I think the essence of Rewild and Renew is really about finding yourself — your energy, your well-being. For someone like me who’s always busy, it can be a challenge to slow down and reconnect. Coming here with my wife, our friends, and Dr. Dundas has been such a grounding experience.

Before arriving, life was hectic. We had a snowstorm in Calgary right before the trip, and getting here was a bit of an adventure. But once we settled in, everything started to shift. The first night’s welcome barbecue, the horseback ride, and the group equine session yesterday — as someone who’s not a “horse person,” it was incredible. You feel revived, energized, and connected — not just with the horses, but with the people around you. That sense of community is really special.

Dr. Kathryn has done an amazing job with this retreat. It’s so well organized, and we’re learning so much — especially through the longevity sessions. As someone who probably doesn’t prioritize my health as much as I should, I’ve really appreciated her practical tips and strategies for managing energy, stress, and overall wellness.

It’s been an inspiring and rejuvenating experience.
