100 Days of Care Autumn 2025
with Heather Fenton
Step into 100 Days of Care, a freely offered at-home meditation retreat that gently weaves self-compassion and mindfulness into your daily rhythm. Together, we’ll explore the ten far-reaching attitudes of Buddhism, supported by weekly Zoom gatherings, shared reflection, and the steady encouragement of community.
The "Hut"
Situated on a quiet country road, surrounded by organically farmed land, steps from the walking/cycling “Friendship Trail” and a kilometre from the sandy shores of Lake Erie, Stream offers a unique setting for yoga and meditation.
The “Hut” at Stream (as we affectionately call it) is an expression of our wish to benefit living beings by creating a sacred space for the exploration of yogic, contemplative and human well-being practices of body and mind.
Series at Stream
Our 6-week Series provide you with the opportunity to practice consistently with a group of peers, while deepening your knowledge of the practices of yoga and meditation. All of our classes, including Series, are open to pre-booked drop-in using a Class Pass or Membership.

Resting in Compassion | Sep 20
with Heather Fenton and Arlene Dezenosky
Compassion steadies and protects the heart. When we truly rest in compassion, we discover a refuge — a soft yet resilient presence that neither turns away from suffering nor is overwhelmed by it. In this resting, we cultivate the courage to meet life with openness, patience, and care.
Clarity + Calm | Sep 21
with Nicki Lumsden
Refresh yourself. This unique experience weaves together energizing breathwork, an optional cold plunge to awaken your senses, and a calming sound bath to soothe and restore. Step in… and step out renewed.
Unburden Your Shoulders | Sep 27 + Oct 4
with Arlene Dezenosky
Our shoulders often hold what our hearts cannot—stress, tension, emotions, and the invisible weight of responsibility. This special two-hour workshop is an invitation to lay that weight down and reconnect with lightness.
Breath of Bhakti Workshop | Sept 28
with Shell Andréa and Anton Aguiar
Breath of Bhakti is designed to introduce participants to the essence of living and breathing Bhakti Yoga — the path of faith, trust and love. Through discussion, storytelling, and reflection, we will explore how Bhakti can be (and already is) woven into daily life, making it accessible to anyone, regardless of background, lifestyle or abilities.
Together in Bhakti Kirtan | Sept 28
with Divine Resonance, Shell Andréa and Anton Aguiar
Join us for a heart-opening afternoon of Bhakti Kirtan — the joyful practice of call-and-response chanting — led by two great Canadian Kirtan groups: Divine Resonance (Ontario) and Shell Andréa (visiting from Manitoba). Set in the acoustic beauty of the Hut at Stream, this collaborative event invites you to sing, sway, or simply soak in the vibration.
In Sight of the Other Shore | October 3-8, 2025
with Heather Fenton and Julie (Jaya) Boyse
Join us this October for a 6-day silent insight meditation retreat.
Step out of the noise of daily life and settle into stillness. In the quiet rhythm of retreat, we’ll steady the heart and mind, and begin to see more clearly into the nature of things—the deep understanding that all things arise in dependence, are without fixed identity, and need not be clung to.
Sound Meditation | Oct 3
with Nicki Lumsden
Surrender and rest yourself in a soundscape shaped by the resonance of crystal singing bowls and the subtle chime of bamboo koshi bells. Allow gentle layers of vibration to carry you inward, softening the mind and creating space for ease, clarity, and relaxation.
A Quiet Mind Satsang | Oct 12
with Lori, Michael and Heather
Come explore with us—through shared silence, honest conversation, and the simple act of being present together.
Satsang is a Sanskrit word meaning “a gathering in truth” or “being in the company of truth.”
