find your true north
doe bay resort, orcas island
january 22-25th, 2026
ARE YOU LIVING FOR YOUR IDENTITY OR FROM YOUR IDENTITY?
AFTER CHASING ALL THE WORLD HAS TO OFFER,
DO YOU STILL FEEL EMPTY AT THE END OF THE DAY?
True North is your orienting point — your fixed point in a spinning world - that helps you stay on track as an individual and member of your community. It is derived from your most deeply held beliefs, values, and the principles you abide by. It is your internal compass, unique to you, representing who you are at your deepest level.
relax
Immerse yourself in nature in outdoor soaking tubs before hopping into the warmth and comfort of a sauna to deeply relax.
wellness
Return the body to a state of ease and alignment through wellness practices such as massage, yoga Nidra, therapeutic art, story-telling, nature immersion, and mindfulness exercises that will target & release any feelings of being stuck or stress that you might be holding onto.
comfort
The accommodations are rustic and charming, but the real Doe Bay experience lies beyond your cabin, such as the active sea life playing in front of you, or the number of trails you can embark on, or the nourishing meal shared at Doe Bay Cafe.
