ELEMENTAL BEAUTY

DAY RETREAT AT SANCTUARIUM, SUTTON. QC

WITH KIMIKO TAO FUJIMOTO + NICOLE JONES

SATURDAY, AUGUST 22, 2026

THE BEAUTY WAY

A ceremonial day retreat to nourish your innate beauty with nature + community.

Be amongst sisters who want to shift the pervasive narratives around beauty and walk a different path rooted in presence, authenticity, and appreciation for life’s ever-changing unfoldment.

We invite you to rediscover the aliveness of your beauty in a sanctuary of rose-cacao rituals, somatic resets, intuitive play, and delicious food.

HONOUR

YOUR BODY

OF WISDOM

Our appearances will inevitably shift, change, and evolve throughout our lives.

Beauty is not found in resisting this natural unfolding.

Beauty is found in embracing it.

Our destiny isn’t to obsess over how we look, but to nurture the multi-dimensional layers of our being.

When we stop chasing impossible ideals, we create space to nourish what remains through every season of life —our true beauty.

NATURE YOUR ESSENCE

BEAUTY IS REVERENT

Inspired by the wisdom of living in harmony with oneself, others, and the natural world, we will circle together to converse tenderly and gently explore:

  • What is the nature of beauty?

  • How much energy do we give to external beauty?

  • Where do shame, judgment, comparison, societal expectations, and self-criticism live within us?

  • What becomes possible when we stop striving to be beautiful and simply allow ourselves to be beauty?

  • How can we center our beauty choices on inner alignment versus consumer manipulation?

FIVE ELEMENTS OF BEAUTY

  • SPACE

    Make space for beauty and reclaim the energy spent on external influences, approval ratings, and social media. Receive new perspectives and return power and time to yourself.

  • EARTH

    Explore, express, and embrace your full body beauty with self-acceptance, pleasure, intuitive movement, cathartic resets, and facial massages to cultivate confidence from within.

  • WATER

    Replenish and resource yourself with ceremonial rose & cacao elixirs. Eat wholesome food and hydrate your soul with floral waters and flower essences. Beauty flourishes in nourishment.

  • FIRE

    Amplify your courage to be seen, held, and heard in an alchemical container of silence, sharing, and honest conversation to transform the beliefs that have shaped our lives with fear, shame, and insecurity.

  • AIR

    Be immersed in the elements, walk the lands, forest-bathe, and absorb the fresh air. Draw upon the breath to listen deeply to your heart and connect to your core values and innate worth.

ELEMENTAL SISTERS

  • KIMIKO TAO FUJIMOTO

    Naturalist, Mystic, Flower Essences & Ritualist

    The Beauty Way is central to her work on the lands, serving as a ceremonial bridge between worlds and a community activator. She brings women together for collaborative, transformative experiences in nature and on pilgrimage. With over 20 years of teaching in the wellness public eye, Kimiko is interested in carving her own path and will speak candidly about overcoming spiritual burnout and the challenges of feeling innately beautiful as she matures into singlehood and perimenopause.

  • NICOLE JONES

    Mama, Guide, Ceremonialist and Maven at Maman Cacao

    Nicole has been working in the wellness industry for 20+ years but truthfully it was her own personal experiences that guided her to this sacred healing path. Life has brought her to her knees more times than she can count ~ but through each initiation she’s become stronger, more resilient and most importantly she has built a more loving relationship with herself. She loves to inspire others to “Honour Your Goldprint.”   In honouring her unique Goldprint™️ she hopes to inspire others to do the same.

  • JODI BERKSON

    Mama, Pilates Teacher & Passionate foodie

    I’m a proud 58yr old single mother of two amazing women, with over 20 years of experience in the food industry and the past three years dedicated to teaching Pilates. Throughout my journey, I’ve learned that some of life’s greatest gifts come from connection, growth, and sharing what we’ve learned with others. Helping people feel stronger, healthier, and more confident is what inspires me every day. Excited to share some nutritious food and good conversation together on this Beauty-ful retreat.
