Nestled in the heart of Russell, Ontario, HIRĀ is more than just a space, it is a sanctuary for transformation. What once was a charming vintage home, built in 1898, is now evolving into a dedicated retreat space for wellness, reflection, and community gatherings. Our mission is to create a place where individuals can escape, reset, and engage in meaningful experiences that nurture the body, mind, and spirit.
At the heart of HIRĀ is our French country-inspired lodge, a space designed to bring people together in a warm and intimate setting. More than just a place to stay, the lodge serves as the foundation for immersive retreat experiences, from weekend getaways to week-long journeys of personal growth and healing. Whether guests are seeking rest, knowledge, or self-discovery, HIRĀ will offer a welcoming haven where they can immerse themselves in holistic wellness.
