What our Guests are saying

I had been processing a lot of trauma and needed somewhere peaceful and safe to unplug and "recalibrate".

I chose this retreat because I liked the setting and the accomodations in the photos. As far as the program offered, I liked that there were various activities to do but very little that was mandatory. I would be able to pick and choose how I spent a good portion of my time. I wanted the options of socializing or spending alone time according to my needs in the moment. I also liked that it was "trauma informed". I would have gone anyway but that was a big bonus for me.

The hosts were amazing. I was a little taken aback in the beginning there would he a man present but I very quickly felt comfortable with him. (So ladies if you have any discomfort around men ...... this one will help bring back "some faith" 😉) And Aneeta! Love her to bits! Wonderful, kind and gentle energy. If you are looking for the type of thing I was looking for this is the place to go for sure!

There had been some things in particular I had been struggling with and this place gave me the atmosphere to be able to access the things in my subconscious I had been trying to access. I have had two weeks of powerful insights since this retreat! (course I AM retired so I was able to put all my focus on the "after processing" that goes on after spiritual retreat for me without distraction 😉)

Get Calm provided me what I was looking for - a quiet, peaceful, comfortable place where I could slow down, reset, and connect my mind with body. With Aneeta’s help - I did just this.

Guided wellness sessions were programmed as part of my stay, along with snacks and meals, and acres of farmland to explore. I loved sitting by the Otonabee River and gently let go of my stress. Conrad maintains the grounds so beautifully to give the feel of a 5-star glamping resort! I’ll be back…with friends! I highly recommend - do yourself a favour, go! 

We were truly amazed by the entire experience, especially by the warm hospitality of our hosts, Conrad and Aneeta. They were incredibly accommodating and made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived.

The place was exactly what we had hoped for—beautiful, peaceful, and everything we expected. On our first day, Conrad immediately showed us around the accommodation and the entire 110-acre property via ATV. He drove us through the trails, outdoor kitchen, shower room, charging room, common area, the lake, and more.

The following day, we enjoyed an hour of kayaking, followed by a relaxing forest trail walk to the lavender farm. We also had a rejuvenating yoga session, breathing exercises, and a calming sound healing experience that made the stay even more special. Later, we enjoyed the sauna and spent the evening around a lovely bonfire with the hosts’ family, sharing great conversations before having a restful night’s sleep.

The next morning, before we headed home, they prepared complimentary coffee for us. It was truly an unforgettable and wonderful experience from start to finish—perfect for anyone looking to relax, recharge, and reconnect with nature. Highly recommended! 

I needed a break from work and the city. I practice meditation and yoga regularly but I came with no specific expectation. I was welcomed as I would be at a friend's. As long as you come ready to stop and rest, willing to look inwards with curiosity and an open heart for the experience, you will have a great time. Aneeta structures the weekend around yoga and meditation sessions. The format is very flexible and adapts to your needs. Overall worth every penny... and the trip. Looking forward to go back. 

From the moment I stepped onto my mat, surrounded by the serene beauty of nature, I knew this was going to be something special.

Sitting in stillness, eyes closed, I tuned into the sounds of chirping birds and distant rustling trees. The guided meditation from Aneeta, the instructor at Get Calm, helped me drop into a state of peace I haven’t felt in ages. It was as if time slowed down, and for those precious moments, my mind was completely at ease.

The yoga session was the perfect balance of gentle movement and mindful stretching, guiding me into a state of deep relaxation. Aneeta’s voice was so soothing, effortlessly leading me through each pose while encouraging me to connect with my breath. I could feel every bit of tension melting away as the sun warmed my skin and a soft breeze rustled the leaves around me.

What truly made this experience unforgettable was the harmony between the practice and nature. Whether it was the scent of fresh grass, the warmth of sunlight filtering through the trees, or the grounding sensation of earth beneath me, every element worked together to create pure tranquility.

If you’re looking for a way to reset, recharge, and reconnect—with yourself and the world around you—Get Calm is an absolute must. Today was a reminder of how beautiful life can be when we slow down and just breathe.

Thank you, Get Calm, for this soul-nourishing experience! 🙏✨ 

I wanted to deepen my yoga and meditation practice and gain more confidence to integrate into private practice. Perfect distance, price, accommodation, food and the overall program content and presentation were great. Aneeta and Conrad were warm and welcoming. I was burnout and left revived and refreshed. I left revived, refreshed, and rested

Aneeta is calm and gentle in her presentation. I loved the variety she puts into the program and the pacing. 

Aneeta and Conrad are working hard at creating a special space for visitors like me at Calm. I felt privileged to spend time in a peaceful, relaxing environment where I was able to choose what felt right for me at the moment. I enjoyed the privacy of my yurt, the kayaking, wood-fired sauna, even the nature walks with its bugs! I saw deer nearby while there too. Yoga and meditation sessions were gently folded in amongst the other activities and the food is tailored to your needs. Very tasty too I might add! I wish them well as their piece of paradise continues to evolve. 

I've had at least 6 group sessions with Aneeta over the last year+ and each was a hit for my guests. She customized each session to the group needs and has talents across many styles of yoga. Aneeta is sensitive to mobility issues and injuries and easily adapts throughout the session as needed. The sauna in the forest after yoga is a treat.

Aneeta ran sessions in my house then I was happy to be included in a group retreat she offered in her new personal studio. The retreat included a nature component, art, sensory and relaxation. It was a great way to spend 5 hours on a weekend with friends.

Doesn't matter if you're a beginner to yoga or experienced, Aneeta is able to manage it all with panache. 

Get Calm is more than a yoga retreat—it’s a sanctuary for the soul.

From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped by nature’s beauty: lush green trees, sunbeams spilling through the forest canopy, and an undeniable stillness that invites you to breathe a little deeper. The surroundings alone are healing, but what truly makes this place special is the people.

I was first welcomed by Conrad, who immediately made me feel at home as he showed me around the peaceful and expansive property. Shortly after, Aneeta joined us and continued the tour, gently introducing me to the space before guiding me into our yoga session.

Aneeta took the time to ask about my yoga preferences and tailored the session with such presence and intention. Her voice, her words, her energy—everything about her guidance made it feel like my body was unwinding and my spirit was softening. By the end, I felt as though the stress I’d been carrying had finally lifted.

The property is absolutely breathtaking—with lavender fields, forest trails, and a serene dock perfect for swimming or simply sitting in stillness. Every corner invites you to slow down and reconnect.

Both Aneeta and Conrad radiate kindness, calm, and a genuine passion for what they do. Their energy is woven into every part of Get Calm, creating a space that feels safe, warm, and truly healing.

Whether you’re seeking rest, reconnection, or just a breath of fresh air in every sense of the word, I can’t recommend Get Calm enough. It’s a gift to the heart. 

The session was beautifully organized, blending expert-led yoga and meditation with the serene embrace of nature.

Highlights of My Experience
Expert Guidance: The instructor, Aneeta, was knowledgeable and supportive, creating a welcoming space for all skill levels.

Mindful Yoga: The flow was both invigorating and restorative, helping me release tension and reconnect with my body.

Deep Meditation: Guided meditation allowed me to quiet my mind and find a sense of inner peace I haven’t felt in ages.

Nature’s Beauty: Practicing outdoors, surrounded by lush greenery, birdsong, and fresh air, elevated the entire experience. The natural setting made every breath feel more meaningful and every moment more grounding.

Lasting Calm: By the end of the session, I felt completely refreshed—calm, centered, and deeply grateful for the opportunity to disconnect from stress and reconnect with myself.

If you’re looking for a way to unwind, recharge, and experience the healing power of nature, I can’t recommend this experience highly enough. I left with a renewed sense of calm and a genuine appreciation for the beauty around and within me. 

I really enjoyed the retreat at Get Calm Lavender Farm.

It's so peaceful there, and I felt so cared for. Aneeta & Conrad are so attentive to the details and are great hosts.

I had a lot of time to just wander around and go kayaking. I'll definitely be coming back. 

Get Calm Camping was one of the best camping experiences I have ever had. The place was peaceful, clean, well maintained, and perfect for relaxing away from the city. The atmosphere was calm and beautiful, and everything made the stay feel comfortable and enjoyable. I had an amazing time and created great memories. I would definitely recommend Get Calm Camping to anyone looking for a peaceful and memorable outdoor experience. 

I had a wonderful yoga experience with Aneeta. Her class blended movement, poses, and breathwork in a way that felt really grounding and helped ease the tension in my body.

The studio itself is bright and peaceful, with beautiful views of the surrounding nature that make it a calming space to practice. The property, with its gardens, wooded trails, and the Otonabee River just beyond, has such a restorative feel, and adds to the whole experience. The space feels welcoming and serene, and I left feeling relaxed and refreshed. I hope to be back soon. 

My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful experience at Get Calm. The property is beautiful, peaceful, and thoughtfully designed, and everything was spotless and perfectly set up for our stay. The yurt was incredibly comfortable and cozy, creating the perfect atmosphere to relax, unwind, and truly disconnect.

We especially loved the morning yoga and meditation session, which was such a calming way to start the day. The beautiful sauna tucked away in the woods was another highlight and made the whole experience feel even more special.

Aneeta and Conrad were fantastic hosts—warm, welcoming, and clearly passionate about creating a memorable experience for their guests. Get Calm is truly a little oasis and the perfect escape from the busyness of city life. We left feeling relaxed and refreshed and would absolutely return. Highly recommend!! 

Our stay here was absolutely magical! ✨ The yurt tucked under the stairs felt like our own little hidden escape. It was cozy, peaceful, and unique. It was such a special place to slow down and enjoy the surroundings. Aneeta and Conrad were incredibly attentive, welcoming, and kind. Every little detail made us feel comfortable and cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a more memorable getaway and can't wait to come back! 🌿✨ 

Aneeta and her husband were amazing hosts. Their property is beautiful. The Yurt was very comfortable and clean. The nearby Otonabee River is a great spot for kayaking and viewing nature. It was the perfect spot just outside Peterborough but surrounded by nature. We will definitely be coming back. 

Thank you Aneeta and Conrad for such a wonderful stay at the farm.

It was a true nature experience that gave us a good balance of challenge and ease. Kayaking was fantastic and we fell asleep during the couple's yoga session!

On the other had, making the fire, getting and cooking fish that was gifted to us by Conrad, and the outdoor shower are stories we will laugh at for years to come.

Angela and Conrad, thank you for being so welcoming, friendly, and helpful. The chats were so appreciated and provided a human connection. You don't get that with some owners.

Oh and please thank your daughters for sharing their marshmallows to make smores.

Long story short, we loved it!
