Eight years… to think it was only eight years ago that Sandra and I met for the first time, in a little coffee shop in Barrie, Ontario. Little did we know, that day would change our lives.

Since then, it’s been amazing to see what love, determination, and teamwork can do. Alive Wilderness Retreat was born on this foundation. Built from our passion to empower people, this place that we dreamt up has become a beautiful reality, and we are proud to share it with you.
 

We strive to bring out the best in people by providing a peaceful environment to strengthen bonds between couples and friends. We believe in the importance of taking a moment to pause, reassess what matters most, set priorities straight, and bond in nature to feel Alive again!
