She will be cooking you 6 different meals that are promised to nourish your body and your belly. Her cuisine encompasses international cooking from across the world, as well as specialty diets including vegetarian, vegan, & gluten-free.

Nicola uses Yin-Yang principles of balance, as well as the latest scientific findings, in lovingly preparing your meals that are not only appealing to the eye and palate, but healing for the body. Many guests come mainly for the food! (Yes it is that good!!)

Accommodations
Buffer yourself from the everyday world of noise, pollution, traffic and stress as you spend the weekend away up north, sheltered safely with other like-minded individuals.
Harmony Dawn was built in 2003 and it was custom designed as a green retreat center, using the most sustainable energy technology available. In fact, it was voted one of the greenest buildings in Canada. It is a 3 story off grid cottage that is nestled into a hill top overlooking Rice Lake, surrounded by 50 acres of rolling meadows and healing forest, which lead to a swimming-friendly lake.
