The property hosts private and group experiences combining guided breathwork, contrast therapy (sauna and cold plunge), and 3 km of private forest trails. Designed to help guests slow down, reconnect with themselves, and leave feeling genuinely renewed. The ethos of Rooted Woodland is not a spa in the conventional sense. There are no hotel amenities or treatment menus. Instead, Jodie has created a supported outdoor sanctuary where the forest itself is the healing agent: the canopy, the trails, the fire circle, and the sensory contrast of heat and cold work together as a therapeutic system. Workshops, intimate gatherings, and overnight stays are all offered, with every experience designed to move guests toward quiet, inward focus. The retreat has built a devoted following among guests from the Blue Mountain and greater Ontario region. Corporate teams seeking grounding team-building, friends marking milestones, and individuals committed to a regular nature practice. A core offering is the private group experience: a customised day in the forest with guided breathwork, sauna and cold plunge contrast, nourishing snacks, soothing tea, and time around the fire. ## What it is like - Forest sauna and cold plunge: The signature contrast therapy experience. Sauna heat and cold plunge in a 42-acre Blue Mountain forest, guided and fully supported by Jodie. - Guided breathwork in the forest: Jodie-led breathwork sessions using the forest environment as both setting and co-facilitator. Grounding, releasing, and resetting. - 3 km of private trails: Forty-two acres of Ontario forest accessed by private trails. Walked after contrast therapy, when the senses are most open. - Fire circle gathering: Every experience ends at the fire. Nourishing snacks, soothing tea, and the natural integration that comes from shared time in a wild place. - Private group customisation: Corporate teams, milestone celebrations, and retreat hosts use Rooted Woodland for fully customisable nature experiences. The forest is available exclusively for your group. ## Ways to stay - Private Breath | Cold Plunge | Sauna Session · Confirm at rootedwoodland.com · https://www.rootedwoodland.com/experiences - Private Group Forest Escape · Confirm at rootedwoodland.com · https://www.rootedwoodland.com/experiences - Retreat Hosting · Confirm at rootedwoodland.com · https://www.rootedwoodland.com/experiences ## Best seasons - Winter (December–March) for the full contrast therapy experience.
