A giant sunspot that has been ongoing for a week, has been delighting late night skywatchers near Algonquin Park, (and further afield) with a wonderful green aurora from time to time. The shimmering night light occassionally shooting 60 degrees hight on the horizon. Hopefully it will continue to delight over the next week [...]
Adventure and relaxation, active and reflective, nourishing and memorable. Quest for Balance this weekend at the edge. This morning the sun came up and the fog rose off the lake revealing a remarkable day of sunshine and cool breezes. The day just had to start with some yoga and chi gung on the beach, followed [...]

The colourful kayaks line the beach in preparation for guests who will learn to paddle. It seems [...]
