Embrace Nature, Ignite Spirituality, Discover Harmony

Your Journey Begins Here

We honour the ancestral grounds of Newfoundland and Labrador - home to the Beothuk, Mi’kmaq, Inuit, and Innu peoples. In the spirit of truth and reconciliation, we commit to being stewards of this land, respecting the cultures and traditions that flourish here. Together, we cherish the past, embrace the present, and cultivate a future for all generations to come. People Of The Sun by Ian Goudie link here

Nestled in the ‘Fog Forest’ of St. Mary’s Bay in southeastern Newfoundland, The Tree of Life Eco-Retreat Centre overlooks the primeval forests of Salmonier River Valley. Founded in 2004 by Ian Goudie and Meranda Squires, the ecolodge & retreat centre has been supporting self-discovery, sustainability, and harmony with Nature.

At The Tree of Life, we embrace the ancient wisdom of Nature, use natural building techniques & designs of sacred geometry, and encourage a deep connection between our guests and the natural world. Our eco-lodge and retreat centre is a testament to our commitment to off-the-grid living, organic gardening, self-sufficiency and the support of spiritual practices.
