Harmony Dawn

Last Updated September 8, 2026

Harmony Dawn is a retreat designed by Andy and Nicola James to experience the healing powers of nature and ancient mind-body wisdom. Located near Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal, the retreat offers a peaceful escape from city life. The 50-acre organic meadows and old growth forest are situated according to Feng-shui and Yin-Yang principles of balance. The main Harmony Dawn building is energy and water independent, and Yin-Yang principles are incorporated into the retreat. Nicola's cuisine, based on ageless balance principles, is a key part of the retreat. The retreat offers workshops and cooking workshops, with Nicola bringing an intuitive sense of Yin-Yang balance and formal training as a Medical Qigong Practitioner and Fengshui consultant.
