Cortes Island & Vancouver, BC

No matter where I am in the rest of my life, it is so good
to know that Hollyhock is always there–this place, this sanctuary,
this community, this retreat, this mystical garden to which
I can always return to find myself once again.

Dear Friend,
2020 is going to be a special year. Can you feel it?
Hollyhock exists to inspire, nourish, and support people who
are making the world better. Each year we offer over 100
programs and conferences on Cortes Island, BC and in urban
locations such as Vancouver, BC.
What makes our gatherings so special? At our Cortes Island
campus you’ll find breathtaking natural landscapes and over-the-
top delicious garden-fresh meals—but beyond that, what you’ll
discover here is connection. People often tell us that Hollyhock
is a place where they found themselves or “their people.” In a world
full of societal strife and environmental crisis, this relational work
is more important than ever.
The more each one of us experiences and practices connection,
the more capacity we have to create meaningful impact. Taking
time for your personal growth not only supports you, it supports
your community, and ultimately, the world.
We’d love to make your 2020 year a meaningful one.
We can’t wait for you to join us.
Warmly,
Peter ceo, Mike board chair, and the Hollyhock team
