We invite you to make pilgrimage this summer to the Avalon Retreat Centre (ARC), a sacred site located in the stunning Madawaska Valley. Deepen your connection to the natural world as you align to the heart of the Earth Mother. All traditions are honoured and celebrated in our empowering retreats, facilitated by teacher and Medicine Person, Gaisheda Kheawok.

ARC also provides a fun, safe and one-of-a-kind summer experience for children and youth. Our foundation of Tribal Teachings promotes life skills that build confidence, leadership, honour, and respect for our youth as they participate in wilderness exploration, drumming, singing, water sport and arts and crafts.
