feel welcomed. She guided me into candle meditation and then brought me outside to have a sound bath for my feet. She collected such beautiful natural remedies - as well had created a space for peace and love. From tea time and chai- to a very therapeutic hot stone massage. Every detail was created with intention, love and compassion. I even faced my fears and walked barefoot on the grass. I highly recommend booking a full 3 hours with Sheila! She is such a gift to us all: thank you for your love, your presence, your energy, your healing and your soulship! I am so grateful I found you! I can’t wait to book time in your beautiful wonderful soon! Lots of love - RimaPosted on Blake van den HeuvelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If you’re searching for a sanctuary to regroup and reset your spirit, look no further—this is the place for you. I have attended numerous events and had several one-on-one sessions with Sheila, and I can confidently say that each experience leaves me feeling lighter and more in tune with my centered, soulful self. The transformative energy of the Dome Retreat is palpable, and I am so grateful that it’s located nearby. It has truly become a haven for my personal growth and spiritual rejuvenation. Sheila is a blessing in my life.Posted on A. SchafferTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've had a group and a private sound bath experience at the dome. The group experience was sponsored by my employer. I didn't know the other participants, and I had a personal and meaningful experience. I decided to go back with my children for a private sound bath experience. I briefly chatted with Sheila about what I was looking for and she really took it from there and made it personal to us and memorable. I appreciate Sheila's open and authentic presence, her responsiveness, and her pace. The space is truly unique and hospitable. I previously haven't engaged with Reiki spirituality or energy healing. I feel happily surprised at how deeply medicinal the 2 experiences I've had were for me. My children, 11 and 9, also had meaningful experiences and look forward to going back.
