The first time John Lambiris walked down the forest path at the future home of the River Valley Resilience Retreat (RVRR), he was taken aback by the calmness of the bush.
“It’s very peaceful and relaxing,” he said as he reached a small clearing on the dirt path that leads from a pasture to the banks of the North Saskatchewan River.
“There’s a calmness here that just allows you to be in the moment.”
