I’m Sonja, founder of Nurture, ardent lover of butter, candlelight and singing in harmony. Card carrying INFJ/Manifesting Generator. A ‘food storyteller’ at heart, I create custom menus and food experiences using food as a tool for connection and can’t wait to connect with all of you!
This will be Nurture’s 9th year running and it’s always an honour to continue to add new members to the incredible collection of kindred spirits who make up this community.

Hi, I’m Steph. Aside from intentionally infusing all Nurture systems and retreat logistics with love, I am a creative business coach and educator. My goal is to make your business more sustainable, more expansive, and ultimately more FUN for you by streamlining your systems, supporting your business strategy, and helping you prioritize your self-care.
I am the creator of The Profoundery, an online business community full of accountability, resources & connection for thoughtful, values-based entrepreneurs. I’ve enjoyed hosting on Learn With Shopify and have taught classes in partnership with Creative Mornings and Make Lemonade. My podcast, Slowpreneur: Business without the Busy, aims to spark conversations about new ways of living and working that support and honour our humanity. In my spare time, you can find me reading romance novels and spending with my puppy (preferably simultaneously).

Hi, I’m Nimra, a community-engaged visual artist and maker of crafts. I grew up in Karachi and currently live on the traditional territory of the Anishinaabe, Haudenosaunee, and Attawandaron peoples, in Cambridge Ontario.
I come from a lineage of women who crafted with what they had, appreciated and grew plants, and valued the lives and stories of materials. I create paints, dyes, and sculptural pieces with plants, rocks, and shells while exploring our complex relationships with these materials and have facilitated community-engaged workshops with folks of all ages and abilities. I co-lead Reth aur Reghistan with my sister Manahil, a multidisciplinary arts project that engages with folklore from Sindh through artmaking and poetry (sculpturalstorytelling.com) and am the co-author of Women Wide Awake: Sculptures, Stories & Poems From Sindhi Folklore (Mawenzi House Publishers 2023).
We’re so excited to introduce you to your fellow retreaters! Watch this space as new folks join to get to know them before the retreat.
Here is everything you need to know to have the best possible retreat experience this May!
