Storm Mountain Lodge:
An Exclusive Sanctuary
Amidst the Rockies
Situated in the pristine heart of Banff National Park, Storm Mountain Lodge isn't merely a venue—it's a historic emblem, a testament to Canada's rich heritage, cradled by the unparalleled grandeur of the Canadian Rockies. Ideally located between Banff and Lake Louise, this secluded gem offers not only luxurious accommodations but also a deeply authentic and personalized experience.
Exclusively reserved for our group, the lodge becomes our private haven, ensuring a transformative journey undisturbed by the outside world.
An All-Inclusive Transformational Experience
Envision yourself nestled within your very own historic log cabin
A quiet sanctuary echoing with tales from the 1920s yet brimming with today's comforts. Start your day on the patio, savouring the crisp mountain air and stunning views. Later, retreat to a soothing soak in a claw foot tub, followed by cozy moments by a wood-burning fireplace, journaling and reflecting on the day's rich experiences. This is more than a stay; it's a chance to disconnect from digital noise and immerse in luxury and nature's embrace.
A Culinary Adventure
At the heart of this retreat is an invitation to savour not just the views but also the flavours. Inspired by the beauty around, our dedicated chef and culinary team will craft a delightful gastronomic journey for us. From organic ingredients, Alberta-raised meats, wild fish, to freshly baked delights, our meals promise to be as memorable as the setting.
Rediscover yourself amidst nature's awe-inspiring canvas while being nurtured by both nature and culinary artistry. *We can also cater to various diets (vegan, veg, etc.)

"WUB was a weekend I will not forget. Not only does the staff consider all travel, dining and lodging logistics they also plan for the aesthetics of the workshop rooms. The views from the mediation rooms were stunning! The itinerary included the perfect amount of a variety to be interesting, but not overwhelming. Plus, the retreat was wisely planned.
Personally, I struggle with stress and I got some practical tools from several of the teachers and speakers. Most importantly, the positive energy and openness within this group of outstanding humans made me feel instantly welcome and comfortable. Everyone was mingling and enjoying the experience and I attribute this to the kind and loving nature of the leader of WUB, Paul. Thank you and I look forward to your events in the near future."
