Welcome to Ontario's Ecological Friendly Retreat This beautiful off-grid centre is located on Rice Lake just 90 minutes northeast of Toronto in Northumberland County. Unique in its vision and design, it was constructed to inspire harmony, balance and transformation in both the "external" and "internal" (within yourself) environment, making it ideal for healing and transformative retreats and workshops.	Book Store		Nicola & Andy's book is here!! Eco Harmony Dawn Cooking: Balancing your internal and external Environments delivers not only more sumptuous recipes but practical advice on how we can live our individual lives more in harmony (click on book cover to order)

Fengshui, the ancient Chinese art of placement, has been used to create a noted sense of tranquility and harmonious flow within the retreat building, which is cozily nestled into a hillside and surrounded by meadows and woodland. Solar and wind power as well as other sustainable energy technologies enable it to be independent of outside utilities and away from public roads. The building itself gives guests a rare opportunity to experience firsthand the living conditions and possibilities of a ”cleaner, “greener” future. Harmony Dawn is recognized as one of Canada’s most complete sustainable energy buildings.

All of this makes Harmony Dawn an ideal retreat for those seeking to escape urban stress, pollution and noise and do inner, regenerative and transformational work. Harmony Dawn and its food have drawn rave reviews from a diverse variety of client groups – yoga, meditation, Tai Chi, Qigong, energy work, psychotherapy, drama, art and more. Our enthusiastic clients have also included corporate groups, universities and families getting away together.

We are open year round. Our 50 rolling acres of meadows and woods offer a variety of walks (or ski trails) and places to linger. A 10 minute walk through secluded woods will take you down to Rice Lake (part of the picturesque Trent Waterway system) where you can swim and where a nearby resort offers boating and fishing.

Get away from the madding crowd only 90 minutes from Toronto! Enjoy great Innovative and Acclaimed Spa Cuisine with a choice of menus at very reasonable rates. You can book a variety of high-quality, associated therapists and teachers for your own custom-designed retreat!

“A Message from your Hosts” “Our vision for Harmony Dawn was twofold. We wanted to create an environment to enhance healing, creativity and self-transformation –  which we achieved through Fengshui, wholesome food, and eco-friendly construction and power systems. Further, we wanted to show that cleaner, greener technology works and give guests the experience firsthand!"” ~ Andy James & Nicola Lawrence
