Immersive Wellness Tours For Professionals Ready for a Reset

Nature-based Vancouver Island retreats, designed to help you turn inward, gain clarity, and begin your next chapter with intention.

Limited to only 2 tours in 2026 of 4 participants each.

Where the Map Ends, You Begin

You’ve built a full life—professionally, personally, and in showing up for others.
But lately, something in you is stirring.
Not a drive for more, but a longing for meaning.

Passages of 125°West is an intimate, high-touch travel experience designed for people standing at a threshold who are ready to reflect, realign, and move forward with intention.

Part guided inner work, part deep immersion in the wild beauty of Vancouver Island, this journey offers more than escape…it offers a reset.

You’ll step out of the noise, slow down, and listen for what’s been quietly waiting beneath the surface.

This isn’t a retreat from life. It’s a return to your self.
Guided. Grounded. And ready for what’s next.

Voices From The Meridian

  • “After twenty-five years in corporate life and raising an amazing family, it was time for a reset. I discovered an inner self that was knocking to come out with a beautiful clarity and a transcending peace beyond words.”

    — Francis P., Co-founder, Tech Startup

  • “An unforgettable experience that awakened a profound connection to my inner self, my partner, and the raw beauty of nature — one made possible by the gentle wisdom and guidance shared throughout.”

    — Matthew R., Consultant & Dog Owner, Toronto

  • "I didn’t come on this trip searching for a breakthrough. I just knew I needed space—real space, not just time off. I wanted to hear myself think again, without the noise. What I didn’t expect was how powerful quiet could be. The ocean, the trees, the people… it helped me see where I was holding too tightly, and where I wanted to soften. I left feeling more like myself—and ready for whatever comes next."
    — Jonathan M., Business Owner, Father of Two

  • "I’ve spent decades taking care of everything and everyone else. This was the first time I let someone else take care of me—meals, plans, everything. The gift was the space to slow down, breathe, and feel into parts of myself I’d forgotten. I didn’t know how much I needed that. It was simple, beautiful, and quietly life-changing."
    — Priya K., Executive Director, Toronto

  • "We weren’t in crisis. But we had stopped talking about anything that really mattered. This trip gave us a way back to that—without pressure or performance. Just time, space, and nature doing its thing. We left with a deeper sense of ease, both with each other and within ourselves."
    — Mark and Alyssa R., Couple, Mid-50s, Parents of Four
