"Thank you Hollyhock staff, board, bodyworkers, gardeners, COOKS, guests. Thank you, beach, hot tubs, earth, sky, sea, thundering winds, dancing trees. Thank you, whoever designs all of Hollyhock with equal parts thoughtfulness, sustainability, functionality, and beauty." What better way to introduce this offering of a weekend at Hollyhock than with these words of gratitude from a former guest. It appears they were particularly fond of the food!

Situated on Canada's west cost at the mouth of Desolation Sound on Cortes Island Hollyhock guests are invited to "do everything or absolutely nothing".  You can relax at your own pace, in your own way, as you and a friend settle in to enjoy all that Hollyhock has to offer.

Hollyhock's staff instructors are on hand and available by appointment to provide everything from all-level morning yoga classes to bodywork. You might also head outdoors and enjoy the area by kayak or hiking trail. Hollyhock's temperate rainforest setting abounds with lush foliage and wildlife. Enjoy delicious organic, gourmet meals, presenter evenings and soaks in the Hollyhock hot tubs with their ocean views, breathing in the fresh, clean air.

Hollyhock is an educational retreat centre and centre of learning and connection dedicated to inspiring, nourishing and supporting people who are making the world better. The center is about 100 miles north of Vancouver.
