Lara Patriquin, MD
With a deep love for the outdoors and a passion for fostering authentic connections, I design retreats that create space for teams to grow, reflect, and reconnect—both with nature and with each other.
Drawing from my experience in mindfulness and transformative inquiry, I guide participants through transformative experiences that go beyond traditional team-building, helping them set aside defenses and engage in meaningful self-discovery.
Whether hiking through the wilderness, sharing stories around a fire, or sitting in quiet reflection by a river, these retreats cultivate trust, resilience, and a shared sense of purpose. Nature serves as both a teacher and a mirror, reminding us of our strength, adaptability, and interconnectedness—qualities that empower teams long after the retreat ends.
What to expect
Immerse. Connect. Transform.
Step away from daily pressures and reconnect with yourself, your team, and nature. My retreats foster self-discovery, authentic connection, and lasting transformation through guided reflection, outdoor experiences, and open dialogue. Whether a weekend immersion or a multi-day retreat, you’ll leave with practical tools, renewed purpose, and stronger bonds.
