The Elements experience is nothing short of luxury camping in the great outdoors.

Elements was created to combine the four elements, earth, water, air, fire "to connect people with nature by providing unique spaces to relax, be invigorated, and be inspired". Guests can appreciate the beauty of the nature trails, lake, ravine, and lookout or make use of the firepits, paddle boards, paddle boats, covered meeting area, art studio and classes, and a gorgeous yoga studio.

Glamping at Elements leaves guests feeling grounded yet motivated and helps restore balance in an otherwise busy life. The perfect spot for a soul-searching experience or to just kick-back and let nature seep in, Elements Tented Camp and Nature Spa makes for a beautiful weekend getaway.

What do you do when life gives you lemons? Make Lemonade of course! And that we did! LEMONADE YOGA FEST was a success and will continue to grow and expand in years to come. That's right, this might have been the first but it certainly won't be the last. The City of Pembroke and White Pine Yoga have decided to make the Pembroke Marina Waterfront home to an annual yoga festival.

With the circumstances that sparked the impromptu yoga fest and market less than ideal, this is something HUGELY positive out of what was heading to be a terrible let down of a long weekend. Emerge Yoga Festival , set to be "Canada's Yoga Festival" was cancelled last minute leaving sponsors, vendors, musicians, ticket holders in the dust.

With the admirable grace and ingenuity of our friends, Pete and Shan of White Pine Yoga who created Lemonade Yoga Fest, we came together as a community and had an awesome day of FREE yoga classes, demos, and a vendor market. 

We can't wait for next year!

We stayed close to home this weekend and enjoyed the Canada Day 150 Celebrations in Deep River. The rain held out for most of the day until the skies opened up and dumped buckets of water on us. We had plenty of time to hand out samples and glasses of kombucha and loved seeing all the familiar faces out to partake in the fun. Check out the slideshow of the day from our perspective! A huge thanks to all the volunteers who made Canada Day in Deep River and awesome celebration.
