Joyful Living!
A four-day Happy Pear retreat at 42 Acres to unplug, reconnect, and remember what it feels like to be fully human. Through wild nature, soul-nourishing food, and true community, we invite you to step off the treadmill of modern life, slow down, and rediscover your natural state of joy. You will leave with a remarkable feeling of vitality that emerges when you incorporate more whole plant foods and deep connections into your life.
Food is one of the beating hearts of this retreat. In our hands-on cooking masterclasses, there is zero preaching about dietary perfection. Instead, we focus on helping you simply “Eat More Veg!” in a way that feels easy, accessible, and fun. We see food as one of the greatest opportunities to reconnect with our beautiful humanness.
A Retreat to Remember What It Feels Like to Be Alive.
In a world that constantly tells us to do more, buy more, and be more, it’s incredibly easy to lose touch with the simple things that actually make us happy. We spend our days staring at screens, rushing through life, and forgetting the immense joy of simply being alive.
We invite you to step out of the daily grind and step into Joyful Living!.
Hosted by Dave and Stephen Flynn of The Happy Pear alongside the pioneering team at 42 Acres, this is not a restrictive bootcamp or a lecture on dietary perfection. This is a four-day celebration of what it means to be fully human.
Together, we will nourish our bodies with award-winning, soil-to-gut plant-based meals grown right on this sacred land. We will move our bodies, laugh until our bellies ache, and remember that true health is found in community, nature, and the simple magic of the present moment.
Come as you are – vulnerabilities, messy bits, and all. Let’s slow down, look after ourselves, and find our natural state of joy.
Some of the 4 days activities will include
- Soil-to-Gut Cooking Masterclasses by Dave & Steve: Fun, interactive, and completely non-preachy demos where we learn to make delicious, high-vibe whole foods.
- Beaver-Lake Swimrises: Greet the morning sun with an invigorating dip in the wild, beaver-filled lake to make your spirit soar. Let the water strip away life’s worries and allow a child-like wonder to emerge.
- Forest Glade Saunas: Sweat out life’s worries in the wood-fired wild sauna nestled deep in the oak trees.
- Wild Dining (Fire Cook): An unforgettable dining experience beneath the forest canopy, eating food cooked over an open flame.
- Yoga, Movement & Breathwork: Glorious movement flows, breathworka and yoga to help regulate our nervous system and reconnect to the joy in our bodies.
- Therapeutic Tea Picking: Gathering wild herbs when the summer sun is at its peak to blend our own healing teas.
- Cacao Circles & Fireside Chats: Stripping away life’s armor to share stories, songs, and laughter around the campfire.
- The Woodland Disco: Letting go of our inhibitions and dancing together under the stars.

As this is a true summer celebration you’ll notice we have expanded the retreat size from our usual numbers so that we can all come together & celebrate in style.
Please Note:
This retreat is curated as an adults-only space to allow for deep rest, reflection, and connection.
This is a conscious, sober celebration, and we’ll be honouring the experience alcohol- and drug- free
