The Dundas Museum & Archives
Dundas is a community tucked beneath the Niagara Escarpment in Southern Ontario, Canada. It became incorporated as a town on July 28, 1847, and remained a distinct municipality until its amalgamation with the City of Hamilton on January 1, 2001. The Community of Dundas today, with its picturesque downtown, heritage homes, and tree-lined streets, has become the arts and cultural heart of the area.

Elizabeth
Wendy created such a safe and welcoming environment. I felt so comfortable expressing myself and gained so much from listening to others about self-compassion. It is something I will be implementing in my life. Now I have the tools to practice with. I loved this retreat and look forward to more.
Angie Rose
From the moment we walked in the small cottage door, I felt Wendy's calm, welcoming nature, I immediately felt at . Wendy guided us through every phase of the replenishing journey with calm energy and excellent information and methods. I love how the day was never rushed and I could make exactly what I felt my body and mind needed. I would highly recommend any of these workshops and will definitely be back for another!
I feel so rejuvenated.
