Location and travel details

We suggest flying in and out of the Ottawa airport the day before and after your time at Orphan Wisdom. This allows for ease of travel, delayed flights, and being in the dancing time of Old Man Winter. Orphan Wisdom is about a two hour drive from Ottawa. Orphan Wisdom is very close to Golden Lake, Ontario. Exact location will be shared one week before we gather with those in attendance.

We have received an outpouring of interest to attend the Full Boreal, Bless you! For now, we are pausing applications for this option. Please cheek back, we may open this up again if all 12 spots are not claimed. Alternatively, please consider joining Stephen for the Weekend Boreal or the Weekend Livestream.
